No. 2: Grooming
Although some animals genuinely detest grooming and don't find it relaxing in the least, the majority craves this one-on-one contact with their human, which feels kind of like a good petting session. Brushing or grooming a dog, cat or other furry friend is probably the best way to lower cortisol levels and reduce stress in pets and owners alike. Because coats vary in texture and length by breed, it's wise to research specific grooming needs and techniques before beginning. For example, some animals only require a good brushing once a week, whereas others are more high-maintenance. Animals with an aversion to grooming may require a little more paw-holding. To ease them into the experience, experts recommend that owners speak quietly and calmly while brushing their pet. With a little bit of practice and adjustment, most animals will run to their owner rather than for the door when the brush comes out
