What is Cooperative Care?

Dogs taught using cooperative care training willingly participate in unpleasant events and this helps to increase their confidence and tolerance for handling during vet exams or procedures.

Instructor Bio:

Lisa Hird

I have two rescue dogs and have worked with dogs for over 30 years. Educated to a degree level, I have much experience with all breeds, supporting many dog rescues. I am co-director and course tutor for Without Worry Canine Education, delivering training on canine behaviour. I also own Dog Behaviour Clinic, using only force-free methods providing the owner with effective management and training skills. I undertake veterinary referrals and work very closely with my own Vets. Creating a fear-free, cooperative care experience for dogs is my passion. I do not use cruel or harsh methods. I believe in relationship-centred training and knowing what the dog says to us through his body language. We must always consider the emotional needs of the individual dog.
