A short, reassuring story about how nervous system regulation through the Safe and Sound Protocol and Rest & Restore Protocol (RRP) can show up in unexpected ways and are more easily seen in certain contexts.

Discover how the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) can support not only humans but also our beloved pets. In this post, I share my dog Amy’s remarkable transformation—from anxious and sound‑sensitive to calm and playful—and explain how SSP and RRP can help both species experience greater safety and regulation. I also outline common areas of improvement for humans after SSP and note that when clients work with me, I include supervision of their pet’s listening process at no extra cost.

In addition to her previously noted gains, five weeks post SSP, Maggie is no longer showing territorial behaviours nor aggression towards other dogs

A couple of weeks post SSP, my dog has dramatically less pain, improved assertiveness, better ability to read social cues, and is barking less. :)
