What You’ll Do in Path & Paws™
This isn’t a lecture or a self-help book. It’s practical, experiential, and grounded.
- Learn simple ways to release stress from your body
- Use time with your dog to get unstuck
- Discover what actually helps you unwind (stillness, movement, play)
- Build small, repeatable practices that fit into ordinary days
Why Your Dog Is Part of This
Joyful Movement
Most people find Path & Paws™ because they’re looking for stress relief, not because they think their dog is the answer. But once they’re here, the role their dog plays becomes clear. Path & Paws™ helps you notice how your dog already affects your stress, and teaches you how to use that experience intentionally instead of relying on chance.
Mindful Stillness
Different dogs support us in different ways. Some bring movement, laughter, and release. Others bring quiet and closeness. Stress relief doesn’t always come from slowing down—sometimes it comes from finally moving. Either way, your dog can help.
