While watching the list, place the soft, fleshy part of the tip of your thumb on the point on one side of your dog. Use about 1 pound of pressure be careful not to poke or hurt the dog. Comfortably rest your other hand of the dog, too. Hold your thumb on the point and count to 30 or the dog shows signs of recovery of energy.
