One of the common things clients tell us is their dog is terrible at the vet. The dog is “perfect” everywhere else but not there. My question back is usually “well what are you doing to prepare your dog for success at the vet?”. Are you working on touching and grabbing random areas, look at teeth and ears, accountability during the ride there and in the waiting room? What about leverage their obedience while in the exam room? Dogs can be successful at the vet but it’s up to us to set them up for success! Are you struggling with the vet? Let me know! Want other tips? Let me know!

Believe it or not this is amazing training for Greyson! He’s having to control his drive, listen, and be patient! The bite sleeve is just as much of a reward as any toy or food! And no this will not create an aggressive dog!

For those of you who’ve trained with us in the past: what was the moment that made you finally decide to invest in dog training? We ask because so many dog owners are standing right where you once stood wondering if training is “worth it,” questioning if they’re overreacting, or hoping things will magically improve on their own. If you’re comfortable sharing, drop your story below. You never know who might read your comment and realize they’re not alone, and that change is actually possible.

Merry Christmas everyone!
