@tailsofconnection: Replying to @Missy the BEST thing we can do to protect our dogs from moments when we just “have to do the thing” is give our dogs a lifestyle of positive reinforcement and choice and control. We practice cooperative care even if we end up in situations where we have to remove their choice bc it helps them recover faster and protects their relationship with us. I outlined the major things I do in these crappy situations (bc they happen even when we work hard to prevent them) in the video — I hope it helps! Holler if you’ve got more questions!
This was so helpful. My 3 year old paraplegic dog HATES being expressed. But also has chronic uti’s so it has to happen 3-6x per day. This is very helpful long story short lol
