Simple Guide for Easing Your Dog into Ear Cleaning in 7 Effortless Steps (Revised Title)

Juliana DeWillems, a certified professional dog trainer, has shared a new post on her Instagram account, JW Dog Training & Behaviour Consulting (@jwdogtraining), demonstrating ear care training for dogs. The post, titled "Five things I wish I had known before my dog ripped her ear," provides advice on emergency first aid for a dog's ear and encourages dog owners to start ear care training with their pets using the best dog treats.

In the training session, DeWillems uses high-value treats such as rotisserie chicken and cheese cubes to create a positive association. She pairs a bottle with treats to reinforce the process. The training aims to get dogs more comfortable with ear care in particular, and DeWillems ensures Lola, her training dog, has a comfortable non-slip surface to be on during the training.

DeWillems respects Lola's autonomy during training sessions and gradually desensitizes her to body and ear touching. She introduces a dry wipe and non-toxic medical supplies during the training. In an emergency, DeWillems advises carrying out first aid on a dog's ear with caution. The training ends with a treat party to reinforce positive associations.

While there is no information available about DeWillems' certified professional training or when she completed her training in the provided search results, the post encourages dog owners to seek professional help when necessary. The post does not specify the contents of the post in detail, but it seems to provide advice on emergency first aid for a dog's ear.

DeWillems did not specify the exact contents of the post, but the post is a valuable resource for dog owners who want to learn more about ear care for their pets and how to prepare for potential medical emergencies involving the dog's ears.
