Food or toy distractions can be an exceptionally useful tool in Fear Free. But they must be used appropriately, and in the correct situations, to ensure they actually decrease or prevent FAS, rather than inadvertently make things worse.
This one-hour course will empower you to know when to use distractions (and when not to use them), how to properly implement them, and what to do “in the moment.” Through several video examples and scenarios such as nail trims and vaccines, you will learn what to do “in the moment” as well.
