Re: 2/17 Webber AMBG 78 OTJ Trial Day 8
Hooray for day 8
Well, Pedro has given Webber’s poop issue (PI) a great deal of thought and wants to pass on some of his secrets to a good poop. Now he doesn’t have a lot of Webber’s background info to go on – but he feels these techniques can be successful in most cases.
First, maybe Webber has FOP (Fear of Pooping).
So first thing is to have your PC (Pooping Coach - that would be you Paige) set the “stage”. You need just the right ambiance for your litter room and litter box (LB). Soft lights, no distractions (like your buddy jumping on you at just the wrong moment or the drooler panting away next to you hoping for a fresh tootsie roll), just the right size box, and the “receiving” materials must be just right for your toes. (Pedro likes lots of depth). Don’t expect your coach to know these things – you need to honest and really talk this through.
Second, Pedro "urges" visualization techniques for Webber. While lying on his back,find his center, deep, slow breathing and focus on a time he had a really stellar LB experience. (Pedro use to say “be the poop” but had some unfortunate incidents when the poop stayed with him as he left the LB – very embarrassing and messy. He no longer advocates this technique). As the feeling moves him – glide on over to the LB. Next, work it baby. Really dig around and make big craters in the LB, try every possible spot, fill them in and dig some more until just the right one is ready. This can take some time so don't rush. Preparing the base is important and also helps to move things along.
Lastly and here is where you need to really be open with your PC. Get the right background noise. Depending on your leanings, you will need the PC’s help finding the right kind of talk radio program. Pedro likes the political ones- doesn’t matter the opinion, says just listening to the talking heads for a minute or two makes the poop fly right out of him. Then keep the show on a bit longer cause this will help inspire really great poop covering. As you fly out of the LB be sure your PC will change the station to something to groom and snooze to.
Best of luck Webber ~ yours in happy Ps.
My 3 don't need the napping video, unfortunately. They pretty much have that covered. Pedro might want to look into a career as a kitty life coach, though.
