Off Leash is still Structured
Adding structure to off leash activities not only keeps our dogs safe, polite and handler focused but it ensure that they are always practicing the right CALM mindset. Our dogs will embody the behaviours and mindset that we allow them to practice, so if we allow over excitement, unruly, and hooligan behaviour/mindset then we are cultivating an over excited, unruly, hooligan dog. But if we disagree with over excitement, unruliness and hooligan choices by correcting it and don’t allow the dog to practice that stuff (by limiting freedom and opportunity) then we can cultivate the polite, focused behaviours and calm tuned in mindsets that we’d rather our dog embody.
Get LOTS of practice having your dog prioritize commands when off leash in real life situations and around other dogs and people to make sure that she is reliable and responsible when off leash! Our remote collar training approach gives us the ability to always be more relevant to our dog than the environment which means we can always get our dog’s attention and hold them accountable for follow commands... the first time.
