    • Minimizing Stress at the Vet: Acepromazine
      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606596/

      • "It should be noted that the drug acepromazine (Ace, ACP) is contraindicated for treating anxious (Frank, Gauthier, and Bergeron, 2006 [35]) or aggressive animals as they are more reactive to noise and startle under its influence (Overall, 1997 [36]), and can produce marked sedation (Thompson, 1998 [37]). Acepromazine is a phenothiazine derivative tranquilizer that works by dissociative effects. This means that an animal might still perceive the fearful stimulus but be unable to make sense of it cognitively, resulting in increased fear and atypical reactions (Overall, 1997 [36]).”

    • The Bucket Game, a game that gives dogs choice and the ability to provide consent in handling.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hwtyaI3A8Q&list=UUfcojEnZk274xCQ0dO_x_sQ&index=6

      • Here is a video of Wyatt (Head of Behavior Modification) working with his own dog on a two-handed ear check using a method very similar to the bucket game. This is the kind of thing we would work on during an in-office consultation. Noél did not like having her ears handled at this point. This is her first time doing this exercise; however, she is VERY familiar with the counter-conditioning process. This video does a good job of showing how quickly things can go with a dog who already knows how the game works. You can skip through if you’d like so you can easily see the full progression from just reaching an actual ear check, to what Wyatt calls “the ear manhandle”.
