As a gift to the Northern Virginia community Hearts in Harmony and Joyful Dog hosted a Fear-Free dog training seminar in Hamilton, Virginia on March 3rd. The admission free event focused on teaching pet owners how to train their dogs to become more comfortable with veterinary handling and grooming. Speakers included Fear Free Certified Professionals Kim Miller (Hearts in Harmony) and Marnie Montgomery (Joyful Dog)as techniques were discussed on how to encourage dogs to become a willing participant in their own care.
For some dogs who don’t enjoy trips to the groomers, activities that seem mundane to humans such as nail trimming and clipping can be quite stressful and even traumatic to some extent. To provide much needed help and information to concerned pet owners, Kim is offering 4-week Fear Free training classes starting March 18th. During the classes, participants will learn methods of alleviating and preventing fear, anxiety and stress in their pets, as well as how to prepare your dog for veterinary, grooming visits and care.
