EP12: 5 Things Your Nervous System Needs When Meeting New Dogs
Description
Meeting new dogs doesn’t have to mean pushing past discomfort, rushing greetings, or aiming for “good behavior.” When we center nervous system safety, dog introductions can become calmer, clearer, and more respectful - for everyone involved.
In this episode, I share 5 nervous system truths that support safer dog-to-dog interactions, including:
- Recognising calming signals
- Checking in with your own nervous system
- Understanding how your dog typically interacts
- Choosing environments that support regulation
- Reframing “good” interactions into safe ones
This episode is for dog moms who want to move away from social pressure of "getting it right" and toward regulation, consent, and connection.
