Vet exams, grooming, nail trims, dental care... your dog will need to be handled throughout their life. If they're not used to it, these moments can become stressful for everyone involved.
The good news: handling is a skill you can build at home, before your dog is ever in a vet's office or groomer's table!
Don't wait until your dog has to tolerate an exam or appointment to find out how they'll react. Practice at home, start small, and stay consistent. If your dog is anxious or reactive when handled, your local Bark Busters trainer can help.
