Cooperative Care Course

Transform your pet's experience at the vet and during routine health maintenance with our Cooperative Care course! Designed for pets and their parents, this course focuses on building trust and cooperation during essential care activities like nail trimming, ear cleaning, and tooth brushing.

You will learn practical techniques to help your pet feel more comfortable and relaxed during vet visits and at home, effectively reducing anxiety and stress. Through positive reinforcement and gentle handling strategies, you’ll empower your furry friend to participate willingly in their own care.
