This section was initially focused on handling and grooming but as Leo got recently diagnosed with arthritis I decided to add a section on how to help your dog through physiotherapy and massage. I am going to add videos on how I make life easier for Leo with again massages, house modification and daily adaptations to fit his new needs.

On the handling side, because throughout his life your dog will have to go to the vet it is a great idea to touch your pet the way your veterinarian will do. Teaching your dog to be handled will help as well for grooming (see section dedicated to it). If your dog is used to be touched or set on his side or back, any coming experience requiring this will be less stressful.

We all have experienced a bark after the doorbell, and hiding under the bed after thunder or a chasing after a squirrel. Desensitizing can really improve or make your pooch life safer. Plus that will block a lot of potential stress for you four legged friend.  We don’t want our dog to cross a road because he saw something on the other side. These videos will help you to desensitize your dog and help improve its impulse control.
