Teaching Calm Restraints!

Think how much happier both you and your dog will be if you condition your puppy to calm accept being held in a gentle restraint? Vet appointments will be a joy, grooming appointments will be far less stressful. And, when necessary for safety, your puppy will be content to be held in place for a little while. No struggling, no stress, no whining or wiggling. Just calm.

We have much more to teach for 'Cooperative Care' with your puppy or even your adult dog, but you can get started with 'teaching a gentle restrained hold' here. Start early with your puppy, and go slow if you are teaching this new skill to an adult dog.
