Rest is essential for dogs and massage is a great way to promote it!
Several reasons to ensure your dog is getting plenty of rest:
1 Physical Recovery: Like humans, dogs need rest to recover from physical activity. Sleep helps repair muscles, tissues, and strengthens their immune system.
2 Mental Health: Resting allows dogs to recharge mentally. A lack of sleep can lead to stress, anxiety, and behavioral issues.
3 Energy Conservation: Dogs are naturally energetic, but also need downtime to conserve energy for play and exercise. Adequate rest helps them maintain a healthy energy balance.
4 Growth and Development: Puppies, in particular, require more sleep for proper growth and brain development. Sleep supports their physical and cognitive development.
5 Health Maintenance: Consistent rest contributes to overall health, helping to prevent obesity and other health issues related to exhaustion or overactivity.
6 Behavior and Training: Well-rested dogs tend to be more focused and responsive to training. Lack of rest can lead to irritability and decreased willingness to learn.
7 Quality of Life: Ultimately, rest contributes to a dog’s overall quality of life, leading to happier and more content pets.
Ensuring your dog has a comfortable and quiet space for rest can help promote their well-being.

I love taking videos of my dogs while we are out to analyze their gait and movement and also their behavior. I remember taking this video and thinking “Sheesh Em, that was a little rough.” But when I got home and watched it, I realized I should probably give Cicely (really both of them) a once over. Cic was a little tight and sore in her neck and shoulders but overall seems to be doing fine after that blow.
I’d love to hear what my dog training peeps think about this….was Em being a bully? It kind of looked as if Cicely started to turn as Emily was trying to pass her but I can’t help but wonder if it was intentional….

I really had to earn Carrot’s trust. She wouldn’t have done this exercise a few months ago. I worked hard and now she works hard for me ❤️
