Operation Vet Visit
Face vet visits with confidence.
A two-part training series that is designed to prepare your dog for low stress veterinary visits
Check Up Champs

Ready to make vet visits easier on you and your furry friend? Our class helps to prepare your dog for the experiences and items they may encounter at a veterinary hospital. We'll show you how to build their confidence with things like getting on the scale or hanging out on the exam table. We'll even tackle the strange stuff, like stethoscopes and syringes, and of course, the glorious cone of fun!
Check Up Champs 2

Ready to take your pup's check-up skills to the next level? Building on the foundations from level one, this fun and interactive class adds new elements and skills. We’ll introduce muzzle training and mock injections, while increasing your dog's confidence with stationing, handling, and veterinary equipment.

Testimonial
"Leslie’s classes helped me and my dogs become more adaptive and resilient learners. The lessons improved my ability to detect subtle emotional and physical changes in my dogs.
