SERVICES - Dog Relaxation

Paws N Relax

Our dog relaxation classes use different canine massage and touching techniques including T-Touch while listening to specially rendered classical music to teach dogs what it feels like to be calm and relaxed. This class is a 4 week class where each class is 1 hour long and is focused on teaching dogs the Be Still command (Standing and Lying Down) as well as 7 most common T-Touch and breathing exercises to teach you how to become one with your dog!

Why Teach Your Dog to Relax?

  • Dogs who are calm are less distracted and/or reactive in general

  • Practicing relaxation techniques increases brain chemicals that are linked to brain development, cognition, learning and memory.

  • Calm touching opens up unused neural pathways to the brain to associate relaxed feeling that is triggered by touch.

  • Relieves tension and allows our dogs to have more body awareness

  • Teaches our dog that it is a “good thing” when humans touch them, even in NO GO areas
