Co Operative Care
What is 'Co-operative Care'?
Co-op care is the way in which we care for our dogs with their co-operation. The typically focuses on the provision of vet care, giving medications and grooming. For many dogs and families, these essential husbandry activities can be highly stressful, if not seemingly impossible.
Lots of dogs we work with become very fearful and frustrated during vet care and grooming, which often leads to them displaying aggressive behaviours. That is clearly not a nice experience for them, and puts those trying to handle them at risk of injury too. All too often this means the dogs cannot access adequate grooming and vet care.
Co-operative care focuses on working with your dog. Teaching them skills to help with grooming and vet care, building their confidence in these scenarios, and strengthen your communication and relationship too.
Co-operative care is the norm in zoo medicine.If you can teach a chimpanzee to show their teeth,or a whale to allow a restraint free blood sample,we can help your dog have their nails cut, and vaccines done.All without force or fear.
