Course Description
Going to the vet can cause fear, anxiety and stress in both animals and their humans…and that may result in less-than-optimal care, or even avoidance when it comes to making appointments. The Fear Free initiative addresses these problems by making vet visits less stressful for everyone involved.
Things to Learn
You’ll master practical strategies such as daily “happy handling” routines, respectful restraint training, pre-visit calming walks, use of familiar mats and treats during checks, and mindful owner-vet interaction to significantly reduce stress and anxiety in dogs.
