Gearing Up Calmly

Whether it’s a collar, leash, or even muzzle it’s much easier to enjoy time with your pet when putting on gear is stress free.

Create space for short training exercises to reduce anxiety and set the scene for calm behavior.

Show the gear, wait for calm, attempt to put it on… stop if the animal gets too excited. Repeat until they understand what you want. Stop if you get frustrated, try again later. You are BOTH learning.

Est. time per exercise: 5-15 min
