Is your dog stressed at the vet? We are here to help!
RSPCA’s Stress Less At The Vet will give dog owners new skills and strategies to improve vet visits and medical care for their pets. While many dogs are "fine" with vet visits, many are not, meaning they can't get the care they need. This three-hour seminar teaches you how to train your dog to be a willing participant in their physical care and how to overcome your dog's fear of vet visits, getting ear/eye medications and nail trims.
Presented by dog trainers, you will be empowered to help your dog cope and enjoy their medical care through Co-Operative Care training and low stress handling.
