If you feel insecure with your skills, you could be giving confusing or conflicting cues to dogs, creating fear and even aggression. By learning proper restraint methods and which movements they control, you can adapt quickly to the situation and to the dog’s response.

Using counterconditioning and desensitization, you will create cooperative dogs for nail trims, injections, and venipuncture which shortens procedure time and uses fewer staff members. Gaining a dog’s consent and reading body language properly can result in fewer bites.
