A conversation about cooperative care can begin with one everyday care task and your dog’s existing experience of it. Ask the team what preparation is appropriate and who can help you understand the process.
You do not need to arrive with a trained routine. Sharing what feels manageable, what has been difficult and how your dog responds gives the professional a starting point for an individual discussion.
