Impulse Control

Impulse control isn’t about stopping your dog. It’s about teaching them how to stay calm, think clearly, and make better choices in real life. This course shows you how to build calm behaviour step by step, without pressure, frustration, or constant correction. You’ll learn how to recognise when your dog is starting to struggle, how to step in early, and how to teach behaviours that actually work in everyday situations. Inside the course, you’ll find simple, practical exercises including: • It’s Yer Choice • Leave It • Zen Bowl (calm around food) • Sit and Wait • Settle (calm on a mat) • Tug with rules (control during excitement) • Release cues and resets You’ll also learn how to spot early signs of over-arousal, understand your dog’s body language, and prevent behaviours like jumping, biting, grabbing, and over-excitement before they build. This course is suitable for puppies, adolescent dogs, and adult dogs who struggle with excitement, frustration, or impulse control. Everything is designed to be clear, realistic, and easy to follow at home. Calm isn’t something we force. It’s something we teach.
