LIVE! CLASSES from Karen Pryor Academy
ENROLLING NOW
Cooperative care makes caring for your dog safer, lower-stress, and more consistent for you, your dog, and anyone else involved. But teaching dogs the behaviors that are needed for cooperative care can intimidate even the most well-intended trainers and pet guardians (injection training? Yikes!). Once you have taught these behaviors, the infrequency with which they are needed and the amount of time it takes to set up practice sessions make it easy for dogs to lose fluency (and for trainers to lose interest).
Imagine if the behaviors needed for cooperative care were fun to teach, learn, show others, and practice. In this class, Sara McLoudrey teaches you how the road to cooperative care success can be paved with fun skills and “trick-style” behaviors that keep the learning process reinforcing for you and your dogs. Cooperative care need not be “chore-full.” It should be joyful.

With Amber QuannRaise the bar for fun outings with your dog.
Breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, wineries, and cafes everywhere are becoming more welcoming to our dogs. However, distractions in these spaces—tasty temptations, brewery brouhaha, friendly strangers, tight quarters, new smells, and more can make these outings anything but relaxed for us, our dogs, and the cafe staff! As we like to say, the only “chaser” we want comes with a beverage.
If we want to enjoy these fun but distracting environments with our dogs, we need to teach them HOW to do that successfully. Join Drink With Your Dog® program creator Amber Quann in this four-week LIVE virtual class teaching top-shelf brewery and cafe manners for your dog!

Dogs need frequent care, including nail trims, eye drops, and ear cleaning. Yet administering that care can be stressful for everyone involved. There’s a better way. Cooperative Care is an approach that makes husbandry and veterinary care safe, low-stress, and significantly easier. In Cooperative Care: Husbandry at Home, Laura Monaco Torelli teaches you the proven, groundbreaking strategies and techniques that she has used to transform the care experience for canine caregivers and their dogs, as well as for veterinary and zoological professionals.
Learn how to build rock-solid care routines and stimulus control on multiple care behaviors, and how to generalize those behaviors to new environments. Take the worry and stress away; make routine canine care “care-free.”
