Co-Operative Care



Considerate Care
Co-operative care is about empowering our dogs to be active in their care. It's giving your dog a choice where possible to do so.
Here at Paws-Ability we love everything that lowers our dogs stress, fear and anxiety levels and encourage you to consider partnering iwth us to teach your dog some co-operative care skills.
​
As human's we like to know what's going on and be involved in our care, dogs are no different.
​
When learning and using co-operative care skills you're not only training your dog to listen to you, you're training yourself to listen and read your dogs body language.
​
Co-operative care training can help your dog be comfortable with grooming, nail trims, needles, putting on harnesses, muzzles and more!
​
Would you like your dog to be happy to wear a muzzle, to not pull away from you when you bring the harness or nail clippers out of the cupboard? All this and so much more is possible with co-operative care training, and it's fun!
​
Co-operative care includes
​
-
Introducing new equipment (muzzles, clippers etc), slowly over several sessions, and ensuring your dog is comfortable and relaxed before you go to the next step of training.
​
-
Going at your dogs pace
​
-
Your dog will remains still / co-operate because he/she is okay with the handling, not because of force / fear
​
-
If the dog is stressed, things are moving too fast
