The Impulse Control Bundle
$97
Three workshops in one, covering the skills standing between your dog and real life freedom
Your dog's ears completely turn off the second something more interesting than you appears, you have to hold your dog down by the collar and warn people before they say hi because of the energy, they're always pulling toward things and eating things they shouldn't.
Your dog is just a bit impulsive. You'd love to take your dog more places but you're not 100% sure you trust them yet, on leash or off.
You love your dog and they're so good at home, but when real life happens, as it tends to do (a squirrel, a stranger, something gross on the sidewalk) your dog becomes a lot to manage and it's stressful and frustrating.
What do all these things have in common? Impulse control.
Most dogs who struggle with one form of impulse control, struggle with them all. That's exactly why these three workshops on it are bundled.
What's inside:
Recall Workshop: A reliable recall is one of the most important skills your dog will ever have, and one of the most commonly ignored by your dog. Recall is for safety and peace of mind. This workshop rebuilds your dog's recall from scratch, even if it's more than just a little rusty, and helps you to keep it strong so you can actually use it when you need it. The goal is a dog who comes running because it's a reflex, rather than because they've weighed their options and there's nothing better going on.
Calm Greetings Workshop: If you've ever had to pull your dog off a stranger or warn them that your dog is a bit wild when they approach, this one is for you. This workshop covers both formal and informal greetings, how to practice with real people in real situations, and yes, what to do about people at the front door, too.
Leave It Workshop: You say leave it over and over before eventually just dragging your dog away because they aren't listening. Sound familiar? This workshop builds a strong leave it that teaches your dog that leaving something is actually worth their while (without you saying it five times for them to ignore you anyway). Then it progresses to the auto leave it so your dog starts making good choices before you even have to ask so you don't have to keep your head on a swivel and constantly micromanage, and finishes with the kind of leave it that works out in the world with real distractions. Imagine saying it once and watching your dog actually turn away.
Why these three:
Recall, greetings, and leave it all require the same underlying thing: impulse control. A dog that can pause, check in, and make a good choice even when the environment is pulling them somewhere else and even when you’re not micromanaging them. Building them together gives you a dog that is more thoughtful across the board, not just trained for specific scenarios.
"He FLIES back to me."
"Recall is going GREAT! Toad is a very food motivated dog, so he catches on to the games very quickly... I've had the opportunity to put it to the test a couple of times and he FLIES back to me."
"Our neighbourhood walks are so great now... I feel like I have better tools now to figure it out."
— Casey & Toad
I've spent over a decade as a professional dog trainer, including as a certified Guide Dog Mobility Instructor and service dog trainer, where impulse control isn't optional. The skills you get in this bundle are the same foundational skills I teach to every service dog I train, adapted for pet owners who want a dog they can actually live with and bring places.
Each workshop is self-paced with step-by-step instructions and video demonstrations that you can work through on your own schedule and come back to anytime. Start with whichever one your dog needs most.
