Overview

Whether you’re a veterinarian, veterinary technician, trainer, groomer, or pet owner, every interaction you have with a dog affects them. With your movements, touch, and tone of voice, you can confuse them, or you can direct and guide them clearly. You can increase their uncertainty and fear, or you can increase their confidence in you. In these two fascinating hands-on labs Dr Sophia Yin, veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and author, teaches you to handle, move, and restrain dogs of all sizes and personalities using the techniques of Low Stress Handling™. Step by step, Dr Yin demonstrates how to give confident, clear direction and guidance with every interaction, resulting in dogs that trust you rather than fight you. It includes the following presentations: Lab 1: Essential Exercises for Moving Dogs from Place to Place. Lab 2: Handling and Restraining Medium-Sized and Large Dogs with Skill and Ease.
