Dog Reiki

Gentle, energy-based healing to support your dog’s wellbeing.

At Pawsitive Action Leeds CIC, we offer Dog Reiki sessions as a calming, complementary therapy to support your dog’s emotional, physical, and energetic balance.
Whether your dog is anxious, recovering, ageing, or simply in need of a little peace, Reiki offers a safe space for relaxation and healing, on your dog’s terms.

What is Reiki for Dogs?

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy therapy that promotes deep relaxation, emotional release, and natural healing.
It can be especially helpful for dogs who are:

  • Anxious or fearful
  • Reactive or easily overwhelmed
  • Recovering from illness, trauma, or surgery
  • Senior or end-of-life
  • Adjusting to change or new environments
  • Assistance dogs managing high workloads

Reiki is not a replacement for veterinary care or behavioural therapy – it’s a complementary support that can reduce stress and support healing at all levels.

What Happens During a Session?

Reiki is always offered – never forced. Your dog can choose how close they want to be, whether they want to be touched, or prefer energy sent from a distance.

A session typically includes:

  • A calm, quiet environment (home visits or outdoor sessions available)
  • Time for your dog to settle and feel safe
  • Gentle, non-invasive energy healing
  • Optional gentle touch if welcomed by your dog
  • Observation of body language and consent signals
  • Time to decompress after the session

We honour your dog’s choices at every step.

Why Choose Dog Reiki?

  • Helps reduce stress and anxiety
  • Promotes calm during training or life changes
  • Supports bonding and trust between dog and guardian
  • Can ease discomfort, restlessness, or tension
  • Encourages emotional processing after trauma or rescue

It’s also an ideal support for dogs working in assistance roles, helping prevent burnout and maintain emotional resilience.

Inclusive, Accessible Healing

As a neurodivergent- and disability-led service, we understand how important it is that both you and your dog feel safe, respected, and seen.
We offer flexible session options, sensory-considerate environments, and clear communication around what to expect.
