  • This course is led by Pippa, an ABTC Animal Training Instructor and Certified Control Unleashed Instructor (CCUI).
  • The key to success in various aspects of dog training, such as loose lead walking, recall, and handling distractions, lies in your dog's ability to focus and their confidence in the relationship with you.
  • When there is a lack of focus from your dog and communication difficulties, managing life with your canine companion can be incredibly challenging and may feel like a daunting task.
  • These challenges can have a negative impact your own confidence levels.

Introducing Control Unleashed

  • A "Conversational" training programme that teaches you and your dog a reliable way to communicate with each other.
  • Control Unleashed training gives your dog a voice and a choice.
  • Through their voice being heard and options given, trust and confidence grows.
  • You'll find your own confidence growing through this new communication.
  • No more worrying or being unsure, you'll learn how to have a two-way conversation with your dog.
  • Promote relaxation for both you and your dog.
  • Learn foundation behaviours.
  • Learn how to incorporation simple pattern games into your everyday life to increase predictability and communication.
  • Control Unleashed is often "the trainers' choice" of training programme because it's so useful and easy to employ.
  • This is not namby-pamby, hippy-dippy, woo-woo training; this is a practical and real world training programme.
  • With Focus Dog Behaviour and Training you will also gain access to a wealth of online video resources, downable handouts and homework which covers the whole of the Control Unleashed Programme.   
  • Some of the exercises can take many weeks to progress through each stage and the process is led by your dog.  It's vital that you proceed at your dog's individual pace.  We don't have time to cover every exercise in the Control Unleashed Programme in 6 weeks.  I have included them all in your curriculum nevertheless, so you can continue to progress and explore them after the course has finished.
