STEP 1: Stress
Matters
STRESS FACTS
Stressful situations are a normal part of
every dog's life.
Most dogs will experience distress in
their real life encounters.
Indirect assessments of stress chemicals,
such as cortisol, can be helpful in
determining whether a dog is stressed or
not. It can be measured through urine,
saliva or blood testing.
Stress assessments should be done at
home, as the simple visit to the
veterinarian's office can raise stress
levels significantly for a false reading.
STRESS & ITS MANAGEMENT
Diane A. Garrod, Bachelor of Science Communication, PPG Founding, Steering, Ethics, Marketing Member, CA-1, ATA Certified Instructor, Behavior Consultant/Trainer, Author Canine Emotional Detox
Dogs who repeat over-the-top behaviors such as biting, constant barking, reactivity to environments, other dogs, humans or dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), build harmful stress chemicals in their body and brain. What a dog feels internally is what causes things to happen externally, Pavlov. The Canine Emotional Detox (CED) is designed to work from the “inside”
out where chemicals have built up from stress, anxiety and tension.

STEP 3: How To Prepare for the CED and Why
The Whys and How To of the Canine Emotional
Detox - Preparation List
Diane A. Garrod, Bachelor of Science Communication, PPG Founding, Steering, Ethics, Marketing Member, CA-1, ATA Certified Instructor, Behavior Consultant/Trainer, Author Canine Emotional Detox
The information we gather from the intake form and functional
assessment guides our decision as to what CED list and Day One plan
(both based on behavior) we choose. Other considerations are taking
into account how a client learns, what is the dog's overall status at the
start of the CED, and customizing days 2 and 3 to the individual. Here
is a sample list.
Relaxers
Towel or blanket – warm from dryer (why? - tension release)
Thundershirt and/or two ace bandages 2" and 1" size
Dog shampoo in relaxing scent - chamomile, lavender
Dry bath - for dogs stressed by warm water bathing
Music - Through a dog's ear; classical; music made for dogs
Food
No kibble, offal, organs, or eggs. Why? to allow the dog's system to detox
from the inside out - a cleanse - and to see how they are processing their
food.
ONE MEAT SOURCE (i.e. chicken or turkey or halibut COOKED or RAW -
Why? these meats contain tryptophan in varying amounts a natural
relaxant).
The CED helps dogs to
get into a calm and
serene emotional state-
of-mind. The CED
prepares a dog for a
successful behavior
modification and skill's
applications program.

book coming out on this topic before
October 2014.
WHEN TO DO A CED
An effective program for dogs
with behavioral/emotional
problems such as aggression,
fear, phobias, hyperactivity,
reactivity and anxiety.

Days 2 and 3 customized to individual
Days two and three are customized, according to the right
combination clock above, but based on what is seen in Day
One. Each dog is an individual and the CED individualizes
the behavior modification process.
"HOW TO" POINTERS:
Not seeing relaxation or short duration? ADD more
consecutive mentally tiring activities in day two.
Starting to see relaxation, dog is fighting it, stick
with the clock in day two.
Day three will stick to the clock exactly with
emphasis on relaxation - as in longer periods of rest.
Day three is wind down day for both dog and client.
Deep sleep should be reached by end of day three,
72 hours, of a second CED or consecutive days
continue.
Sleep should be so deep the dog is unaware of
videotaping, taking photos and owner leaving the
room completely. Dog should wake and act as if
they don't know where they are OR lie back down.
Incorporate the CED into everyday life Once you complete the stress vacation, you will want to bring what you learn from it into your and your dog’s life. Here are ten categories that can help you stay on target.
1. Daily touch 2. Daily play 3. Undistracted moments 4. Meditation for you, music for your dog 5. Unconditional loving and giving 6. Positive energy – gratitude, appreciation 7. Improving handling skills 8. Listen to what your dog is expressing 9. Regular relaxation periods 10. Mental stimulation and problem-solving

STRESS - WHAT TO
LOOK FOR:
Yawning, blinking,
nose licking
Turning head or
body away
Sitting, pawing
Walking away
Creeping, ears back
Standing crouched
Tail tucked
Lying down, leg up
Stiffening up, on
tiptoes, stare
Growling
Snapping
Biting
WHEN calming signals in
green move into mid-range, or
orange signals they start to go
from calming to feeling
threatened, to warning, and
then to survival, growl, snap,
bite..
Short-term goal is to keep
signals in calming area. Once a
dog starts to feel safe, to trust
the process, and feel confident,
they will learn better, faster
and retain longer.
EDUCATE CLIENT
Make sure client knows what
stress looks like, how to
release it, and how to continue
with making their
environment into a stress-free
at-home sanctuary. Dog
owners who treat their dog
with respect, meeting their
needs, recognizing stress
signals have fewer behavioral
issues and at the very least,
know how to handle them.
HELPING CLIENT
UNDERSTANDING
Understand what stress is,
what it does and how to
recognize it.
Teach them to become
proficient in handling stressful
situations to a positive end.
Help client to understand how
to work with other
professionals that may be
needed like a veterinarian,
veterinarian behaviorist,
veterinary chiropractor, or
canine nutrition expert. Have
recommendations. The Final
Analysis will help the client
know the questions to ask.
The client will have a Final
Analysis, a graph and
comments sheet that compile
the patterns seen in the three-
day CED process. This
document is the golden nugget
to the CED process and
outlines how to work with the
individual they call their dog.
It is the start of a life-changing,
results-oriented behavior
modification process.
Answer common questions.
Every dog and owner is a
unique individual. Give solid
feedback, seamless in-home
help.
