Think Like a Dog

In this episode, Andreia and Millie are joined by Jillian, trainer at Mirror Image K9 and puppy expert, to discuss how to train your dog for a less stressful experience next time you take them to the vet's office or groomer. Groomers and veterinarians are typically trying to get the job done as quickly as possible, whether to shorten the length of stress time for the dog or to get started on the next appointment. This typically doesn’t leave room for counter conditioning and desensitization. Learn how to keep your dog calm and less stressed at the vet or groomer with these tips.

In this episode we discuss:

- How to prepare a new puppy for handling
- Nail Trim vs. Nail Dremel
- Tips for vet visits
- Why neutral energy is critical
- Muzzling
- Setting boundaries to help your dog feel more secure
- Less is more
- When you should hire a trainer
