Our old friends often get left behind as life takes over and we get busy, but that doesn’t mean they are any less deserving or needing some one on one time. In this class, our sugar faced friends have a chance to practice old skills, learn some new ones, and even socialize with one another if they like. You’ll love having a climate controlled, safe footing space for them, and they will love coming back to classes with their best friend. Use this chance to ask questions about senior dog living, end of life concerns, and anything else!

Based on Leslie McDevitt’s books “Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog” and “Control Unleashed: Reactive to Relaxed,” Control Unleashed™ is a training program for students and dogs who are ready to strengthen their communication and connection around distractions.

Despite the class title, Control Unleashed is a fun curriculum taught while your dog is on-leash in our huge facility. Turn stress into confidence and distraction into focus.  Build your dog’s ability to relax, focus, and work reliably in either stimulating or stressful situations using training games that increase attention, reduce the power of stressors and the pull of distractions while you and your dog have fun in a friendly, safe, and supportive environment.

With an emphasis on handler focus, impulse control and coming when called in the presence of common distractions, this class is a must for those planning to participate in dog sports like agility, but also for any handler of a young, easily distracted, impulsive or insecure dog. It’s also a great next step for dogs who have just completed reactive rover!

Dogs should have completed a level 1 or get prior approval to take this class!

Some dogs are nervous of new places, new people, and new things. This is a great class for those nervous nellies to warm up to coming to a new place and have fun building skills without the pressure of too much obedience. This is also an excellent ice breaker before attending a basic class like Basic Skills or Mindful Manners with your dog.

In this class we take it slow, we have fun, and we let our dogs learn all about life at their own pace. Every week we challenge them in new ways, even if its just coming through the door.

Your dog doesn’t have to have attended a class at NMBDT before coming to this class, but should not have outward aggression or reactivity out of fear. Please contact us if you have questions prior to registering. Any age of dog is welcome!
