Fear Free Handling is a 6-week self-study class that teaches an innovative modern approach to veterinary, grooming and husbandry care that centres around cooperation, choice and trust. For many of our pet dogs common grooming, handling and veterinary procedures cause a great deal of stress, fear, and frustration and overtime even the sight of the brush, or sound of a bath can provoke stress, avoidance and even aggression. Learn how to desensitize your dog to these triggers and teach them to consent to brushing, nail clipping, teeth brushing, taking harnesses on and off, baths and more.
