Control Unleashed, developed by Leslie McDevitt, is a behavioral program that uses patterns as a counterconditioning tool to help dogs become less environmentally stressed and more connected to their owners.

And now Control Unleashed group classes are coming to Houston!

What? Six 60-minute sessions

When? Every Saturday starting May 15th, 4pm

Where? KraftyK9 (click for link)

How much? $230/team

How do I sign up? Send me an email and I will ask you a few questions to make sure you and your dog will benefit from a CU group class.

Space is limited to 4 dog/handler teams.

Which dogs can benefit from a Control Unleashed group class?

• Dogs that easily lose focus when training

• Dogs that listen to their handlers but whose body language shows that they feel stressed (they yawn, lick their lips, scratch as a displacement behavior, doesn’t look directly at their handler)

• Dogs that bark or pull and lunge at other dogs and objects they’re uncertain about but can be interrupted easily and quickly recover

• Dogs that are mildly responsive to sudden environmental changes but recover quickly

If your dog is hyper vigilant and extremely responsive to environmental changes, has a very low arousal threshold or cannot easily and quickly recover from a stressful event, barks nonstop and pulls and lunges at other dogs or people forcefully, a Control Unleashed group class may not be appropriate for them. They can, however, still benefit from working using pattern games in a less stressful environment. If you believe that’s your dog, contact me to book private classes.
