SELF-CONTROL
The ultimate guide
The complete guide to understanding, structuring, and developing your dog’s self-control so you can build a calmer, more stable, more connected dog who can still think under excitement, frustration, or stress.
The problem is not obedience. It is your dog’s ability to manage their emotions.
Many dog owners keep repeating commands, correcting visible behaviors, or trying to distract their dog with food or toys. But if the dog has not learned how to manage their emotional state, they will keep pulling, reacting, chasing, getting overexcited, or ignoring their handler in stimulating environments.
Your dog pulls on the leash
Your dog is unable to control themselves when faced with environmental stimulation.
Your dog reacts
Reactivity is often the result of an emotional state the dog has not learned to manage.
Your dog loses their brain
The dog acts before thinking because they have not learned how to resist their impulses.
This guide works on the root cause
SELF-CONTROL The ultimate guide gives you a clear method to teach your dog how to wait, settle back down emotionally, handle frustration, stay connected to you, and keep their brain switched on in difficult situations.
