A range of techniques you can use to condition your dog to feel comfortable in a calm frame of mind

Description

For the dogs or humans that want to know other ways to help your dog relax, especially if you are not tactile and neither of you are keen on our massage techniques this module provides you a range of other relaxation conditioning techniques. We hope this has helped you learn a range of techniques to help your dog become more comfortable with being calm therefore creating an enjoyable relationship and a dog that can fit in with your lifestyle.

Remember this will take time to condition alternate emotional responses and every dog will be different, we recommend practising for at least 1-2 months before applying to real life situations.
