One day everything feels calm, your dog settles, you feel grounded, and the next, it’s chaos again.

If you’ve ever wondered why your calm keeps disappearing, this episode of The Mindful Dog Parent will help you understand what’s really happening underneath the surface.

Siân Lawley-Rudd shares the neuroscience behind those ups and downs, how your nervous system naturally moves between activation and rest, and why that’s not failure, it’s regulation.

Through Nervous-System Aware Dog Parenting™, you’ll learn how to find your calm again when life or training feels too much.

✨ What you’ll learn:

• Why calm doesn’t vanish, it just hides beneath stress.
• How “pendulation” explains the waves between calm and chaos.
• 3 simple steps to rebuild calm when it fades.
• What co-regulation really looks like between you and your dog.
• How the Calm Circuit™ helps you both recover faster after triggers.

Your calm hasn’t disappeared, it’s waiting for you to come back to it. 💜
