Ever feel like your dog’s behaviour has changed after a stressful event—even when everything seems “back to normal”? 😕

In this episode, we’re diving into the concept of the stress bucket holiday—why some dogs need a full emotional reset, and how to support them when their nervous system is overloaded.

I’ll share a recent example from my own dog Kenya, signs your dog might need a break, and what a “holiday” actually looks like (hint: it’s not fancy—it’s just what they need).

💡 You’ll learn:

• Why recovery is more than physical

• How to recognise subtle stress signals

• What to pause, ditch, or soften to help your dog truly reset

• How nervous system rest can fast-track your dog’s long-term progress

Sometimes doing less is exactly what your dog needs most. Let’s unpack that together.
