Jitzu started sleeping better, transitioned to sleeping with Rachael’s daughter instead of scratching at Rachael’s door. His shedding decreased, he stopped humping the elderly dog, and he remained calm even when another dog disrupted their routine at home or in the park. His appetite improved, and for the first time, he was motivated by food rather than just seeking attention.

 

Testimonial:

Berenice has been working with my 8 years old Dalmatian for a few weeks, and I have seen great improvement in my dog's behavior!

Jitsu has always been a highly anxious dog. He has major separation anxiety, and literally follows me everywhere. He is a nervous, highly strung pooch. He has suffered several health ailments, with no clear indication of where these problems stem from. It is my belief that it is Jitsu's anxiety which is causing him to suffer other physical health conditions.

I began to notice a difference in several areas of Jitsu's behavior and health status after the second session that Berenice conducted with him. He is less attached to me, and has started to sleep in my daughter's room instead. He is not whining constantly, like he has always done. His shedding problems are notably improved. And he has become more food motivated (he was previously only motivated by attention from myself). He appears to be a more relaxed and calm dog.

I am hoping to continue these Neuroptimal sessions with Jitsu. I do believe they are having a positive impact on him and improving his quality of life.

Jitsu’s Progress with NeurOptimal ®

First Session: Jitsu was restless and unable to stay still, so we used a licking pad to help him settle a bit beside his owner, he could not even sit.

Following Weeks: Each session, he became calmer. By the fourth session, Rachael left to go to the bathroom before starting the session, Jitzu, lay down beside me on his bed, looking at me as if to say, “I’m ready.” Previously, he would have followed Rachael everywhere, even to the bathroom. This time, he stayed put, and we completed the session without treats or a licking pad. He relaxed deeply, releasing tension, and at the end, he rested his head on Rachael before falling asleep.

From Rachael’s report: After the first week, Jitsu started sleeping better and even chose to sleep with her daughter a few nights—something he had never done before. Over time, he fully transitioned to sleeping in her daughter’s room and stopped scratching at Rachael’s door. His shedding reduced to a normal level, and he became calmer with the elderly dog in the house, no longer humping him. He also remained relaxed when Rachael was petsitting another dog that disrupted their routine. His appetite improved, and for the first time, he was motivated by food rather than just seeking attention.
