DRUMMERS HOWL (DH)

How: Tap the tissue with cupped hands or finger tips. Dog Breathe and use a rhythm.

Used For: Relaxation, stimulation by you creating an ‘internal’ vibration.

Precautions: Over bony areas, injured or bruised areas, spine. Get ANIMAL PERMISSION…

Thoracic regions around rib areas should sound almost hollow. The shape of your hand will create a thump or a light slapping sound. The pet will tell you how to hold your hands.

LISTEN.

How: Using the palm of the hands, or fingers to give gentle pulsing squeezes to tissue. Used For: Muscular areas, postural imbalance. (Minimal use)
