Module 3: Handling and Vet-Proofing
Build cooperative handling so restraint, grooming, and vet care don’t become conflict later.
How to use this module
- Keep sessions short and stop while it’s still easy.
- Protect sleep and calm first; training sits on top of that.
- If focus drops, reduce difficulty rather than repeating cues.
