Cooperative Care

Cooperative Care Training Sessions are one-on-one sessions focusing on helping your dog feel more comfortable with care procedures including taking medication, putting on equipment (harness, jacket, cone, muzzle, etc.), body handling, vet checks, and grooming. Helpful skills such as settling on a surface, stand-stay, and lying on the side are also practiced. These sessions take a slow and steady approach, breaking down care procedures into incremental steps to build positive associations and ensure your dog is comfortable at every step. Dogs will not be made to participate if they show discomfort or fear. For any existing body handling issues, fear, or aggression, contact our trainer directly at trainer@keshetkennels.com.
