Dogs rarely go from calm to biting without warning. Natalie Woolley talks you through real video of dogs being lifted, groomed and having their nails trimmed so you can spot the small signals and adjust your handling in time.
Includes the full recording (35 minutes) and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.
The signals a dog gives before it growls or bites are small and fast: a lip lick, a hard swallow, a glance with the whites of the eyes showing. Learn to see them and you can change your handling before a patient feels it has to defend itself.
Natalie Woolley works through real video of dogs being lifted onto a table, groomed with and without low-stress handling, and having their nails ground or clipped. Each clip is paused to point out whale eye, lip licking, hard swallows, panting, ear and tail position, a hunched top line, weight shifting away and paw lifting, and what each one means for how you handle that dog.
You’ll see the difference between a dog that is comfortable, one that is merely tolerating handling, and one that has shut down. The webinar also covers safe lifting technique for a medium to large dog, positioning for a nail trim, and what a shake-off tells you after handling.
