Your Animal’s Body is Talking—Are You Listening?

What if a simple, mindful touch could improve your dog’s or horse’s movement, comfort, and even emotional well-being? In this episode, Mary Debono shares how to use your hands and your heart to do a gentle “scan”—a profoundly simple practice that awakens awareness, fosters mobility, and strengthens your bond.

You’ll learn:

• Why your hands act like a kinesthetic mirror for your animal’s body
• How curiosity (not correction) supports nervous system change
• What to feel for: structure, temperature, response, symmetry
• Why these moments of shared awareness build trust and connection
• How CLTMs (special receptors) create calm and deepen the bond
• When a quiet pause may be the most powerful part of your session

Whether you're working with a horse, dog, or cat, this episode will show you how slowing down and tuning in can help your animal move better—and feel better—without needing to “fix” them.
