The dog is a living being that can present tensions and moments of stress. There are several ways to help your pet relax and unwind. Soft and natural, relaxation is a relaxing moment to share with your dog.
A nice walk with your dog
This is probably the easiest way to relax your dog and you at the same time!
Our dogs also need to spend time wandering around, walking aimlessly in a place rich in smells and safe for them. Sometimes dogs that are lucky enough to benefit from a garden never get out of it. A stroll in the nearby wood or in a park can be a good relaxation.
Classical music: a natural relaxer
It is well known for humans, music softens manners and spirits, but it is also the case for our dog friends. The RSPCA, the equivalent of the SPA in the US, tested music therapy for anxious and frightened dogs: 92% were more relaxed. It is a gentle way to soothe your animal and you too at the same time!
What if you massaged your dog?
Massage is not good and pleasant only for humans. It is also for the dog. Taking 20 minutes every day to pamper and massage your dog can be very beneficial. This will help him relax his muscles and his mind, but it is also a good opportunity to spend time with your dog and to exchange a moment of complicity and love. Experts, after veterinary advice, can even start using acupressure (a massage technique using acupuncture points).
