To all my gorgeous Doodle-mix owners (that's you Cockerpoos, Cavapoos, Maltipoos, and all the other 'poos!) πΎ
Does your puppy have some knots? Especially in their ears, and armpits? No judgement here - Jet gets knotty too, with his unruly spaniel feathers. And how does your puppy get on with you brushing out those knots? Honestly now, do they move themselves away from the brush? Do they lay firmly down, pressing themselves into the floor so you can't get to their belly? Do they try to bite the brush? All of these are signs that they're not super comfortable with the process.
The thing is, if we ignore these "please stop that" signals from them, they're not likely to just get used to it, they're likely to escalate those signals and potentially become less and less comfortable with other handling, such as nail clipping, vet checks, and vaccinations.
This is where my Happy Handling course comes in...
This course is for you if:
β¨ You want vet visits to be as relaxed as possible.
β¨ You want to improve communication between you and your dog.
β¨ You want your relationship with your dog to be founded on trust and confidence.
I would love for you to join my Happy Handling course, and I can help to make that daily grooming that you're meant to be doing π less like a chore.
The logistics... the course is 6 sessions across 6 weeks; the first session is an online video to watch, then sessions 2-6 are in-person at Warndon Hub, WR4 9NX. There are two available courses to book onto, and the dates/times are as follows:
