Ready, Set, For Groomer and Vet: Husbandry At Home

How do we support the average pet owner to ensure their comfort level? It can be overwhelming to hear the need to administer allergy shots (per veterinary direction), ear drops, or place a basket muzzle on their canine companion. We wouldn’t flood the animal learner with too many approximations or expectations. How can we arrange the teaching environment so it includes empathy, education, and empowerment for those that collaborate in our pets’ care?

Join Laura to learn more about how she integrates exotic animal experience into a curriculum for her client teams that support comfort level coupled with skill level.

Join this new webinar with Laura Monaco Torelli to learn simple strategies to help craft a care team collaboration. Initial tips and valuable considerations will be discussed and demonstrated. All within the scope of what we can do proactively as pet owners’ framed into positive day-to-day interactions. Q&A time with our live virtual guests will also navigate important discussion points.
