Benny used relaxation techniques on various animals. He taught a baby sparrow who kept falling out of the nest balance and judgment. A squirrel kept coughing up nuts until Benny showed him better mouth storage skills. He helped numerous flying squirrels avoid slamming into each other mid air.
There was a pig who hated mud and was gradually introduced to it by getting hosed down in dirt. A beaver who hated the taste of wood, who feared his teeth would crack. Benny started him off on oatmeal and gradually introduced harder substances until the fear was gone.
An anteater had nightmares about accidentally consuming spiders to the point where his snout tightened up and closed. Benny held up rubber spiders in front of him until that fear ended. A goat feared a farmer who looked at him strangely. Benny had a frank talk with the man, threatening to report him to the police. A cow was so tense it couldn't give milk. Benny sang soft folk songs and convinced it personality was more important than milk production.
A buzzard suffered from binge eating and he gave the bird a mantra to repeat. He was convinced this would work because it did so with a very agitated hummingbird.
Benny just adored nature.
