Groomer visits can be scary for many dogs. Learn how to prepare your dog to have a relaxed, comfortable, and nonthreatening experience.
The Dog Trainer host Jolanta Benal is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (www.ccpdt.org), working with private clients who need help with general manners or with serious difficulties such as aggression and separation anxiety. She also participates in the Safety Net program of New York City’s municipal animal shelter system, working to keep pets in their homes. Her approach is generally behaviorist (Pavlovian, Skinnerian and post-Skinnerian learning theory) with a big helping of ethology (animal behavior as observed in non-experimental settings). She’s happy to report that the science supports dog-friendly, human-friendly training, with plenty of rewards and fun. Check out Jolanta's book, The Dog Trainer's Complete Guide to a Happy, Well-Behaved Pet.
