Bostoberfest!

Well we sure did have some fun on Saturday out at SuperDog Central in Bowmanville. The Boston Terrier Rescue threw their annual fund raiser and all round fun day. All Creatures Tellington TTouch was asked to attend and we had a great time watching around 80 Boston Terriers running around and playing and showing off just how much energy that they actually can have.

Of course there were a few other breeds there, namely two Pugs. Bless them. I'm sure they felt like they had walked into a bar in the wrong part of town. They were actually very welcomed by both two and four leggeds.

Wraps using Tensor or Ace bandages is a common TTouch tool. It helps to bring an animal a sense of body awareness that can have some pretty amazing results. Was very pleased that I was allowed to put some TTouch Wraps on two dogs there. One was having issues with being over stimulated from all the noise and action and it just overwhelmed her. The wrap helped to keep her from staying in fifth gear. She still had a few issues but was able to access her coping skills and reduced her snapping at other dogs.

The other dog was one of the Pugs. Poor guy was just a shy fella who wanted to go home. Too much chaos. A wrap helped him find his self confidence and allowed him to be able to interact with others instead of just hiding behind his human waiting to be able to get out of Dodge.

One of the reasons I love this work so much is that wonderful, magical moment when you see an animal start to think and process a situation instead of just going internal and having a melt down. Kudos to their humans for seeking out some options for their furkids and for being able to see the huge changes that a Wrap brought to their dogs.

Thanks to everyone who came by and had a chat and special thanks to Kelly who invited me to participate.
