Did you know that a lip lick is subtle body language communication to you from your dog? This is the natural communication dogs use with one another and the more we know the better we can understand what our dogs are saying.

If perhaps you see your dog like their lips, notice the scenario happening as well, was a gap or space being closed between your dog and maybe a toddler or another animal walking by? Or did someone pet your dog, and they walked away?

We are so happy you're here and learning all of these body language changes!! Don’t forget to visit our interactive webpage where you can explore so much more about Dog Body Language! 😊

Although a dog’s brain is just one-tenth the size of a human brain, the part of the dog’s brain that is devoted to analyzing smells is forty times greater than that of a human's. A dog’s sense of smell is therefore estimated to be a hundred thousand times better than ours.

Morning and session with Stella.
Reiki goes where it's needed and this morning, to Stella's heart and brachial chakra. The heart chakra is related to good and confident feelings. The brachial chakra allows dogs to bond with their humans and also connects all the other chakra points.
Notice how she keeps me in the area when I try to move down. Reiki has it's own intelligence, but so do our dogs...they know what they need.

Let your dog stop to sniff... there is no need to pull against him. Take the few seconds for them to smell what's going on in the neighborhood and then resume your walk! Makes it a happier experience for you both!
Look at that good boy checking in when we start again!

If your dog is walking you down the street, consider a reset and start over by actually giving them more room to wander. Teach them not to pull by giving them a chance to experience leash without it.

Reliable Recall: Repetition is what makes it reliable. Practice in the house, out back, while walking the dog on leash. Don't forget to have fun! The dogs and their humans love it!
