Sneak peek
Take a look inside the guide
The skills you'll learn
What you'll be able to do after reading it
Read the thought before the reaction
Sniffing, marking and scanning put your dog in a mindset long before the trigger appears. Learn to spot which one you're dealing with.
Stop the rehearsal at home
Five house rules end the barking at the window and fixating at the door, so your dog stops practicing reactivity before the walk even starts.
Hold a heel with four rules
No sniffing, no marking, no fixating and no breaking. Your dog's shoulder stays at your leg until you give the release.
Correct fairly, and know what to reward
What to mark and reward, the four parts of a fair correction, and what to do when a walk goes sideways.
Build calm at any distance
Bank good experiences on purpose, so your dog stays calm and thinking whether a trigger is across the street or right beside them.
