Co-operative Care đ«¶đ»
Teaching your dog to cooperate with handling exercises is an important part of their training. Getting them comfortable with having their eyes, nose, ears, paws, and body checked helps make vet visits safer and less stressful for everyone involved. One of the most useful skills you can teach is a chin rest, where your dog gently places their chin in your hand and remains still while being examined. This gives your dog a choice to participate, builds trust, and makes routine health checks much easier throughout their life.
