Applied Techniques of Relaxation Therapy for your Dog
Duration: 2 hrs
The ability for us to relax and the value of controlled breathing are considered highly valuable and extremely important. Breathing exercises for humans lead to physiological and physical improvements. The same benefits can apply to dogs. With relaxation therapy, dogs are rewarded when they relax and breathe slower. Dogs learn to relax themselves to earn their rewards. With relaxation therapy, you will reward your dog for relaxing. This is done by observing your dog's body language. You watch ear position, eyes and breathing rate. Dog's are rewarded when the ears relax, the look in the eyes is less intense and the breathing rate shows a significant decline. You are conditioning your dog to realize that relaxation is a rewarded behaviour.
This workshop will teach you the basics of Relaxation Therapy and the behaviours to watch for.
Cost - $125
