Our experienced instructors use gentle touches based on circular movements, slides, and lifts to increase awareness through neurological sensation and to reduce stress and relax tension held in the body. This gentle touch activates the nervous system and stimulates cell function, thereby allowing change. The goal is to achieve balance; when you can balance the body physically you can balance it mentally and emotionally. The touch method also uses non-habitual movements to activate the unused neurological pathways to the brain. By stimulating different parts of the brain we teach the animal to think and realize it has a choice of behavior. This approach turns reluctant or uncooperative animals into willing partners and guides the animal through an experience of self-discovery and self-confidence in previously frightening or intimidating situations.
