What is Cooperative Care?

This Positive Reinforcement based training approach works on allowing your dog to be an active participant in their care and handling. By taking your time and moving at your dog’s pace, you can reduce stress, build a stronger relationship and increase the safety of these experiences. 

In this class you will learn:

• Handling Positions
• ‘Start Buttons’
• How to Desensitize or Counter-Condition touch (ears, paws etc) items (brush, nail clippers etc.)
• Muzzle introductions (a skill ALL dogs should have)
• Read your dog’s body language and communication
• Learn different handling techniques your dog may one day have to encounter

This 7 week long class will give you the knowledge and skills to teach and continue working on your Cooperative Care journey with your dog! This takes time, patience and consistency!

This Class is also offered Privately for more 1-on-1 instruction: Private Cooperative Care 101 Class
