Relaxation instead of Stress – How Dogs Learn Calmness

Dogs that can't settle down are not uncommon nowadays. They are overstimulated, stressed, and can't find a way out – a vicious cycle that often burdens not only the dog but also the human.
The reasons for this restlessness are often diverse: they range from corresponding selective breeding to under-challenge to maximum over-challenge of the dog. Often, they have also "not learned" to do nothing for a while.
With the increasing range of activities and the flood of information around dog stimulation and training, the focus is often on action and drive, instead of the urgently needed calmness and promotion of balance.
The consequences are often clearly visible and palpable: dogs that cannot (anymore) switch off are not only under stress but can sometimes also develop behavioral problems.
Find out how to set important anchors to help your dog relax. How to develop a good sense for finding the right balance between activity and rest for your dog and how you can use the influence of your own attitude and energy on your dog's behavior.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• how important rest is as a counterpoint to stress,
• how to find the right balance between rest and activity for you and your dog,
• how important you are for your dog's inner peace, and
• practical tips on how to bring more relaxation into everyday life.
