🦴 A Paws-itively Important Adventure Begins! 🦴

Uh-oh! 😰 Power Dog's tail isn't wagging quite as much lately - those big mysteries and epic quests are making him feel a little ruff around the edges! Sometimes even the bravest pups need to learn how to handle those butterflies in their belly (or should we say... puppy-flies? 🦋).

We're barking about practical strategies for handling the big emotions that come with worry, stress, and anxiety. Just like learning to walk nicely on a leash, managing worries takes practice and the right tools. Our brave pup starts discovering that he doesn't have to let anxiety hound him. Will Power Dog learn to put those pesky worries on a leash? Can he discover the secret to adventuring with joy instead of jitters? 🤔✨

Perfect for: Kids learning about emotions, families navigating anxiety together, and anyone who wants to adventure through life with more confidence and less worry! 👪💕

Tune in and let's learn to unleash joy while keeping worries on a short leash! 🎧🐕‍🦺

Coming up throughout this season: More emotional adventure tools, friendship lessons, and of course... plenty of tail-wagging fun! 🎉
