Adele Leas, internationally known proponent and teacher of the Art has pioneered this work and made it applicable for domesticated animals. Adele has been teaching at Best Friends since 2006. At the sanctuary, dogs, cats, horses, along with other animals, repeatedly show their innate understanding of this non-verbal Art and seem to have been waiting all their lives to be touched like this. "I came to work with the animals and I got that and so much more. What I didn?t expect was the healing I got myself." -- Previous attendee. "The class was a great balance of explanation and hands on, both as self help and with the animals. I was astounded at the way the animals responded." --Previous attendee.
