Greetings!
In this newsletter I am touching on how our pets see some our common instruments, like a stethescope, as a trigger for fear. It may not make sense at first but read on and hopefully you will become more aware of how pets associate fear with the tools of the veterinary trade.
I have also posted some new videos on my you tube channel DrSallyJFoote featuring a nervous dog for exam, and 2 lunging dogs in the waiting area. I hope these give you help in your day to day work or with your own pets.

I am also available to speak to veterinary, technician, trainers and any other animal professionals about behavior and reducing aggression during care. I have presented to the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association, American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, as well as numerous webinar presentations. It is time to end the culture of fear in pets at the veterinary clinic. It is possible, and does not have to take a lot of time.
