More Than Just the Relaxation Protocol


Relaxation Protocol is just one piece...

The Relaxation Protocol is a powerful tool in helping our dogs learn to settle, find their “off switch,” and become easier to live with. It’s also incredibly helpful when working through reactivity.

But here’s the thing—it's just one part of the puzzle.

In the latest podcast episode, I’m diving into what else we need to be teaching our dogs:
🐾 How to raise and lower their arousal
🐾 How to hold it together—even when they’re a little excited or a little unsure
🐾 And how these foundations set the stage for real progress

Whether you’re raising a puppy or working through reactivity with an older dog, this episode will give you practical insights to help build calm from the inside out.

Warmly,
Christina

Tried everything, but your dog's big feelings still hold you back?

You wish everyone could see the sweet, funny, loving dog you know when it's just the two of you. Avoiding events and feeling isolated? Registration for Dream Dog closes TOMORROW. Dream Dog is for people with reactive, anxious, or over-the-top...

You're going to make mistakes with your dog. Sorry for the foul language, but seriously, be nicer to yourself! You'll miss a warning sign. You'll push too far on a bad day. You'll look back and think I should have known better. And when it happens, that voice in your head will be merciless. Learning isn't linear. When we live with dogs with Big Feelings, progress is often three steps forward, one step back. That's normal. Setbacks don't erase all the hard work you've done. One rough day...
