Replying to @Rehab Your Rescue you stating that this dog is in a fight or flight and is going to engage and learned helplessness as a result of this shows you dont understand those concepts. Fight or flight as a specific nervous system state it is not the same as any kind of resistance, struggle, or stress. Learned helplessness is a specific concept that has been debunked, but even if it hadnt, its created in situations where a dogs choice makes no difference. You literally cannot learned helplessness in a situation Where are your choices make a difference. #strugglecare #dogtraining
We are so proud of her progress! Before you comment: YES its also important to teach kids how to interact with dogs. We are working with ours on not running or encouraging chase. However, our little girl is autistic and our dog needs to be able to respect her space even when she runs or stims or engages. We do short interactions and then separate before either feels too stressed or over threshold. People always ask me which trainers I like on this app so Ive tagged them!#strugglecare #puppytraining #dogtraining #autism #mentalhealth #dogs
Replying to @🤷🏼♀️ I probably spoke up verbally four or five times during the entire massage and he was responsive to it but only for that one moment. Sometimes I would OK the pressure but then he would hold at that pressure for so long it became painful. It was just such a weird experience uncomfortable experience ##strugglecare ##mentalhealth ##massagetherapy
Replying to @MissyMae6767 We did our first try at a behavioral down today and i think it demonstrates this principle well. Keep in mind I’m not a dog trainer just a dog owner and these videos are not meant to be tutorials they are just documenting our journey ##strugglecare ##mentalhealth ##dogtraining
Replying to @des.mighty let’s talk about the difference between emotional regulation, coping skills, and masking. Is there really a hard line between the difference between emotional regulation, skills and coping skills? Not really, and its valud to use them differently. but it’s helpful for me to think of things in these terms. #strugglecare #mentalhealth #copingskills #windowoftolerance #nervoussystemregulation
Replying to @Shannon there are lots of great images out there, and for me the best ones also show the learning zone. We don’t have to be afraid of discomfort or being out of our comfort zone. We just need the skills and support to learn to come back to baseline. #strugglecare #mentalhealth #windowoftolerance #nervoussystemregulation
