Pets bring us so much joy. Even the ornery ones are responding to both the person working with them but also to past experiences and traumas. I “listen” to what my little friends are telling me. The next time Santos came in he let me know he DID NOT WANT TO BE IN THE SLING. I haven’t used it for him since. I adore that little man!
I can feel their anxiety and their calmness with my hands so I believe they feel the same from me. Sometimes it’s nice to stop working on them and just pet them for a few minutes. They really respond when you tell them “wow look how handsome you are” or “Wow, you’re being so brave.”
I bought it from Etsy. I had to re-do the rings that it hangs from. They were not substantial enough to hang. I actually bought 2 slings, 1 small and 1 medium. They came separately from two different makers. They were exactly the same size. The “small” one was way too stretchy of fabric. It never worked out. This one has been awesome and adapts well to different sized dogs.
No I would not use a sling for a cat as they are able to twist around too much. Even with dogs that start swimming in mid-air or struggling a lot, you will need someone to hold them and stabilize them. Aliso I DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR OVERWEIGHT DOGS. I think it impairs their ability to breath to have their weight supported on their chest.
I love how gentle you are and you want it to be a nice experience for the pup!

Lovely video, Thank You very much 😊
You’re so good with them.❤
Great idea.
Would you share the name of the sling and where you bought it?
