Notes:

Tia the Dog

Border collie rescue. Very nervous.  Noise literally sends her in a spin like hearing someone come, garden gate creak, and someone coming through the door.  She did not get attention. She had to do something to lose energy - spinning.  Smell and site of food across kitchen, but she did not receive it. Neglect has caused her anxiety.

Creating peaceful space.  She circles.  and keeps pacing.  James puts her o lead, and she gets excited and eventually lays down.  Then gets up and fusses both of them.  Then lies down.  Eyes open and alert.  Unsettled again, keep repeating process.  Finally eyes starting to close.  Eventually she becomes relaxed.  They don't go into a deep sleep, they crash out after all the work.  Her attention comes up and they get into the present moment again.  

Then congratulated her with his mind,and gently stroking her.

Bringing her to present. 

Level 2 giving her some command and being present.  Ask Tia to down.  Now show her she can be peaceful when she walks away as naturally as possible.  As soon as dog gets up, owner will come back again to present moment. 

Owner moves one step, dog gets interested.  Stops for presence.  Moves further away, dog present.  3 more steps away.  If her mind goes to level 4, then owner needs to respond and bring her down again. 

J asks owner to go over to her and gently congratulate her and say well done.  Stands up again.  When giving command says she can be peaceful  

Now using invisible lead - dog remains.  She settles down.  Asks owner to say well done, I'm so proud of you.

PM was quick to drop to level 2. Then moving to keeping Tia in her feeling and then move away.  She gets up, dog gets excited, then gets PM again. 

J gently interacts with her and she gets excited and asks owner to bring her to bring Tia to PM again.  Tia is now soft, J is not imp. to her, owner is imp. as Tia keeping her in site.  J strokes her and she is peaceful with it. 

Owner asks her to momentarily bring dog to PM.

Dog now in cage.  Owner approaches, dog excited.  Owner asks her to down.  Tia excited now out of cage.  Asks for down.  Owner walks away.  Tia gets up and asks Tia to down again with PM.  Repeats. 

Now outside, she's 80% more relaxed.
