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. Now her <strong>daughter’s cat is very clingy</strong>.</p> <p>Yes, <strong>our best friends</strong> – cats, dog, rabbits, horses, and any pets are <strong>affected by changes</strong>.<br /> <span id="more-2300"></span></p> <p><strong>What changes</strong> are you, your family, and your pet <strong>facing</strong>?</p> <ul> <li><strong>New school schedules</strong> and added activities like sports.</li> <li>A dog/cat’s best friend <strong>going to college</strong> or moving for a new job.</li> <li><strong>Work schedule</strong> changing.</li> <li><strong>New member</strong> in the family (human or animal).</li> <li><strong>Illness or death</strong> of a family member or friend (human or animal).</li> <li><strong>House</strong> for sale or sold.</li> <li><strong>Change in employment, moving, finances</strong>, etc.</li> <li>The list goes on…</li> </ul> <p>Everyone including animals is affected by change. Some take it in stride and others have a very low tolerance for change.</p> <p>Although these changes may not affect you, the <strong>changes may be confusing your pet</strong>.</p> <p>I use this technique daily with Hobbes and it really helps. 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. For example, “Hobbes, I am going to a meeting and will be back after dinner.”</li> <li><strong>Leave</strong> the house <strong>calmly</strong>. 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. Give her slow, gentle strokes.</li> <li>Remember<strong> leaving and coming home are quiet events</strong>.</li> </ul> <p>One client’s dog, Barry White,<strong> was frantic and destructive</strong> after she left.

He and his wife realized they could not keep her, they asked their daughter, Caree, to please save this dog. As Caree drove back to the Twin Cities with Coco, she asked me to tell Coco (in an <a title="Animal Communication Services" href="https://animalbridges.com/animal-communication/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">animal communication</a> session), the sunburned and extremely thin Chihuahua, that she had a new forever home. Caree described Coco as very sunburn, thin, frightened Chihuahua mix.</p> <p>Coco and I talked. She started our conversation with “It is a very busy week. First I was in the road, then I was picked up by a very nice gentleman, and now I’m in a car again with Caree. This is very tiring.” She continued about her life in a puppy mill, commented on her puppy mill name “Tiny. What a dumb name!” and was excited to met Caree’s big dog. “I want to stay with Caree in a forever home. I hope she can keep me. I don’t want to go out on the street again.”</p> <p>A few months after adopting Coco, Caree asked me to help with her dog’s anxiety (loud noises, thunderstorms, vet visits, and nail clipping), and separation anxiety.<br /> <span id="more-415"></span><br /> When I walked in to Caree’s house, Coco barked continuously. Her tail was so tight between her legs, I could not see it. She was nervous to let me touch her. After a few minutes, she let me touch her back and then her ears. As she sat in her dog bed, I gently used <a title="Tellington TTouch® Services" href="https://animalbridges.com/animal-communication/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TTouch® touches</a> on her body and then her face. Coco started to relax her very tense body. Slowly I was able to approach her tail that was glued to her leg and underside. As I slowly worked with the tail, Coco relaxed and let her tail uncoil from her body. Caree was shocked to see a beautiful brown diamond on Coco’s tail! Previously Coco’s tail was always under her body. Coco took self-appointed breaks by walking away and then come back to me. She started bumping my hand as if to ask for more.</p> <p>Since we developed a trust, I also decided to use<a title="Healing Touch for Animal Services" href="https://animalbridges.com/healing-touch-for-animals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Healing Touch for Animals®</a> (HTA) on Coco. All of her charkas were closed. Using a beautiful HTA technique, I energetically gave her unconditional love and told her she was very safe in her forever home. Also I asked her to change her behavior and to only bark once when people came to the door. Coco relaxed and her eyes softened even more. When I check her charkas again, they were open.</p> <p>We gave Coco a break as I taught Caree the various TTouches and how to use <a title="Bach Flower Services" href="https://animalbridges.com/resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bach Rescue® Remedy for Pets</a>. Suddenly Coco jumped up and pranced out of the room with her tail up high and continued to prance around the house. We smiled as Coco showed her tail for the first time!</p> <p>Now a month later after using the integrated services session, Caree said Coco is much calmer and quieter. They continue with TTouches® with Coco and especially on her tail. They occasionally use Pet Rescue® Remedy when Coco has a stressful situation. Life is good and they are all thankful!</p> <p>The post <a href="https://animalbridges.com/frightened-abandoned-dogs-life-improved-with-ttouch-and-healing-touch-for-animals/">Frightened Abandoned Dog’s Life Improved with TTouch® and Healing Touch for Animals®</a> appeared first on <a href="https://animalbridges.com">Prescott, AZ Animal Communicator | Animal & People Bridges</a>.</p> <div class='yarpp yarpp-related yarpp-related-rss yarpp-template-list'> <!-- YARPP List --> <h3>Related posts:</h3><ol> <li><a href="https://animalbridges.com/senior-dogs-mobility-improved-with-healing-touch-for-animals/" rel="bookmark" title="Senior Dog’s Mobility Improved with Healing Touch for Animals®">Senior Dog’s Mobility Improved with Healing Touch for Animals®</a></li> <li><a href="https://animalbridges.com/minneapolis-miniature-schnauzer-rescue-and-ttouch/" rel="bookmark" title="Minneapolis Miniature Schnauzer Rescue and TTouch®">Minneapolis Miniature Schnauzer Rescue and TTouch®</a></li> <li><a href="https://animalbridges.com/dogs-surgery-recovery/" rel="bookmark" title="Dog’s Surgery Recovery Aided with Healing Touch For Animals®">Dog’s Surgery Recovery Aided with Healing Touch For Animals®</a></li> </ol> </div> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">415</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
