There’s a lot of chatter going around social media lately about the so-called “vagus nerve reset” for dogs: promises of ear rubs, gentle massages, and magical calming effects. But what’s really going on behind those claims?
In this week’s episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, a certified dog trainer and behaviour consultant, untangles the facts from the fluff. From understanding what the vagus nerve actually is, to why soothing touch isn’t a substitute for behavioural support, this episode is your calm, science-backed guide to supporting an anxious or reactive pup.
Forget the quick fixes and viral trends, what our dogs need is empathy, structure, and a whole lot of pawsitive reinforcement. Whether you’ve got a worried rescue, a reactive walker, or a dog who just can’t settle, this one’s for you.
👉 Tune in now and learn what really helps your dog’s nervous system feel safe and supported.
