Today I have been out for a walk with my 3 dogs as usual and I am starting to see a big difference in my dog’s behaviour. For the last 6 weeks we have been practicing some of the CU games and particularly the “Look at that”, “give me a break” and when I am standing still my dogs are now beginning to re orient towards me.
Leslie McDevitt the author of “Control Unleashed” has a video on you tube demonstrating with her dogs. Mine are not up to this standard yet, but I am seeing a vast improvement in attention and recalls. I still have some way to go with the “look at that game” but I tried it with some horses and I got the head turn back to me with one of my dogs (she is really excited by horses) so I was really pleased.

The book is also full of valuable information.
