About Shelley
Shelley Holds a level 3 Diploma in Mindfulness for People with their Animals and is a qualified Trust Technique Practitioner.
How Shelley works
She uses a mindfulness technique called Trust Technique that creates a completely relaxed environment allowing your rescue dog to relax and express themselves through their behaviours in a safe way. She works in a way that taps into their parasympathetic nervous system and allows them to release trauma. In this peaceful state, Shelley connects intuitively with your dog and as she observes their responses, she holds space for them to release unpeace about their past.
Anxiety and reactivity levels are massively reduced for them and they get a chance to re condition their brain for Trust rather than mere survival. The technique allows you and your rescue dog to develop a trusting relationship where confidence grows on both sides. Your dog will begin to feel safe and truly listen to your requests. This technique has an accumulative effect & brings about a lasting change, allowing your dog to let go of old fears & habits & create new behaviours from a place of confidence & self regulation.
How Shelley has worked with rescue dogs to bring peace of mind and develop a trusting connection with their human
Zsa Zsa is a galga hunting dog who came from a kill pen in Spain and arrived in a very skinny state. Her legs were folded in an awkward way and she was very anxious. After the initial session, she was able to stretch out and fully relax, beginning to release old trauma.
We see her progression through to learning how to Trust humans once more and begin to thrive with her wonderful new human, rather than just survive.
What To Expect On The Day:
The Consultation is in 2 sessions approx one week apart. Each session lasts approximately an hour and a half.
In the first session, Shelley will:
- Assess the environment to check that it is safe and conducive for the successful use of the Trust Technique® and if it is;
- Demonstrate The Trust Technique® with your animal.
- Discuss the impact the technique has had on your animal.
- Teach you how to use the technique.
- Observe you conducting the Trust Technique® with your animal, providing you with feedback and support.
- Leave you with some exercises to practice before the next session.
The follow up visit will be approximately one week later and is included in the price.
During this session, Shelley will:
- Answer any questions & discuss any changes in behaviour or wellbeing of your animal.
- Work with your animal.
- Review your use of the Technique so you feel confident using this method..
By now you will be recognising the benefits of this way of teaching your animal, you will have learned how to be there for them, as they begin to self regulate their behaviours in a positive & cooperative way. You will be starting to fully enjoy your time together, rather than trying to control unwanted & stressful behaviours.
If more input is required, Shelley will then recommend an individual programme of one to one sessions, tailor made to suit you and your animal.
These sessions may take place either at their home or out and about on dog walks or rides etc. wherever most needed.
If your premises is too far away Shelley also specialises in online consultations. Check out my pricing page for more details or get in touch.
