The root point works the immune system, blood circulation, reproductive organs, and the lower half of your dog’s body – the legs, feet, and tail.
For your dog, this is associated with their pack, how safe and grounded your pet is in their current environment, and their relationship with others in the household.

It is vital that your dog is confident as they become more trustful of you and will also have a better gut instinct.
Fourth Chakra or Heart Chakra in Dogs.
The fourth or heart chakra is associated with the color pink.
Just as the name suggests, this chakra point is connected to the heart and is all about unconditional love for oneself and others in the household.
An open heart chakra improves the regulation of emotions and helps with breathing as well.

When closed, negative emotions such as jealousy, envy, and grief can take over thus making them act unpleasantly.
They may start getting territorial towards other animals in the house and can develop separation anxiety towards their humans.
Fifth Chakra or Throat Chakra in Dogs.
The fifth or throat chakra is associated with the color blue and deals with the throat, mouth, and speech in your dogs.
It has everything to do with communication and clarity, being able to express oneself in a way that is pleasant and understandable.
When blocked, your dog may display excessive vocal behaviors such as barking or whining.
They can even start ignoring you and stop listening to commands. If your dog excessively barks or bites, it may be due to a blockage of the throat chakra.
Sixth Chakra or Third Eye Chakra in Dogs.
The sixth or third eye chakra is linked with the color indigo. It deals with intuition and the ability to stay calm in tense situations.
The third eye chakra in dogs is connected to the eyes, nose, brain, and pineal gland.

Seventh Chakra or Crown Chakra in Dogs.

It connects to the spirit and divine energy and is very useful when dealing with head trauma or other issues within the pineal gland. This chakra is often balanced with Chevron Amethyst. When this chakra point is out of balance or blocked, your dog may display behaviors such as depression and can be very sensitive to touch in the affected area. They will start to distrust humans and be disengaged from the environment around them.
Eighth Chakra or Sensing Chakra in Dogs.
The eighth or sensing chakra is associated with the color silver blue. It is connected to the five senses that your dog experiences – touch, smell, taste, sight, and sound.
