In-home Workshop- Dog Meditation
Nervous dog? Build trust with gentle handling practice for easier vet & grooming visits
Service Description
A calm, hands-on workshop for dogs (and humans) who could use a little more softness, consent, and connection. In Dog Meditation, Linus guides you through a slow “body scan” with your dog: noticing their signals, honoring their boundaries, and gently building comfort with touch. This isn’t about pinning your dog or powering through handling, it’s about learning what “yes,” “no,” and “maybe” look like in your dog’s language, and creating a repeatable ritual that helps both of you settle. This workshop is especially helpful for: • Sensitive or anxious dogs • Dogs who dislike grooming, nail trims, harnessing, ear/foot handling, or vet exams • Dogs who get wiggly or mouthy when overstimulated • Humans who want a clearer, kinder way to read their dog’s stress cues What we do: • Work together to create a calm environment and invite our pups to relax with us! • Practice micro-steps of touch with breaks and choice • Build a “consent-based” handling routine you can repeat at home • Identify your dog’s early warning signals and thresholds You’ll leave with a short, doable protocol (5–10 minutes) plus tips to make everyday handling and care tasks less stressful over time. It’s a workshop, not a full behavior consult, but it’s a powerful foundation for trust and cooperative care.
