In this mini episode of "Easier Movement, Happier Dogs," Mary Debono delves into the fascinating world of habits—not your usual habits like smoking or overeating, but the habits of perception.

These are the unconscious ways we notice and interpret the world around us, and they significantly impact our interactions with our dogs.

Mary explains how these perceptual habits shape our reality, often creating blind spots, and offers simple techniques to shift our focus and enhance our awareness.

By questioning and adjusting these habits, we can open up new possibilities for a more joyful and connected life with our dogs.

Can gentle movements transform your dog's life? Join me, Mary Debono, as I unravel the healing journey of Otis, a loving brown Boxer who struggled with a persistent limp and stiffness.

Discover how Otis' issues are resolved through unique hands-on work that focuses on the overall coordination of a dog's body, addressing issues at their root rather than the apparent problem area.

Through gentle, specific movements, Otis stopped limping and began to move with newfound fluidity and ease.

Otis' tale underscores the importance of looking beyond obvious symptoms to find the true cause of mobility problems. Whether you're dealing with similar issues with your dog or simply want to enhance your dog's physical well-being, I hope you tune in to hear how a holistic approach can make a world of difference for your canine companion.

Ever wondered how your thoughts and emotions might be shaping your dog's behavior? Join me as I share a personal story of a dramatic shift in a dog's demeanor that shed light on this fascinating connection.

In this episode of Easier Movement, Happier Dogs, I recount how a friend's dog loved our beach outings but suddenly mirrored her owner's dislike for the beach when her person returned home. This transformation opens our eyes to how our own feelings and perceptions can have a profound impact on our pets.

We'll explore the science behind this phenomenon, diving into the role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) and how adjusting our thoughts can create a more positive reality for both us and our dogs.

Learn how to reframe your language and thoughts to foster a healthier, more collaborative relationship with your furry friend. By viewing ourselves as partners, we can enhance our mutual well-being and create a more supportive environment.

Your feedback and engagement are crucial, so share your questions and ideas for future episodes—we're in this together!

Can you really understand what your dog is thinking just by watching their tail or ears? Discover the surprising truths behind canine body language in our latest episode, where we unravel the mysteries of tail wags, ear positions, and eye expressions.

Want to help your dog reduce the effects of aging, anxiety or arthritis? Or heal fully from an injury or surgery?

Debono Moves, a hands-on approach that uses gentle contact and movements, can help dogs heal and recover from injuries or surgery. And even reduce the effects of aging.

In this episode, I describe how Debono Moves helped dogs like Sonny (knee ligament surgery), Nicky (neck injury), Zoey (hip surgery), and Duffy (15 y/o dog with arthritis in back and hips). And even dogs with DM (degenerative myelopathy).

This gentle hands-on work can improve your dog's body awareness, reduce strain, and boost confidence.

Techniques like rhythm circles, back lifts, and ribcage slides aid in relaxation and association of touch with pleasure.

Debono Moves can be used alongside veterinary care for conditions like arthritis, degenerative myelopathy, and aging-related issues, helping dogs break out of downward spirals, improve mobility, and strengthen the bond between dog and owner.
