DOG - ABUSED, AFRAID & EASILY SPOOKED

I have had great success with the oils and animals. My heart goes out to that your little terrier. If he were mine, I would work with Trauma Life near his nose. I would also use Gentle Baby in my hand and put his back paws into my oil hand while holding him. I would alternate diffusing Lavender and Peace and Calming near him for days or weeks.

I would play, and always have him start in an upper position - higher - on a bed and I kneel on the floor repeating many patterns that are always safe for him.

Sometimes I just put my head down close to them and hum or sing, or be still, or just look at them or talk to them in my mind, telling them how good they are, how special they are, and how happy I am to have them join us in our house.

I also make his bed area smell good - with Lavender. I find animals more resistant to oils with citrus in them. When they have a tummy ache or appear lethargic, I have to sneak up with the Di-tone, already in my hand because they don't like it on their back paws, but they are obviously better within 1/2 hour. Hope this helps. Christine
