Co-regulation is a supportive process between two beings that promotes nervous system regulation and rhythm in both beings. Co-regulation is also a strategy for one being to teach nervous system regulation skills to another being.
While co-regulation is most often thought of in the relationships between human parents and their children, co-regulation can occur between any two beings who are in relationship with one another. This workbook explores how we can implement co-regulation with dogs.
This workbook provides a clear introduction of what co-regulation is, and how to co-regulate with your dog. Complete with graphics, experiential activities, and an exercise you can do with your dog, this workbook will jump-start your co-regulation journey and help BOTH you and your dog learn to be more aware of your nervous system states, while developing skills to shift both your nervous systems into a more grounded and social state.

This book is an educational tool, and I hope that it supports you and your dog in finding attunement with each other.
It is not meant to replace therapy for humans, nor is it a replacement for dog training or veterinary services. If your dog is behaving with anxiety, reactivity, or aggression, it is recommended that your dog be seen by their primary veterinarian to rule out pain or an underlying physical condition before proceeding with any behavioral modification plan.
I, Sharon Vincuilla, do not make any claims or guarantees that you will achieve specific results by engaging with this work. Behavior is a result of the interaction between beings and their environment, therefore you and your dog's environment are responsible for your dog's behavior.
