Yesterday was a huge day for Simba and Kenzo...annual vaccination day. And it was a roaring success 🤩
Previously, any vet trip has been incredibly stressful for both boys, not to mention their owners! Simba would bark and snap at staff, Kenzo would shake like a tiny earthquake and urinate on himself.
We have been working hard to change this through cooperative care. A home visit, rather than going to the clinic just made so much sense. Working in our comfort zone set us up well from the start.
We definitely have points to work on and strengthen for future, a few new skills to learn and polish up too.
But the huge take away here, is that neither dog was forcibly restrained at any point. Nobody urinated on themselves (including me, yay), there was no earthquake shaking, and no shut down dogs.
We worked at their pace and let them run the session as they were comfortable.
The result is 2 happy and vaccinated dogs, and 2 super relieved owners!
