About
PAWS ™ Foundations A Free Mini Course on Calm, Regulation & Biological Safety PAWS ™ Foundations is a free introductory course designed to shift how you understand your dog—before you ever try to change behavior. Most training starts by asking what to fix. PAWS ™ starts by asking what state your dog is living in. In this mini course, you’ll learn why behavior is downstream of biology, how the nervous system shapes learning, health, and emotional stability, and why many common dog challenges persist despite good intentions, quality food, and consistent training. Rather than offering techniques or obedience drills, PAWS ™ Foundations teaches you how to see behavior as information—not defiance—and how calm, structure, and predictability create the biological conditions where behavior softens naturally. This course explores: • Why regulation must come before behavior • How dysregulation affects digestion, immunity, skin, sleep, and learning • Why dogs are not “fur babies,” and how human projection creates stress • The nervous-system role of food, bathing, parasites, and over-intervention • How structure and routine create true safety—not control • What it means to live the PAWS ™ lifestyle PAWS ™ Foundations is not about doing more. It’s about doing less—intentionally. Whether you’re preparing for a puppy, supporting an adult dog, or seeking a calmer, more connected relationship, this course offers a grounded framework you can return to again and again. This is an invitation, not an obligation. You don’t need to enroll in anything else to benefit. But once you see your dog through this lens, you may never unsee it. © Golden Touch, Inc. 2025
