Why lick enrichment works for dogs:

Sustained licking triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, producing a natural calming effect. Lick-based enrichment tools are used by veterinarians and certified dog trainers to reduce grooming stress, facilitate cooperative care, manage fear responses, and reinforce positive training associations.

The SodaPup eStick is a hand-held interactive target stick designed to provide focused enrichment and positive reinforcement exactly where and when you need it. Load the textured lick surface with peanut butter, squeezable treats, or soft food and present it during nail trims, ear cleaning, veterinary exams, or any procedure your dog finds stressful — turning aversive experiences into positive, treat-associated moments.

Who the eStick is designed for:

• Dog trainers using positive reinforcement methods
• Veterinarians and veterinary technicians performing cooperative care procedures
• Groomers working with anxious or reactive dogs
• Pet owners conditioning puppies to accept handling
• Anyone practicing nail trim desensitization, ear cleaning, or injection conditioning

How to use the SodaPup eStick:

1. Load the lick surface with a high-value spread (peanut butter, cream cheese, pureed meat)
2. Present the eStick to your dog at the start of any procedure
3. Allow continuous licking throughout the session for maximum calming benefit
4. Withdraw the eStick at the end of the session to create a clear begin/end signal
5. Refreeze or reload for the next session

The eStick is dishwasher safe (top rack) and freezer safe — freeze loaded with peanut butter or wet food for longer, more challenging sessions, or use at room temperature for quick reinforcement during brief procedures.
