__________ Laughing Dog Calms Stressed Canines!__________
New Research Into The "Laughing Dog!"
We all know that certain sounds cause a relaxation response in humans. For each of us, it's different. Church bells chiming, birds singing outside your window, rain, the ocean, children playing. Many musical pieces have been proven to bring about a quiet meditative state, or even heightened learning states, such as the Mozart experiments.
Through a phenomenon called "sympathetic resonance," research has shown how vibrational frequencies align with the energetic patterns of the body and mind to stimulate the cerebral cortex of the brain, calm the nervous system, and relieve pain. I personally use energetic patterns of music, sound, and voice in my daily Paraliminal meditations from Learning Strategies.
As it turns out, the human species is not the sole benefactor of this amazing phenomenon.
Researchers at an animal protection service in Washington state reported that the "doggie laugh" has a calming and soothing effect on other dogs. The vocalization, longer than a typical pant sound, is produced when dogs play together, according to animal behaviorist Patricia Simonet.
When a recording of the "doggie laugh" was played over the loudspeaker in a kennel shelter, the barking dogs turned quiet within a minute and remained calm, regardless of their breed. Apparently it worked every time.
Read more about this emerging research that may go a long way toward helping stressed dogs relax naturally! You can even purchase a CD of dog laughter to use in your own home or kennel. Personally, I think we'll be hearing a lot more about this research and its applications in the future. Might this be a useful tool in relieving dog aggression? I guess we'll see.
