Our 12 year old dog used to refuse cuddles as the effort to jump onto our laps was too much. Then I started doing the TT on her, and she now leaps up for a cuddle and hasn't looked back. She has improved in mobility, but how much of this is to do with TT and how much is down to the Tumeric I now sprinkle on her food I don't know, but she loves having cuddles now. (I have in the past used Glucosamine/Chindroitin, Metacam from the vets which we had to stop when she got blood in her stools and chronic diahorrea, and Green lipped mussel - excellent but expensive but a pot of Tumeric is cheap and effective). So try Tumeric and TT, both recommended.
