Two years ago I wrote about Patch, the Husky/Blue Heeler, who whined all the time. Melissa Madsen, his person, wanted to take him off his medication for dog anxiety. They came to Intro to Tellington TTouch® with Your Dog class in March 2009. On Patch’s information sheet, Melissa said he had dog separation anxiety; fear of loud noises, vet visits, slippery surfaces, and many other objects. She added “We don’t want him back on meds but the excessive whining is hard to deal with. He has a ton of fears and HATES black poodles.”

Melissa gave Patch Rescue Remedy® just to get him to the class. During the class, he wore a TTouch® body warp and Melissa did various TTouches® to him. When they went for lunch, she said he was the quietest he had ever been in a car and kept checking to see he was in the car!

Now fast forward to March 2011. Melissa sent me this update. “Hey, update on Patch. It’s been so long! I had to tell you some things, first in the fall, he got his CGC (Canine Good Citizenship). He was able to be 100% anxiety free when I left him with a stranger. Then, we just went on a long road trip and back and not a sound from him. … Thanks again for all your tips!”

TTouch makes lasting changes to animals and helps them with their fears and anxiety.  The previously whining dog is now quiet and calm. Also one of Patch’s best friends is a black poodle!
