Relaxation Protocol Course for Professionals
Empower Pets to Take Control of Their Stress
Many animal trainers and consultants are NOT teaching pets a crucial skill- how to relax. Without it, puppies become overtired cranky toddlers and pets with behavior issues struggle to progress.
Our favorite solution? The Pet Harmony Relaxation Protocol. This tool helps pets:
- Self-regulate emotions without constant cues from their humans
- Avoid escalation by removing themselves from stressful situations
- Cope better with fears, like thunderstorms and separation anxiety
Ready to treat relaxation as the learnable skill it is? Sign up for the Relaxation Protocol Course for Professionals and empower pets to manage their own stress.

Skeptical that a Relaxation Protocol can do all that?
Here’s why they haven’t worked for you in the past
Relaxation Protocols are old news; chances are you’ve tried several with mixed success. And, yeah, we’ve been there, too! Here’s what tripped us up with relying on other protocols:
- Most don’t provide enough agency for the pet
- Works for the professional, but difficult to get the client on board
- Even if the client is on board, they don’t have the skills to get the same results
- Unsure how, when, where, and why to use them- let alone what to do if it’s not working
The Solution to the Relaxation Protocol Problems
Like you, we knew that teaching relaxation could help our clients and their pets. The question was: how do we teach it so it’s effective and efficient for them?
And thus the Pet Harmony Relaxation Protocol was born. Based on Dr. Karen Overall’s Relaxation Protocol, we made tweaks to:
- Incorporate choice, control, and agency for the pet
- Provide clear troubleshooting & generalization contingencies
- Flex with the client’s needs
- Give clients quick wins so they continue to practice when we’re not around
We now incorporate this protocol into almost every one of our client’s plans and the success is staggering.
