The Fear Free Treat Ladder for Dogs

Each of us has preferences about what we find appealing and when! Ice cream or steak? Chocolate or strawberry? Sweet or salty? Join Monique Feyrecilde, BA, LVT, VTS Behavior, who will explore preferences, options, feeding methods, and how best to use the Fear Free Treat Ladder during veterinary visits.

Attendees will learn :

1) Explore a variety of options for each patient interaction and observe patient preference.
