HELP!
I have had a dog joined my books that is complex … the owner is saying I can’t use treats / toys as she has bad issues with guarding and can be aggressive… this dog is going to need some real work to get her to warm to grooming as she’s had bad experiences… I have no idea how I can do this without a positive reward…?! Do I say they need to sort the behaviour issue first …? If anyone can help be fab… would be happy to arrange a zoom if easier :-)

@Clare Pulfer so you have been able to get your hands on her. Does she respond well to verbal cues and praise

@Clare Pulfer can you do any TTouch on her? Does she do any training with her, I’ve bonded with some dogs doing things they know, like high fives, weave, spins etc. It builds a bond and releases stress or frustration and works as a reward for dogs who don’t accept treats, and as a reset in between grooming.

@Salina Prescott I think there was a delay as they were getting them checked with behaviourist prior to printing. They have been checked so I am presuming are currently being printed. Shouldn’t be too long now.
Courses & accreditation ?s
1. Can you apply for accreditation after you’ve already completed the theory only course? 2. For the theory only behavior course, do you have to keep your VIP membership active in order to have access to the course? If I switched to premium, would I lose access to the course I completed? 3. Do I unlock a course for the one-time flat fee and have permanent access or is it better to get VIP and get access to all the courses. And if I start them, do I continue to have access if switched to premium? Hopefully these questions make sense. I just want to make sure I don’t double purchase a course or lose access to it somehow. Thank you!

Meet ups !
It was so lovely to meet up with Vanessa today. We had such a nice chat about life and our jobs, and it honestly felt really refreshing. It’s not often you get to talk with someone who truly understands why we work the way we do.
