Course Details
Calling all BIG feelings dogs! Whether your dog demonstrates his feelings loudly and with big actions, or quietly and suppressed, this class is for you. We’re going to take a deep dive into the Control Unleashed skills that work best for our big feelings dogs. In addition to addressing general calming techniques and patterns and take a look at lifestyle and environment, we will also tackle the complex CU skill of Look At That (LAT).
When taught carefully and thoughtfully, LAT can become the game changer that turns triggers into opportunities for quite communication. We’ll also use the Animal Centred Education (ACE) framework called Free Work to address your dog’s emotions and physical structure in a way that lowers arousal, builds healthy patterns, and shapes physical and cognitive comfort, without the need of access to triggers or training. This class will change the way your dog feels from the bottom up, providing a healthier and happier dog for whatever their lifestyle requires.
