Dogs are sensory beings! That means their nervous systems, like ours, need information and nourishment from the senses.
Some sensations make dogs feel calm, while others can cause stress. Stress adds up over time and can, without enough support, lead to explosive reactive behavior.
This workbook provides a brief summary of this sensation-stress-explosion process using the metaphor of a volcano. Complete with graphics, reflection prompts, and helpful examples, this workbook will support you in understanding your dog’s behavior and identifying practical strategies to reduce stress and prevent the next explosion.

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.
