How can I, as an owner, recognize a good Medical Training offer?
There should be a sense of calm and there should be a fixed appointment. It shouldn’t be done alongside the practice, but either before or after office hours, or in a separate room. Different activities are practiced: For example, weighing and lying on the table, palpation and so on. Objects like a stethoscope or even the otoscope are brought in and explained. We often also present practice exercises to do at home. For example, the administration of eye or ear drops can be practiced at home. Of course, it makes sense to do this training not just once, but often. We are not talking about daily training for life, but rather establishing and positively connoting the practice environment in three to five appointments with an animal that has never been in the practice before.
