Sharing a peaceful and trusting approach to helping animals with their behaviour issues
(1)
I love doing these sessions - its amazing working with people and their animals on this level and seeing the changes in just one session! It just the loveliest way to work with animals that are anxious or aggressive, going at their pace and helping them understand life doesnt have to be this way, they can come through this.

Cosmo came for some help with dog reactiveness- he gets bothered by dogs and mum gets a bit nervous. He’s been attacked by off leash dogs a couple of times so he has every reason to get nervous of dogs.
I talked mum through a bunch of things to do when there are other dogs around either on or off lead, and we also practiced lead skills to help Cosmo feel supported out on the walk -plus getting him neutral on lead.
It was a big session and when they were ready I brought out Maddie and mum quickly implemented the new approach….and gorgeous Cosmo realised he could be calm…so he sat down and stopped watching Maddie, he was so relaxed he lay down. Mum was supporting him in a way that made sense to Cosmo (vs tricks and treats)
Great session 💜

Well that was so much fun helping the dogs with ConTact C.A.R.E this morning.
The dogs loved it, it’s such an interesting experience for them and all of the dogs walked out smiling.
Thank you to their owners for going the extra mile to have their pups feeling good inside and out 🙏🥰🙏

Met Doug today, from Australia, online. We got started on the Trust Technique to help them with his anxiety. He’s been very anxious for a long time so lots to do here. They’ve done loads of previous training to help him come this far - and now we are going to change a few things and get Doug feeling braver and more confident in life. Let’s go !!

Beautiful pup Clay came for his first ConTact C.A.R.E session today with me as he has been looking sore in a couple of spots. He’s been to vet and has the all clear but he keeps showing his foster family that he has a sore body and jaw.
He’s was very brave to let me put my hands on him to start with… then he couldn’t get enough! It was a big session for him and he loved it.
He’s available for adoption for some lucky family through canine rescue , he’s stunning inside and out 🥰 if I didn’t have eight !!

Just a big fat thank you to all the people who pass on my name and share my posts.
It’s great to get all the recommendations - and to help more people and their fur family.
I really appreciate you, the animals I get to meet are pretty thankful too.
My little business grows, and I’m super busy with new clients because of your recommendations- thank you 💜

Big big big session yesterday with Leo and Daisy. Leo’s mum walked Leo on lead 🙌 it was 3 steps and it was such a moment.
I worked with Leo first showing him where calm is on lead - he is so scared. I told him about junior (another petrified dog I worked with that couldn’t wear a collar and lead cause he thought he would die) and others.
He still didn’t believe … but we kept showing him how to be calm….and he tried ! We did a few steps, we did a few circles, he did so well….then didn’t….then did. 💜 we finished his session 3 with mum having a go. She gently guided him on lead 3 steps towards the door and back 3 steps to his safe chair. He did it ! Everyone was smiling through happy tears. There’s more to do here but we are well on the road to having Leo believe he can go on lead, and he isn’t going to die.
Next I helped both dogs with contact C.A.R.E body treatment - which they both immediately fell asleep!
Then it was Daisys turn - so we popped outside to add more to Daisys no more ‘pulling like a little tank engine’. She is a completely different dog on lead already - dads been working hard to encourage Daisy and it’s so great to see her soft loose lead and calm walking on one week in. I added some more to the conversation so dad can help her with her reactivity….it will be her gamechanger 💜
so we are two weeks into this and the dogs are enjoying the new habits from mum and dad, and mum and dad are loving their ‘new’ dogs.

Tennessee gets all in knots barking and jumping and leaping about when his mums are focussing on their baby.
So yesterday we started on the work for showing him how to be calm when bubs is around.
He did really well and it will be interesting to see how quickly everyone gets this.
Good job on week one….week two is working on real life situations - and this is a big one for this gorgeous boy.

We will be back for the next one ! Happy clients yesterday after our herd bathing afternoon.
We started with a refreshing cleansing moment in the river then breathed in the ponies. Singing bells, tuning forks and quiet meditation with the sound of the river in the background….what a special way to enjoy our selves.
