COOPERATIVE CARE

Our 6-week Cooperative Care Training Class teaches dogs and their owners how to work together through common grooming, handling, and medical care tasks using positive reinforcement and choice-based training techniques. This course focuses on building trust, reducing stress, and creating long-term success for both dogs and their people.
This class is ideal for:
- Puppies learning handling skills early
- Dogs who struggle with grooming or vet visits
- Dogs who struggle with nail trims or ear cleaning
- Dogs needing muzzle conditioning or handling confidence
- Owners wanting safer, lower-stress care routines
Help your dog feel safer, calmer, and more confident during everyday care and veterinary handling.
We’re sorry, but our group classes do not cover behavior challenges such as severe on-leash reactivity (barking, growling, and/or lunging at others while on leash), excessive barking, separation anxiety, confinement distress, extreme fearfulness of people or dogs, or aggression. If you are experiencing any of these behaviors, please check out our private training options.
