description
In this mini-module, Laura Gendron walks through the canine stress response cycle and why recovery is just as important as activation. Veterinary visits, handling procedures, and environmental changes often elevate arousal - but without intentional support, some dogs struggle to come back down.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of the difference between eustress and distress, how trigger stacking impacts patient behavior, and why incomplete stress cycles can affect future visits. This module offers a practical lens for recognizing when a dog’s arousal is rising and how to support appropriate recovery to protect long-term welfare
