How can we help our dogs feel more comfortable with grooming and veterinary checks? A chin rest is one place to start. Your dog learns to rest their chin voluntarily on your hand or a suitable surface, then you gradually introduce handling. Learn more www.hannegrice.com/advice/chin-...

What is your dog’s equivalent of £5, £20 or £50? For one dog, it might be chicken; for another, sniffing a hedgerow may be more rewarding. The value of those rewards can change too.
