Rattle therapy: This is a therapy we use on the ranch when we have multiple dogs that are barking or howling. The weathers changing and the coyotes are in a high active hunt and chatter. This sends all the pups into a barking/howling frenzy. We bring them all in and put them in their crates individually to start the calming process. While I may have a angry look on my face, Im truly not, Im just very serious with the rattle and motion. NO talking, NO yelling, one by one each dog settles down with the coyotes still in the background chattering. Each motion is a soothing sound, from a forward or backward roll to a soft shake motion. when the pups are all settled, I bring the therapy to a soft roll motion until the rattle is silent. The objective is to bring in a new focus and sound to grab their attention while the other disturbances are still in play to take the importance of the other noises out of focus. Rattle therapy helps with seizures as well. Allowing the mind to settle faster and relax in order to restore the oxygen into the brain. Example: if you ever encounter a rattlesnake, the only sound you hear is the rattle regardless of what else is going on. Your focus and attention went from laughing and joking to a serious focus on the rattle sound. Mostly because you are scared as crap (LOL) but thats the objective about refocusing the attention. This is the same therapy that helps with clearing the mind and stress for self healing.
