Rehearse the Vet Visit

The exam room is no place to discover your dog hates being touched. Rehearse it at home, calmly, with treats.

Even if you never set foot in a show ring, the payoff is everywhere.

The groomer needs your dog standing. The vet needs them standing. The pet photographer, the harness, the towel after a muddy walk — all of it goes smoother with one calm command.
