After a lot of relationship building with Lori, Dandy began to realize that Lori's touch is pretty amazing! This carried over into our care and Dandy began actively seeking us out to be touched. Ear stroking is super relaxing to any dog - the way it has been described to me is "gently touching/stroking the ear like you would a rose petal". We do this will all our dogs and talk about a calming effect! These picutres and video are from early August.
Dandy has always struggled with having his face touched. Gentle TTouch to & around his muzzle is something we've been working on.
These touches were used a good amount when were introducing the wraps to him. You can see the baby wrap drapped along his back.
So relaxed and enjoying the touch
Movement work done in between bodywork. The movement work has been super as it gets him doing thinks he isn't all that comfortable with, his confidence has increased a ton with movement work. Going up and down this ramp was a big deal!
Back on the table for bodywork and more time with the wraps
Just relaxing, wraps on and getting TTouch on his back end
