Description
No, this webinar isn’t about antidepressants. It’s about teaching your dog to swallow pills. Naked pills. This is a core husbandry behavior – a component of cooperative healthcare. Though hiding medication in food or pill-pockets often works, it can backfire. You might find yourself needing to be ever more creative about what tasty food can disguise the pill. And sometimes, the bitter taste or weird sensation in the throat will become associated with food, causing your dog to hesitate when offered any treat or meal. We’ll look at some options for shaping voluntary pill-swallowing, which is an extension of the “trick” of fluent eating. Kathy’s experience working with zoo animals provides inspiration to share this information with everyone who cares for a dog.
