The Zebra or Zigzag TTouch is a slow, sliding touch which you can do along the length of the body from the shoulder. You can do this when your dog is standing, sitting or lying down so it is a useful one to use both at home and on walks. Most dogs enjoy it and find it calming.

Place your hand on your dog's shoulder with your fingers together. Slowly slide your hand down towards your dog's elbow, opening your fingers a little as you go. Slide back up bringing your fingers back together in a raking motion. Continue like this sliding your hand up and down along the body in a zigzag action.

You can do the Zebra TTouch on both sides of your dog. You can do one side first and then the other or you can do one, cross over the spine and do the other all the way along.
