Control Unleashed* Dog Classes in Seattle

Control Unleashed Book
(not included with the class)

Focus and control, with or without the leash! Control Unleashed classes are a 6-week series classes that are an excellent way to get both of these things from your dog on the agilty field, at the dog park, and anywhere else you need focus from your dog!

CONTROL UNLEASHED 1

Do you envision taking your dog to off leash dog parks or off leash hiking, but your dog bolts at the first opportunity? Are you interested in pursuing dog sports such as agility or flyball? If so, Control Unleashed may be the perfect fit! Exercises focus on building your connection and training relationship with your dog to ensure that you stay connected whether the leash is there or not. Class is modeled on the book “Control Unleashed” by Leslie McDevitt.
Prerequisite: Advanced Manners or instructor permission. Prerequisite classes must have been taken at Ahimsa, otherwise instructor permission is required. (dog demonstrates fluency in name response/watch, sit, down, stay (6 feet), recall (25 feet with calm dog as distraction), leash manners/casual heel, and leave it all with another calm dog present at a distance of about 10 feet. Ideally, the dog would have some understanding of a go to rug and at least one trick, but this is not required. Handler is comfortable using the clicker, is proficient at reward delivery, and does not rely on any type of correction to handle the dog through the above exercises.)

CONTROL UNLEASHED 2

This class is a continuation of Control Unleashed, and targets each dog's specific training goals and/or challenges. Whether your dog's weakness is tennis balls, food, doggie playmates or human attention, we will design and execute a training program to reward them for choosing to work with you instead of succumbing to temptation. Dogs who are worried or reactive will be gently and gradually taught that choosing their handler is a safe and rewarding choice. Class is modeled on the book "Control Unleashed" by Leslie McDevitt.
Prerequisite: Control Unleashed group class
