Relaxing Enrichment for You & Your Dogs
One of our staff doing cool lavender towel enrichment. As you can see she is relaxed too! lol
The red cooler on the left is what we put the towels in.
We fill first with warm water. Small amount. Add 4 drops of essential lavender oil. Mix well then add cool water. Mix again and add plain white towels.
Let them first smell the towel. You can start at the neck. Use your other hand to massage. Wipe inside ears, body, belly, legs and feet. If they allow you to do feet and in between toes great!
Not only does the massage and lavender towels relax them (and you) but stimulates the coat (massage) but lavender is a great antibacterial and pest don’t like it.
In the winter use warm lavender towels.
