Teaching our dogs to accept being handled is such an important thing for them to learn. It makes going to the vet or groomer a simple task rather than a stressful fight.
We use the exact same marker concepts to check the dogs teeth, look in his ears, grab his collar and brush him. We break the task into small parts and mark/reward each step along the way. In the short video below you will watch Cindy handle Meru using markers. This only needs to take a couple of minutes every day for the dog to accept being handled. This is something we will do for many months.
Your Puppy 8 Weeks to 8 Months is being remastered and will be released fall of 2019.
