Enjoy this adorable montage of puppies playing on a ⛰! (Er, I mean skateboard ramp!)

My perfect dog. My heart dog. We have spent so much time training in her 10 years. A lot of that training is cooperative care skills. Here she demonstrates a jugular blood draw. No restraint. I taught this with a clicker and her kibble. Damn I love this dog.

Glamour shots of my Greedodog sporting his Baskerville ultra basket muzzle with Halti head collar underneath. This is our gear for veterinary visits. Greedo does not enjoy veterinary care and while we have invested a lot of time in training cooperative care (see video of Greedo's no restraint blood draw in my feed) there still some things that make him uncomfortable. In order to ensure everyone's safety Greedo is happy to sport his muzzle and the Halti helps to give me a bit more control when I can't give Greedo choice.

Kevin graduated puppy class on Saturday and earned his AKC STAR Puppy title!

Rosie is staying with me while her parents are on vacation and they asked that we work on ear cleaning during her stay. Rosie has not been tolerating having her ears handled but with those big, soft, floppy ears, it just really needs to happen in order to prevent infections from brewing. So I started off with some mat work, which Rosie remembered right away (she board and trained with me a year ago, too!), to utilize as a "start button" to the ear cleaning routine. When Rosie downs on the mat it means she's ready to begin her ear care routine. She can leave whenever she wants. Next I moved in to some simple handling of face and ears. Separately I reintroduced the ear cleaner and gauze, paying close attention to my order of operations in order to create a +CER. Finally I paired the gauze with her handling exercise (that's the first part of this vid), bringing the gauze to her ears and wiping. The last section of the vid shows me working through DS of handling the ear cleaner bottle (a big trigger for Rosie, and why I am not a fan of squirting ear cleaner directly into a dog or cats ear). Our final step to work through is bringing that cleaner soaked gauze to Rosie's ear canal. But we've got an entire week to work through this final step. Do you think we'll accomplish our goal?!
