Grooming Husbandries ESAAP Module 2

"Learning basic force free grooming for all those who want to provide essential hygiene care to dogs."

Debbie Jacobs, CPDT-KA owner and founder of Fearfuldogs.com recommends this practical workshop to all professionals and non-professionals who want to learn basic force free grooming techniques. "Too many dogs have difficulty with groomers manipulations or at the vet. Trainers, dog educators, groomers and dog owners get up to date in force free training, in stress reduction, to help dogs become comfortable with a variety of procedures that, without the techniques learned in ESAAP, require restraints or even sedation to achieve the result."

"Long before the Fear Free movement was born, Yanick and Marie-Claude were teaching groomers in Europe and Canada how to groom dogs and cats without force or restraint in stress reduction (TCAP). Their TCAP program has proven itself in the grooming community since 2010. Watching Marie-Claude, Yanick, the dog educators and the groomers trained by them, I think we should invent a new name to describe what they do, it's not only fear-free but it's a wonderful work of art!"- Debbie Jacobs

This workshop is for both professionals and dog lovers who wish to learn the basics of grooming while training animals to be in a calm, fearless and confident state while being brushed, detangled, shaved, washed, dried and then clipped. 

Dog owners are also welcome. Don't stress about routine grooming for your dog. Learn what you can do safely and successfully at home with your pet.  

Choose with whom you want to learn your new skills to give your dogs a better future!
