What is Impulse Control?
The lack of impulse control is the root of most problem behaviors our dogs display like jumping on people, running out the door, stealing food, and chasing birds down the street.
Calm responses is not a natural behavior for most dogs (or most humans). In this section you'll learn how to use real-world rewards, and teach your dog how to make thoughtful responses instead of impulsive reactions. This concept can be applied to almost every scenario in a dog's world, from feeding time to play to how they watch birds in the park, even how the meet new people and dogs.
This is an essential skill for all dogs, and most critical for dogs that display any kind of reactivity, it's potential for growth and practice is limitless and can be applied into reverse luring and cooperative care at a more advanced level.
It's a game of patience on the human end of the leash, so take a deep breath, grab your treats, leash and let's go! You're in luck as this is one of my favorite things to teach 😎
