Handling Packages
NOT JUST A GROOMING SALON...
We specialise in dogs who find handling difficult, applying calm, skilled techniques to develop cooperation, trust, and emotional control.
Every session is purposeful, shaping a dog who can navigate handling with confidence.
From routine procedures to complex behaviour profiles, we aim to help dogs learn how to respond thoughtfully, not impulsively.
Achieving meaningful change through clarity, fairness, and expertise.
HANDLING MASTERCOURSE
FROM BATTLES TO BREAKTHROUGHS
Some dogs will never love nail clipping or going to the vets, but they can learn to tolerate it.
​
For dogs who show fear, avoidance, over-arousal, or aggressive behaviour during grooming, when restrained, or being examined.
​
This specialist program helps dogs learn how to tolerate & stay calm during real-life handling using clear structure, balanced training methods, and gradual exposure.
Who's it for?
Panic at groomers or vets.
​
Snap or bite when being touched, having their nails done, being brushed etc.
​
Fidget, scream, or resist any kind of handling.
​
Shut down, hide, or tremble during care routines
DOES YOUR DOG...
How long does
it take?
Progress varies depending on:
​
-
The dog’s previous experience.
-
Severity of the handling issues.
-
Owner consistency.
​
Most owners see meaningful change within 2–3 sessions, and strong, lasting tolerance by the end of the program.
