Learn how to turn stress to confidence and distraction to focus using Leslie McDevitt’s Control Unleashed Exercises. Control Unleashed is a continuing training program designed to help dogs learn to relax, focus, and work reliably in either stimulating or stressful situations.

Despite the program title, Control Unleashed is a vigorous and fun curriculum taught while your dog is on-leash in our training center. The games and exercises in this program are designed to help you achieve your goal of transforming your dog into a focused and confident companion that can work around lots of other distractions, especially other dogs.

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.

This class is not for dogs who demonstrate signs of fear, anxiety, or aggression. This class is designed for dogs that are good with dogs and people, but have trouble focusing and have issues with impulse control.
