🎥Watch this episode-YT: The Animal Intuitive® Channel 🐾In this first episode of the Calm Pet Connection Series, I share a simple grounding exercise you can do with your dog (or any pet...including cats) to help both of you feel calmer and more connected. I personally used this technique after a stressful moment with my dog and noticed how quickly it helped regulate my nervous system — and how my dog responded. This method uses the Hand Valley Point (LI4) and focuses on nervous system regulation first, before trying to calm or correct your animal. I also share a powerful insight from my conversation with comedian Chris Distefano about how his dog Josephine was incredibly tuned into his emotional and nervous system state — even during a chaotic interview. In this episode you’ll learn: A simple grounding technique using the Hand Valley Point Why animals are so sensitive to our nervous system How regulating yourself first can improve your dog’s behavior and connection Why some “training issues” are actually nervous system patterns These techniques work with dogs, cats, horses, and other animals.
