In TBTE ℠ , relaxation protocols are a huge part of our behavioral work. As with people, once you can relax your brain and calm down you start to view the things around you differently – and the things that bothered you when you were anxious or upset will bother you less or not at all when relaxed.
One part of what we call our Relaxation Triad ℠ is the Behavioral Down (BD) ℠ . The BD teaches the dog to relax on its own – it’s a amazing tool and a powerful part of our process. Try this on your own dog and feel free to share the document in its entirety.
