THIS. 👏🐾
I’m so excited to see Endless Pawssibilities offering this.
One of the things I wish more dog owners knew is that grooming is a skill dogs can learn.
Having their paws held, nails trimmed, face touched, ears handled, body positioned, clippers around them… these are BIG asks when a dog hasn’t learned what to expect or that they’re safe while it’s happening.
And the more comfortable your dog becomes with being handled, the better the experience can be for everyone, your dog, their groomer, their vet, and YOU at home.
I love seeing opportunities like this that help our dogs learn what we’re asking of them, while teaching us how to work WITH them. 🤍
Grooming doesn’t have to be something we simply get through.
They can learn how to do it WITH us.
Cooperative care for the win. 🐾

Does your dog suddenly forget how to function when the nail clippers come out? 😅
Maybe they pull their paws away, fight brushing, hate having their ears touched, wiggle nonstop on the grooming table, or become stressed the second the vet starts handling them.
For a lot of dogs, these things don’t just get easier with time. They need to actually be taught how to feel comfortable with being handled.
That’s exactly what we’ll be working on in our Cooperative Care Foundations class. 🐾
We’ll build skills that can help with:
• Nail trims
• Brushing and grooming
• Paw, ear, face, and body handling
• Vet exams
• Wearing and removing equipment
• Being positioned or gently restrained for care
• Learning to stay calm and participate instead of struggling through it
The goal isn’t just to get the job done, it’s to help your dog understand what’s happening and feel safer during everyday care.
If you’ve ever thought, “My dog HATES having that done,” this class may be exactly what you need.
