The Secret to Calming Your Dog Instantly: The Squeeze Method Explained

Описание: Today, we're diving into an intriguing topic: the concept of "squeeze" to calm dogs. Inspired by Temple Grandin's work in "Animals in Translation," we explore how this technique, originally used on farm animals, can be applied to dog training.

Temple Grandin discovered that cattle calmed down when squeezed by a specific mechanism. This insight led her to create a similar device for herself to manage anxiety. By applying a gentle, firm squeeze to a dog's shoulder against your leg, you can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, helping to calm the dog during stressful situations like fireworks or gunfire.

This method is particularly effective during dog training sessions, providing an alternative to traditional rewards like treats or toys. The squeeze technique helps dogs focus and reduces their excitement, allowing for better obedience and protection training. Join us as we discuss how to implement this technique and its benefits for both dogs and handlers.
