He was asking “Where Are They?”</p> <p>Hobbes stopped looking out the window and sat with me. Then he slept with me until 6 AM. This was a big shift in his behavior. <strong>He usually pouts</strong>.</p> <p>Today a friend said her <strong>only child left for college</strong> last week.

Many clients use it too.</p> <p><strong>When you are ready</strong> to leave for any reason, be <strong>very calm</strong> and <strong>not emotional</strong>. Have your jacket on, and stuff <strong>ready to</strong> pick up as you <strong>walk out the door</strong>.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Have a treat</strong> or special toy ready to give him. If it is really a great treat, he will enjoy it as you slowly leave.</li> <li>Remember to <strong>exhale</strong>.</li> <li><strong>Tell her</strong> where you are going and when you will be back.

If you are excited and stressed, your dog will probably be upset too.</li> <li><strong>When you return</strong>, quietly enter the house. Put your stuff down. After a minute or two of ignoring her, say “Hi, I am home” and give her a low-key greeting.

You can easily help them and yourself by taking a few minutes to sit quietly with them and enjoy the moment. Cats and dog love being told how much you love them. Share with them by talking aloud or in your mind how their routines may change. Here are Tips to Reduce Stress for Your Pet During The Holidays:</h2> <ul> <li>If someone is <strong>coming to visit</strong>, explain who is coming, when, and how long they will visit. This is important for a shy dog.</li> <li>If you are <strong>going on a trip</strong>, tell your cat and dog why they will see suitcases. Tell them when you are leaving and when you will be back – they understand time. Tell them what they are going to their favorite vacation lodging and will have a great time. <strong>Remind them you will be back!</strong> This is important for a dog with separation anxiety.</li> <li>If you are <strong>having a party</strong>, tell them about the party and who will come. Give them a job – maybe have your dog greet people and your cat stay in her favorite room to rest.</li> <li>If you<strong> have a Christmas tree</strong>, please explain to your dog and cat this is a special tree. (Our first male dog was confused about a tree in the house – no damage done.) Their job is to watch the tree and all the lights on the tree. Also you may give them the gifts they can open!</li> </ul> <p>Now sit back and enjoy the holidays.

Melissa Madsen, his person, wanted to take him off his medication for dog anxiety. They came to Intro to <a title="Tellington TTouch® Services" href="https://animalbridges.com/animal-behavior-issues-arizona/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tellington TTouch®</a> 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.”</p> <p>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!</p> <p>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!”</p> <p>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!</p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1"><span class="s2">Does your pet <b>have pain or act scared</b> sometimes?</span></li> <li class="li1"><span class="s2">Ever wish you could <b>tell her something</b> she would understand?</span></li> <li class="li1"><span class="s2">Wish you <b>knew what he was thinking</b>?</span></li> </ul> <p class="p3"><span class="s2">Every people/pet team has unique needs.
