CULTIVATING CALMNESS

We teach our dogs all sorts of things, but maybe don’t realise that teaching “calm” is also an important behaviour that has so many positive applications for both us and our dogs.

“Calm” can be defined as the absence of agitation or excitement; a feeling of tranquility; serenity and peace. These feelings are so often lacking in both our lives and that of our dogs.

Besides teaching dogs to settle on a mat or in another place or capturing and rewarding calm behaviour, here are some other ways to promote calmness.

Scenting or sniffing is a really effective and simple way to promote relaxation. It lowers the pulse rate and creates feelings of wellbeing.

Chewing is another powerful relaxation tool. Dogs use the chewing to relieve stress, frustration or anxiety. Chewing has a calming effect on the adrenal-pituitary axis in the brain which triggers the release of endorphins. It’s like self-medication for stress or anxiety.

Relaxing music that is specifically made for dogs can also work well, especially with dogs that get over excited in a car or have storm or firework fear.

When playing an exciting, high-energy game with your dog, take frequent breaks before starting up again to help your dog wind down and become calmer.

Aromatherapy, ear or other types of massage are other ways to help create calmness.

Cortisol holidays are also really important after a stressful event to prevent trigger stacking and allow cortisol levels to return to normal.

Conventional wisdom says that the ability to remain calm is a character trait that most of us lack, but Neuroscience teaches us that remaining calm under pressure is not an inborn trait, but a skill that needs to be learnt, practiced and managed and this applies to our dogs as well.

LETTING GO OF THE LABEL
People love to label things - from containers to personality types, physical or mental differences and everything in between.

Why do we like labels so much? Labels are comforting, they help us to feel more secure.

Labels allow us to close that particular “box”, because it now has a label and we no longer have to think about it or be concerned about it.

It’s been judged, identified, labelled and we can now move on, confident in the belief that there’s nothing more to be done.

We may also be very good at labelling dogs. My dog is stubborn, aggressive, lazy, shy, timid, greedy, jealous, untrainable…. It’s comforting for us to assign a label because it takes the pressure off trying to find out why they behave that way because we might believe that it’s just the way they are.

If we remove the label and take note of the behaviour in context and the circumstances or environment it’s happening in, we may realise that our dogs need our help to cope, not our labels.

Look into what can be done to improve or change that behaviour if it's something you’d like to change.

Sometimes a label does fits, it’s just the way it is and we need to accept that, but sometimes labels hide the need to look beneath the surface and discover what the real cause of that behaviour is.

Does anyone ever wonder why I help rescues and board dogs here with my family at Family Ties Dog Boarding and Rescue ? POOR LES another dog of neglect and hoarding too many dogs. Les is another special case, scared, timid, skin and bones.....as of today when he sees me he wags his little nub lol and im able to pet him all over. He even holds his bowl in his mouth when he is tells me he is hungry.... slow process with dogs of neglect case. I sit with him everyday and we talk and listen to music CRAZY HUH?! well he likes it and thats all that matters. The service I provide here at my BOARDING HOME (not a commercial over populated facility)...all dogs are treated like family and with love and respect. We only take in a small number of dogs that rescues entrust to us to give back feedback on behaviors and we also make appts and transport to the vet. and the hardest task here at Family Ties Dog Boarding and Rescue is loading them to transport to their new families! If I can be of service or if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 832-439-7057 Thank you Have a blessed day!

Eddie was found in the crate in his own f***s, timid scared, skin and bones, hardly any hair and would not trust anyone. I worked with him, fed him and loved him. He is absolutely gorgeous and is still a little timid towards others but every day he get up and goes out and runs back in and jumps up to hug me with his head buried next to my heart. AND YES I ADOPTED HIM! I have fostered failed with 2 others lol but I love them.
