Separation Anxiety
Some pets may also chew objects, pace, or display restlessness when separated from their family.
This behavior can be more noticeable in young animals or when staying in unfamiliar environments such as boarding kennels.
-
Supports a sense of safety and comfort when left alone
-
Helps reduce stress-related behaviors such as excessive barking or chewing
-
Useful for kenneling, travel, or changes in environment
Separation anxiety is a common challenge in households with loving family pets.
You may come home to an excited whirlwind of energy — spinning, jumping, or pacing. Sometimes your dog may have chewed on shoes, furniture, or other objects. Neighbors might mention frequent barking or howling while you were away. These are signs of stress, not mischief.
In nature, dogs are rarely away from their pack. Being left alone can feel unnatural and worrying for them. It’s our role as guardians to help make these times less stressful and more manageable.
TTouch Daily Ritual for Dogs and Cats
* For cats leave out the Body wrap
A daily grounding and connection practice for dogs who pull, bark, or become over-excited.
Morning Routine — Grounding & Connection (5–10 minutes)
- Arrival: Sit quietly with your dog before the walk. Breathe slowly, grounding your energy. Let your dog meet you in stillness before touch begins.
- Clouded Leopard Touch: Begin at the chest and shoulders. Use gentle circular motions, 1¼ turns, just moving the skin. Continue down the sides. Loosens the shoulders and reduces pulling.
- Ear Slides: Gently stroke from base to tip of each ear, 4–5 times. Calms and sharpens focus.
- Body Wrap (optional ): Wrap a soft bandage in a figure-eight around chest and ribs. Encourages awareness of balance and reduces lunging.
- Balanced Start to the Walk: Hold the leash lightly. If your dog pulls, pause and wait for softness
before continuing. Walk as a moving meditation of connection.
Evening Routine — Release & Reset (10 minutes)
- Full-Body Ttouch: Use Clouded Leopard and Raccoon touches in slow spirals down the body. Releases tension from the day.
- Ear Slides & Muzzle Touches: Repeat ear slides. Add small circular touches around the muzzle and jawline. Soothes vocal and nervous tension.
- Heart & Rib Circles: Place one hand over the chest or ribs and make slow, wide circles. Encourages deep relaxation.
- Stillness: Let your dog rest beside you. Rest one hand lightly on them — no movement, just presence. End with silent gratitude.
Remember: This ritual is a conversation in touch, rhythm, and trust. Keep it soft, brief, and full of presence.

The Clouded Leopard
Using the pads of the fingers lightly curved, do circles, keeping all three knuckles joints soft and moving as you make each circle.
Ear Slides
Sit beside the animal in a quiet place.
Hold the ear between your thumb (inside) and fingers (outside). Start at the base of the ear, where it joins the head. Slowly slide your hand along the ear toward the tip, using light, steady pressure. Repeat the stroke several times on each ear. Work slowly and rhythmically — the goal is relaxation, not stimulation.
Muzzle Touches
Gently rest one hand on each side of the muzzle.
Fingers along the jawline, thumbs resting lightly on top near the nose bridge. Hold softly for several breaths, allowing warmth and calm to flow through your hands. Optionally, make small circular strokes along the sides of the face. Continue until you feel the animal soften, breathe slower, or sigh.
❤Heart Circles
Place the flat pads of your fingers (not the tips) lightly on the chest area, just over the heart (left side of the chest). Move the skin in that gentle circle-and-a-quarter motion, very slowly.
Pressure should be about the weight of your hand resting naturally — not pushing. Do 2–3 circles, then pause, and maybe move your hand to a slightly different spot.
Rib Circles
Place your fingers gently on the rib cage (just behind the shoulder, or further back along the ribs). Use the same circle-and-a-quarter movement, one hand at a time.
You can also let your other hand rest lightly elsewhere on the dog (for grounding).
Follow the rhythm of your dog’s breathing — avoid forcing them to adjust to you.
