The Path to a Great Bath

Course overview

Bath time is scary for many animals - whether it's the sound of the water, the feel of it on their skin, being restrained, or the tub itself. This one-hour module will teach you how to break down the bathing process into individual components that can be worked on separately, to allow for calmer, safer bathing experiences. We will provide step-by-step desensitization and counter-conditioning plans for every component - from introducing the shampoo bottle, to entering the tub, to introducing water, to the sound and feel of the dryer. You'll also learn what you can do to modify the bathing environment to make it more inviting and less stressful for animals.
