In September I plan to offer a series of webinars on various topics. The first one will be "What is Anxiety and how can we help our animals overcome it?" This topic was chosen by students who feel that it an important issue. The webinars will begin in the second half of September. The final [...]
12/05/2018 Today Arena took off! The minute she saw me approach she came up looking expectantly. First I offered Rose Absolute to both Severino and Arena but their response was lukewarm. Then I offered Rose Otto. Once again the response to Rose Otto was very strong, and today Arena exhibited a big Flehmen response. (Unfortunately [...]
11/05/2018 Today I offered Frankincense, Rose Otto, Sandalwood and Violet Leaf to Severino. He sniffed the frankincense but soon lost interest, so perhaps his need for that oil has now been satisfied. Sandalwood received only a perfunctory response which makes sense as he is not particularly noise sensitive. On the other hand Rose and Violet [...]

Used to living in the hills they are more used to wolves than people so not very socialised. However, they seem happy in their new place and curious about what is going on around, particularly the three horses [...]
This article by John Stuart Reid from Greenmedinfo is extremely interesting and provides insights on how vocalisation affects the body and mind. This is something we can bear in mind when working with animals and may encourage us to change how we use our voice under certain circumstances. It is also worth noting how the [...]
Does your dog lick his paws incessantly? One major cause of almost obsessional licking is yeast infection. I have just been through an episode of this, and I must admit I was slow to pick up on this cause. However, once I did hone in on it I lost no time and began to explore [...]
A continuación les dejo el testimonio de una estudiante de la Argentina respecto de la gestión de un caso de epilepsia en el perrito de una cliente suya. Agradezco a Noemí que haya tomado el tiempo para compartir sus experiencias y la felicito por su perseverancia, dedicación y, sobre todo, la observación que tan útil [...]
