Does your dog hate things like grooming, you using the vacuum, getting a bath, you shovelling snow or raking leaves, being held at the vet, getting eye drops or ears cleaned? There can be an endless list of things dogs don't like! The good news is that we can help our dogs by breaking what they hate down to turn a negative into a positive conditioned emotional response. Helping dogs like what they currently don't will set them and us up for a life of happiness together.
In the episode you'll hear:
• How it could be the sight, sound, feel, smell, or sensation of your dog's dislike.
• All the things we expect our dogs to tolerate in daily life.
• The reasons to know the behaviors you will be training.
• How we can create a positive conditioned emotional response (CER).
• About the importance of consent for cooperative care and our dog's buy-in.
• The training steps to giving your dog eye drops or ear drops so they don't hate it.
• Why it's important for dogs to be able to say, "I'm not comfortable".
• How our time patience can help our dog overcome many things.

| 0:00.0 | How would you answer this question? |
| 0:11.3 | My dog really doesn't like it when I do blank to him. Or my dog really doesn't like it |
| 0:19.7 | when I do blank. What is it that your dog really doesn't |
| 0:25.3 | like? And what are you doing about it? Hi, I'm Susan Garrett. Welcome to Shape by Dog. Today, |
| 0:31.0 | we're going to go over a fix for all of the things that your dog doesn't like when it happens. Now, of course, |
| 0:40.1 | there may be extreme fears that we're not going to be able to fix today. But there's a lot |
| 0:45.8 | of things. You'll be surprised. How did you answer that question? That's a question I asked on |
| 0:50.2 | Facebook last week. I had over 350 people put all kinds of responses. A lot of them were |
| 0:57.8 | very much the same. And they came down to sensations. My dog doesn't like it when he sees me |

| 1:11.3 | That could also involve a sound or a motion because if you're shoveling, the throwing of the snow |

| 1:53.2 | or take him to the veterinarians or put on a coat or boots or sweater. Some of you who do sports, |
| 2:00.6 | there may be sports specific |
| 2:02.1 | things that my dog doesn't like the seesaw or the end of the run. What is it that your dog |
| 2:09.8 | doesn't like? And gosh darn it, let's fix it. Because what your dog is showing you is a CER. Now, I talked about CERs in podcast episode |
| 2:22.3 | number 107 when I was sharing with you a great way to teach your dog to love to have their |
