cooperative care

build trust to create stress free grooming and veterinary care

Cooperative Care is a 4-week program focused on handling, grooming, and stress-free vet visits . Through a series of exercises designed to build trust and communication, your puppy or dog can learn to choose to participate in their own care. Dogs can benefit from this class regardless of age or prior experiences with handling and grooming.

Price: $55 per dog, per class.

Prerequisites: For non-aggressive dogs aged 2 months or older. Handlers must be comfortable using a clicker or other marker.

Some dogs should NOT join Cooperative Care class: If your dog barks, growls, or is aggressive to people or dogs, your dog is not yet eligible for Cooperative Care. Private lessons may be required to prepare your dog for group classes. Dogs who are not appropriate for group classes will be excused and no refund will be given.
