Dogs Have Issues Too
April 29 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
$30.00Stress Reduction Techniques for Humans and Their Animals with Jane Miller
This webinar presentation will be a very brief overview/introduction to helping dogs cope with stress. Jane Miller will provide several stress reduction/relaxation techniques and monitoring methods. This is an elementary introduction to stress reduction/relaxation techniques covering the definition of stress, eustress, and distress. Due to time constraints, we will not focus on the role of the brain.
The stress reduction techniques discussed include breathing, acupressure points, TTouch, canine massotherapy, reiki, meditation, and biofeedback. The monitoring methods of stress will be addressed include stress signs/body language, cortisol levels from saliva, urine, and hair, heart rate and variable heart rates, breathing rates, pulse, vagal tone, biofeedback, and MRIs, which are costly and invasive and may cause stress levels to increase by the testing itself.
