“I don’t think my horse or dog will let you treat them – they don’t like being touched in certain areas.”
In my experience, most animals that are sensitive, or don’t like being touched in certain areas, are that way because they’re in pain or discomfort.
As I release tension during a treatment, the animal starts to relax and feel more comfortable, and I’m often then able to treat the areas they were guarding before. I work with each animal as an individual, so I’ll only ever do what I feel they’re happy for me to do on the day.
Sometimes I find that a shorter first treatment means I can do more adjustments on my second visit, once the animal has relaxed into it.
