Early developmental stage body molding and massage work with yes marker and food reward.
Our goal is to desensitize our puppies to physical handling systematically.
Calm responses to being handled equal release from handling and food.
Attempts to disagree with being handled do not create any further outcome as we hold our position until the puppy settles.
When consistently applied pups ease into handling with a relaxed, conflict free association.
This benefits our dogs during medical care, grooming, etc.
Additionally the exercise offers another opportunity to reduce conflict towards humans in regard to resources since we are adding food, etc without conflict as well.
