About Us​

Welcome to the World of Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) for Dogs!


Are you looking for a way to help your dog live a happier, anxiety-free life? You’re in the right place! 

SSP is a groundbreaking approach designed to reduce stress and enhance your dog’s social engagement and adaptability. 

Based on Dr. Stephen Porges’ 40 years of research and his Polyvagal Theory, SSP is the only practical application of this theory in the world. It works by resetting the autonomic nervous system, helping your dog feel calm, confident, and connected.

Benefits​

How SSP Benefits Your Dog

reduces anxiety & reactivity

SSP helps your dog feel more relaxed and less stressed. SSP can also help your dog remain calm in situations that would previously have triggered anxiety.

Improves Social Behaviour

Enhances your dog’s ability to engage positively with people and other dogs.

Enhances Training Effectiveness

Makes your dog more receptive to training and learning new behaviours.

Promotes Better Sleep

Better sleep leads to more restful and consistent sleep patterns.

“Happiness is a warm puppy.”

Charles M. Schulz

Understanding SSP and the Polyvagal Theory

SSP is grounded in the Polyvagal Theory, which explains how our nervous system responds to stress and danger.

Just like humans, dogs can benefit from a nervous system reset that helps them handle stress more effectively. This innovative protocol has shown significant positive effects on mood, behaviour, and overall health in both humans and dogs.

Unleash the best of your dog

What to Expect with SSP

Readiness Assessment

We begin with a Readiness Survey to assess the best program for you and your dog.

Create a Safe Space

Establish a calm environment where you and your dog can relax.

Listen and Respond

Pay attention to your dog’s subtle cues. Watch for changes in breathing, body language, and behaviour. Remember, less is more with SSP.

Ongoing Support 

With every subscription, you’ll receive extensive resources including written, video, and audio content to help create a nurturing environment for your dog.

What Our dog friends Say

It’s been really nice to go to work and not worry about Beau being so stressed at home and going round and round and around like he used to; he’s definitely gotten a lot more relaxed when I’m away, and it’s helped.

It’s been wonderful, the whole experience, and really complementary to to all the other therapeutic things that we’ve tried with Maya. For my own education, too, it’s been really eye opening as it was my first experience with anything somatic. Thank you Julia!

We thought we might never see this kind of change with Lucky, or that it would take years, but it happened so fast! He wouldn’t even toilet if there was any sound outside, and now we’re taking him to wineries and going on doggy dates!

Lulu loves to play ball, she was so obsessed that she’ll go off trying to get others’ balls and so just couldn’t play. But now, she’s pausing a bit before she’s doing that and checking in with me, and l’ve been able to recall her back a few times as well. She generally just seems happier and she’s actually more affectionate as well.

Rocco allowed a complete stranger into the house the other day which he would have never done before. Also, he has been much calmer around other dogs in the park which is great because it’s allowing me to do the desensitization and counter conditioning work with him.

SSP has been transformative for our dog, Chilli. We’ve seen remarkable improvements in her anxiety and social behaviour. She’s now greeting people at the dog park, handling car rides without stress, and recovering quickly from potentially stressful situations. It’s been an easy, enjoyable process that’s benefited not just Chilli, but our whole family.

Experience Lasting Change

Program Duration and Flexibility

Your dog will listen to 5 hours of specially filtered music, ideally over a period of 10 to 30 days, depending on their level of anxiety. 

We provide a 2-month subscription to accommodate different scheduling needs. For dogs with severe anxiety, it may take longer, but our comprehensive support ensures you have everything you need to complete the program.

Keep it up

After completing the SSP, you may continue to see improvements for another 6-8 weeks as your dog’s nervous system adjusts and integrates the changes. 

Keeping a diary during this period can help you track and appreciate your progress.
