Insider tip: Happy Howies meat rolls are the only treats I bring with me for most dog training clients anymore and I've yet to meet a dog that doesn't think they are the best thing in the world. Bonus: they can be cut up into teeny tiny pieces, are low calorie, have limited ingredients, and even my dogs with tummy problems seem to tolerate them well. In case you're wondering, this post is NOT in any way sponsored, although given how fast we go thru these maybe it should be? 😉 Frida will gladly be your spokespup at any time!

Last year ear drops required 2 people, a muzzle, and a prayer. And now.... just some whipped cream, and the sweet sounds of Justin Bieber.

A little context: we spent a few weeks last year doing 3-5 min a day of a cooperative care ear cleaning protocol (shoutout Waite et al., 2025). Frida's been maintaining the skill since. So when a double ear infection popped up last week requiring daily drops, we had something to build on.

To clarify, this here isn't true cooperative care. She can't opt out, and this is a different setup than our usual protocol so we don't poison that one. But when you can't skip the procedure, you make it as good as possible: best possible reinforcers, warm up reps, waiting until she's focused and ready before each one. And whipped cream at the end because she's earned it. We do the best we can with what we've got, but it sure helps to prepare before you need the skills! Show Frida some love in the comments!

PS- if you want to read the Waite ear cleaning article, comment and I'll DM you the link.
