The adventure continues for the power pals on Dogland in this thrilling 8th episode of Season 2. The dogs are off again, but not before we examine the role of the fight, flight, or freeze response and how it is a natural part of your amazing brain, more specifically, the amygdala. Studies have shown that just learning about this can help kids manage anxiety and regulate themselves after surprises, stress, and fright. We love Anxiety Canada\u2019s approach here, too: \u200b\u200bhttps://www.anxietycanada.com/articles/fight-flight-freeze-anxiety-explained-for-kids/

And, be warned, this episode ends with a bit of a fox-hanger! Grown-ups can reassure their youngers that everyone will be OK. We promise.

\n

If you haven\u2019t listened to our sidequest, bonus episodes from the Fetcher Files called \u201cThe Dog Who Rode Into the Sunset, parts 1 & 2,\u201d then you should probably go back and check those out. This is also a good idea if it\u2019s been a while since you last gave a listen to them and need a refresh for your memory. If you're completely new to our story, please go find episode 1, called "S1E1 | START HERE! | Power Dog Goes To College" as this is a serial story adventure that unfolds throughout each season.
