Teaching Co-operative and Confident Handling to Dog and Owner Teams

Teaching handling to dogs and guardians is an absolutely essential part of dog ownership. Too often, it's only approached when there's an issue. If you're looking for ways to improve your handling skills, and your dog's understanding of what's expected of them, then this one's for you. We'll cover how to approach handling development in puppies, as well as how to troubleshoot existing handling challenges. 

Specific focuses include:

• How to teach your dog comfortable restraint, and how to position yourself correctly and safely

• How to build voluntary behaviours in your dog for handling

• How to set yourself up for success in the vet clinic setting
