In this 3 hour workshop, guest trainer of Howling Moon Pet Care, Jesi Kirk, will introduce you to all things Cooperative Care. Cooperative Care is a dog training method that focuses on teaching dogs to actively participate in activities such as grooming, handling, and veterinary procedures. The goal is for your dog to be a willing participant in the process and for your dog to be allowed to “say no” if they experience anxiety or stress. You will be training your dog not just to listen to you, but you will also be training yourself to listen to your dog. Jesi is a Fear Free certified groomer and trainer who is also a certified behavior consultant. During this workshop you will be introduced to strategies such as bucket game, chin rest, scratch boards, as well as how to advocate for your pet. We will cover how to counter condition and desensitize your dog to it’s dislikes or triggers. Dog’s who sign up for this workshop should be used to participating in group classes and able to settle during lectures and/or waiting for their turn.

If your dog is not suitable for working in a group you can also audit the workshop and come by yourself! You can book an audit spot HERE for only $50!
