Understanding Neurofeedback:
changing your
pet’s mind
Neurofeedback is a groundbreaking approach to enhancing brain function, and it's not just for humans anymore.
At Wags 2 Whiskers, we’re pioneering the use of neurofeedback for pets, a practice we call "Braining," or “Brain Training.”
At the heart of neurofeedback (braining) is the principle that the brain can change and adapt—a concept known as neuroplasticity.
It involves monitoring the brain's electrical activity and providing real-time feedback, helping the brain regulate itself more efficiently. In the human realm, it's been widely used for enhancing performance and well-being, from athletes to students and business professionals.
At Wags 2 Whiskers, we've adapted this technology to cater specifically to pets, offering them the same level of care and attention to mental health.
Our Braining sessions utilize the NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback® system, a non-invasive method that reflects the brain's activities back to itself through auditory cues. This process helps the brain recognize negative patterns and naturally adjust towards positive ones.
Traditional neurofeedback focuses on certain areas of the brain and needs a specific problem to fix. However at Wags 2 Whiskers we take a holistic approach. Our NeurOptimal® system looks at the whole brain at once, and adjusts to your pet’s brain activity as it happens. This means it can help your pet’s brain work better overall, without needing to target a specific issue.
Braining can lead to various positive outcomes for pets, such as improved calmness, better stress management, and enhanced adaptability to environmental changes.
Though not a treatment or cure for specific conditions, Braining promotes overall brain health and well-being, facilitating a more balanced and harmonious state of mind for pets.
At Wags 2 Whiskers, we offer Braining sessions in a comfortable and calming environment, ensuring that your pet experiences the full benefits of neurofeedback. Our trained practitioners are dedicated to providing a gentle and supportive experience, allowing your pet to relax and enjoy their session.
