Biofeedback is an excellent complement to Dr Overall’s Protocol for Relaxation. I found it really helped my dog to understand that when we did RP, I was rewarding her for being relaxed – not just staying on the mat. To do this exercise, you begin with your dog on her mat. I use the cue “settle” for this exercise. Begin to calmly mark and reward your dog for signs that they are relaxing. For my dog, I look for still feet, still tail, rolling over onto one hip, blinking/soft eyes and tucking one front leg under her body. If you’re not sure what your dog’s signs of relaxation are, watch her when he is just chillin’ and you’ll get a good idea of what to look for. With practice, your dog will be able to quickly relax on her mat. You can then take the mat to classes or trials. I find it invaluable for when other dogs get too close to our set up. If Lola reacts to their close proximity, I can ask her to settle on her mat. This helps her to relax instead of react. This exercise can be found in the book, Controlled Unleashed.
