Counterconditioning and Desensitization Basics Ep216

from Creating Great Grooming Dogs

This week, we're discussing counterconditioning and desensitization. Many groomers misuse these terms, thinking they can simply expose dogs to scary tools or procedures to make them less sensitive, but this often has the opposite effect. We'll explore how to properly implement these techniques to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cooperative during grooming.
