BORDER COLLIE: 
The Overachiever on Overdrive

Your nervous system is a high-voltage live wire — sharp, focused, and always looking for the next thing to herd. You wake up thinking through your to-do list before your feet even hit the floor. Productivity is your love language, but your brain rarely lets you just… sit.

Border Collies are legendary for being the smartest kid in class who still signs up for three extra-credit projects. You’ve got that same energy — whip-smart, insanely capable, and a little frantic about proving yourself. The problem? You’re chasing sheep that don’t even exist.

If you were in the pet aisle, you’d bypass chew toys and head straight for puzzle feeders, color-coded planners, and maybe a treadmill you can run while on a conference call. Grooming? Immaculate when there’s time — but honestly, you’d rather spend it ticking boxes.

💡 What it means: You’re not just busy; you’re in constant performance mode. Your nervous system is brilliant but overworked, craving stillness more than it wants another gold star.

👉 The Neuro-Proof Narrative Quest™ helps you trade in nonstop herding for playful focus. Less “do it all,” more “do what matters” — with joy.

CHIHUAHUA:
The Chaos Goblin in a Cardigan

Your nervous system is tiny but mighty — and vibrating like a phone on silent. You’re basically one triple espresso away from spontaneous combustion. Fierce, loyal, and hilariously dramatic, you can go from zero to barky in 0.3 seconds flat.

Chihuahuas are famous for being pocket-sized divas: they shiver in sweaters, guard their humans like bodyguards, and side-eye strangers with Olympic precision. Your nervous system pulls the same moves — all heart, all nerves, and constantly convinced the world is two steps from falling apart.

💡 What it means: You’re running hot, high-strung, and extra spicy. It’s not weakness — it’s sensitivity turned up to eleven. The problem? Living like this is exhausting.

👉 The Neuro-Proof Narrative Quest™ is your chance to turn that nervous wiggle into confidence wag. Less bark, more bite-sized joy.

GOLDEN RETRIEVER:
The Chill People-Pleaser

Your nervous system is calm, loyal, and steady — think warm tail wags and patient eyes. You’re the type who can stretch, sip water, and actually remember to breathe before the coffee kicks in. On the outside, you look un-fried. On the inside? You sometimes care so much about keeping everyone happy that your own needs get shoved to the bottom of the list.

Goldens are famous for being trustworthy, big-hearted, and always ready to fetch someone else’s stick. You’ve got the same vibe — dependable and endlessly kind — but it can also mean you tolerate more stress than you should, just to keep the peace.

If you had a shopping cart, it’d be full of tennis balls, family board games, and matching seasonal bandanas. Grooming? Regular brushings and good posture — because you like to look put together, even if you’re secretly exhausted.

💡 What it means: You’re not fried, but you are stretched thin by loyalty. Your nervous system runs smooth, but only as long as you don’t put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own forever.

👉 The Neuro-Proof Narrative Quest™ will teach you to set down the leash, claim your own space, and remember: even Goldens deserve belly rubs (aka joy + rest).

GREYHOUND:
The Sprint-and-Crash Specialist

You’re sleek, fast, and built for the big moves — but your nervous system runs like a sprint, not a marathon. One moment you’re charging ahead like a productivity racehorse, the next you’re horizontal, wrapped in a blanket, wondering why the world expects so much.

Greyhounds look fancy, but here’s the truth: they spend 90% of their lives napping in awkward positions that make chiropractors weep. Your nervous system does the same — all-or-nothing, boom-and-bust, sprint-and-collapse. It’s not laziness. It’s your body hitting the brakes after flooring it too hard.

If you were shopping for accessories, you’d bypass squeaky toys and head straight for a weighted blanket, noise-canceling headphones, and maybe a velvet couch you never want to leave. Grooming? Low-maintenance — until burnout hits, and then even dry shampoo feels like too much effort.

💡 What it means: You don’t lack energy or ambition — you lack pacing. Your nervous system is begging you to swap sprint mode for sustainable strides.

👉 The Neuro-Proof Narrative Quest™ will help you find your rhythm so rest feels like fuel, not failure. No more whiplash between glory runs and ghost mode.

PITBULL:
The Fierce Marshmallow

On the outside? You’re strong, loyal, and ready to take on the world. On the inside? You’re a big anxious baby who just wants everyone to like you… preferably while you’re wearing pajamas with little stars on them. Your nervous system shows up with power, but it’s easily overwhelmed, and the guilt hamster in your brain just will. not. stop. running.

Pitbulls have a reputation for toughness, but these house hippos are cuddle addicts who think they’re lapdogs. Same with you. You carry yourself like a powerhouse, but under the armor is a sensitive soul who apologizes twelve times before breakfast.

If you were raiding the pet aisle, you’d bypass tug ropes and pick out soft toys, cozy hoodies, and a weighted blanket disguised as a giant dog bed. Grooming? Low effort. You’re more about comfort than polish — but heaven forbid someone mistake you for not caring.

💡 What it means: You don’t lack strength — you lack self-compassion. Your nervous system is craving gentleness, not more grit.

👉 The Neuro-Proof Narrative Quest™ is your safe spot to drop the armor, quiet the guilt hamster, and trade in constant vigilance for genuine rest (yes, even in pajamas).
