HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS
7 days. 10 minutes. One very wise dog.
Every day for seven days, you’ll receive a short email with a simple prompt inspired by how dogs move through the world. You’ll bring it into something you’re already doing - like feeding, walking, or cuddling - so it doesn’t feel like “one more thing.”
You can move through the challenge at your own pace, repeat days you love, and come back to the practices anytime life starts to feel like a never-ending fetch. And most importantly share your journey with #LiveLikeYourDog
Day 1: The Art of Arriving
Day 2: Real Connection
Day 3: Walking the World
Day 4: Shaking It Off
Day 5: The Gift of Rest
Day 6: Finding the Wonder
Day 7: Ending Your Day With Ease
WHY LIVE LIKE YOUR DOG?
Because your nervous system deserves
to feel like a dog in the sunshine.
Most of us move through the day like we’re chasing an invisible ball we can never quite catch. Your dog, meanwhile, is fully here for the smells, the breeze, the sunshine, and the warmth of your hand. This challenge helps you borrow that wisdom, gently, without adding another thing to your to-do list.
From autopilot to alive
Practice mini-pauses that shift you out of “get it all done” mode and into the kind of relaxed alertness your dog lives in naturally.
Regulate with relationship
Use the connection you already have with your dog to soothe your nervous system, feel safer in your body, and come back to yourself.
Make your life feel more like a walk
We’ll turn your everyday routines into invitations for delight, curiosity, and a kinder pace. All led by the fluff at the end of your leash.
“For seven days, my dog became my spiritual teacher. The practices were so small and doable, but the impact was huge. I actually looked forward to our walks again, and I ended each day feeling less like a brain on legs and more like a whole person.”
- Kara & Juniper, reformed overthinker + golden retriever
WHO THIS IS FOR
If your dog is your soft place to land… this is for you.
You don’t need to be a “dog person on the internet” or have a perfect routine. You simply need a dog you love, a body that’s a little tired of hustling, and a quiet longing for more ease.
For the overthinkers
If your brain loves spinning, your dog will help you land in your senses instead.
For the caretakers
If you hold a lot for others, these practices are a gentle way to hold more for you.
For the burnt out do-ers
If you’re tired of productivity hacks, let your dog teach you a kinder definition of “enough.”
For tender-hearted humans
If the world feels like a lot, this is a small, sturdy way to feel more grounded with your dog by your side.
MEET Jules, YOUR GUIDE
I make tools for tender humans (and their dogs).
I’m the creator of the #LiveLikeYourDog Challenge. A playful approach to nervous system care that starts where so many of us already feel safest: with our dogs.
My work weaves together somatic practice, attachment science, and a deep respect for the wisdom of animals. I built this challenge because our dogs have so much to teach us. It's something small, kind, and doable where we can remember our humanity in the middle of all the emails and errands.
If your dog has ever put their head on your chest and you felt your whole body exhale, you already know the medicine at the heart of this challenge.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Frequently asked about the #LiveLikeYourDog challenge
How much time does this take each day?
Most people spend 5-10 minutes with the prompt, often folded into something they’re already doing - like a walk, playtime, or bedtime snuggles. You can linger longer if you’d like, but the practices are intentionally short and gentle.
What if I miss a day?
Nothing breaks. You’ll have all seven emails in your inbox, so you can come back to a prompt whenever you’re ready. Some people stay with a single day’s practice for a whole week.
Is this dog training?
Nope. This is human nervous system care, inspired by your dog. You won’t be teaching your dog new cues. You’ll be learning how to be more present, attuned, and kind to yourself through your existing relationship.
What if my dog is older, anxious, or reactive?
You and your dog are welcome exactly as you are. The practices are flexible and can be adapted to support reactive or sensitive pups. Many caretakers of anxious dogs find the nervous system tools inside this challenge especially supportive.
What does it cost?
The #LiveLikeYourDog challenge is completely free. You’ll be added to my newsletter, where I share more tools for tender nervous systems and dog-guided joy. You’re always free to unsubscribe.
#LiveLikeYourDog is an invitation to live with more presence, softness, and to get your own tail wagging.
