We know that allowing dogs to use their noses helps build confidence and independence while providing mental stimulation. It should also slow them down as they work to solve odor problems.
But what happens when our dogs are TOO excited to play? When they are either too worked up about the prospect of hunting, or by the possibility of reinforcement, or even if the environment is a tad too much for them? A group of people watching them might be intimidating, or the competing odors in the environment may be sending them into a conflict-heavy frenzy!
Learn how to utilize Control Unleashed® games and concepts to help build focus in both you and your dog by providing predictable and comforting rituals, from car to start line, that allow your dogs to take in their environment while also self-regulating their emotions, leading to some crazy calm start lines, and a little more control in your searches.
