Support is a professional skill
The program teaches how hand placement, body position, weight distribution, surface, transition, environment, pacing, and team communication affect what the cat can support. The goal is not a catalog of holds. It is a repeatable way to organize contact and reassess threshold.
Program blocks
- Orientation, scope, ethics, and stop authority.
- Feline body state and behavior before contact.
- Environmental Choreography™ and equipment staging.
- TANDEM Touch™ positions, transitions, and partner communication.
- Role-specific scenarios for grooming, veterinary, boarding, rescue, or shelter work.
- Practical submission, feedback, remediation, and certificate decision.
Certificate meaning
The certificate confirms completion of the published knowledge and practical requirements. It does not authorize veterinary practice, confer the groomer credential, or grant instructor or licensing rights.
