3. Practice Exams At Home
A fun yet effective way on how to calm down a scared dog is to play out what scares them in the comfort of his own space. Some dog training exercises that you can do at home if your dog is scared of the vet is to pretend you’re the vet. Of course, you’re not going to give them any dog vaccine or do anything invasive, but you can simply check his ears, open their mouth to look at their teeth, and so on. Do these little things, and you’ll see that over time, your dog won’t be confused as to why you’re doing it, he’ll acknowledge it as normal, and that’s the key to avoid a scared dog at the vet. If you want to give your dog the full experience, why not put on some glasses and a white coat to resemble the vet itself? As long as your dog recognizes the real you, he’ll be comfortable!
