Practical Applications: Low-stress Handling of Dogs and Cats
Conducted by Dr. Sophia Yin Are you still routinely scruffing and stretching cats or reaching for the gloves with the ones that hiss? Do dogs struggle when you restrain them, or do you have difficulty with the hyperactive, fearful, or aggressive ones? Attend this course and you will experience firsthand the newest low-stress techniques for handling even the most difficult patients in a calm, efficient manner. You will learn eight toweling techniques for cats and two toweling techniques for dogs. You will practice handling variations for dogs of different sizes, shapes, and temperaments and learn to adjust what you do to the needs of the pet. Come learn the subtleties in technique that make the difference between a pet that feels secure and one that feels the need to struggle or try to escape. You'll be amazed by the results: dogs and cats that willingly allow procedures and love their visits to the hospital!
