The Science Behind Dogs & Wellbeing 🐾🐶

🐾 Dogs Activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System
🐾 Co-Regulation: Borrowing Calm From a Dog
🐾 Gentle Touch is a Powerful Nervous System Tool
🐾 Dogs Help the Body Feel Safe Without Words

A dysregulated nervous system affects everything - mood, digestion, sleep, immunity, pain perception, and emotional resilience.

Supporting regulation through gentle, dog-assisted experiences can help to:
🐶 Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
🐶 Improve emotional resilience
🐶 Support recovery from burnout
🐶 Ease loneliness and isolation
🐶 Compliment therapeutic or medical support

This is not about replacing treatment; it’s about supporting the body’s natural capacity to settle and heal through dog assisted interventions.

When we talk about the benefits of spending time with dogs, we often hear words like comforting, calming, or uplifting.
But what’s happening beneath the surface goes much deeper than emotion alone.

Dogs have a powerful, measurable impact on the central nervous system (CNS) - the system responsible for how we respond to stress, regulate emotions, and feel safe in our bodies.

For many people, especially those living with chronic stress, trauma, neurodivergence, illness, or anxiety, time with a dog isn’t just “nice”. It’s regulating.

What a wonderful week it has been at Pause With Paws C.I.C 🐾

We started the week by having an initial visit with a lovely little boy we will be supporting with home visits bi-weekly. He chose Mini and Paddington to be his new friends and they thoroughly enjoyed their visit and can’t wait to go back next week. 🐶

Wednesday and Thursday we had the pleasure of visiting our friends at Sandiacre Court for double dog day! The residents were thrilled that they got to spend time with our wellbeing dogs for two days in a row.

It was Jinx’s 11th birthday and we all got together to sing happy birthday to her at the care home. As you can see by her smile on the first photo, she had the best day! It’s been so nice to see Jinx come out of her shell throughout the visits.

Next week we have care centre visits and home visits planned and we cannot wait to see more smiling faces on humans and dogs! 🐶

We are now booking from 6th November up until 22nd December so if you’d like to know more about a Pause With Paws CIC visit please pop us a message as we are coming up to a very busy period 🐾🫶

Thank you for always supporting our mission 🐶🩷

A wonderful afternoon visiting our friends at Sandiacre Court Care Centre 🫶

The residents enjoyed giving the dogs lots of treats and lots of cuddles and we saw lots of smiles 🥰

At Pause With Pause CIC, our mission is to bring psychology-informed, non-clinical canine-assisted wellbeing visits, and making sure that each interaction fosters a deep connection and emotional support for individuals.

We strive to create transformative experiences that promote emotional balance, resilience, and well-being for both humans and furry companions 🐶💚

We are looking forward to visiting Sandiacre Court again tomorrow and so are the dogs! 🥰

Pause With Paws provides psychology-informed, non-clinical canine-assisted wellbeing visits using calm, sociable small dogs to support emotional regulation, stress relief, and human connection.

Our sessions are:
Calm, slow, and pressure-free
Designed to support the nervous system
Inclusive and accessible
Ethical and dog-led
​
This is not therapy and it doesn’t need to be.
It’s intentional wellbeing, grounded in psychology and delivered with care.

Each session is adapted to the environment, group size, and needs of those attending.
