How to Read Your Dog

What is your dog trying to tell you? Dogs have a language of their own that allows them to communicate their emotions and their intentions to others around them. Although dogs do use sounds and signals, much of the information that they send is through their body language.

Our pets suffer the same stresses we do such as city bustle and loss of the nature connection, changes of home, diet or routine, separation anxiety for young animals and their mothers as well as dogs and their owners, boredom, lack of exercise and relationships.

These may present as:

• Obsessive behaviours
• Jealousy & over protectiveness
• Aggressiveness
• Bullying
• Excessive shyness & submissive behaviours
• Learning difficulties
• Destructive behaviour
• Attention seeking
• Nipping, excessive barking/yapping
• Inappropriate urinating
• Rebelliousness, etc.

Animals are sensitive and often take on the energy of those around them. It can be frustrating when you can find no physical explanation for your pet’s change in behaviour. One of the advantages of kinesiology is its ability to access what is happening on an emotional level as well as physical and is a wonderful way to bridge the communication gap between you and your pet.

Emotional imbalances may present as prolonged sadness, loss or gain in appetite, or general loss of interest in everything and many other symptoms. Holistic animal balancing uses Kinesiology to help your pet return to a state of physical and emotional balance. This unique natural therapy can help resolve a host of behavioural issues, emotional imbalances, anxiety, travel sickness and aid in the recovery from operations, shock or trauma. It can be beneficial in reducing pain, allergic responses and managing various health conditions, as well as being a useful tool to identify other stressors in your pet’s life or routine that would otherwise remain undetected.
