If your dog struggles to slow down, it’s not a “bad behavior” problem—it’s a skill they haven’t learned yet. Impulse control is one of the most important (and often overlooked) foundations of training. It helps your dog pause instead of pulling, think instead of reacting, and choose calm behaviors even in exciting moments.

That’s exactly what we focus on in our 4-Week Impulse Control Class: From Chaos to Calm.

Over four weeks, you and your dog will learn how to build real-life skills such as:
• Waiting patiently instead of rushing (doorway manners)
• Walking politely on leash around distractions
• Greeting people without jumping
• “Leave it” with confidence
• Settling calmly in the home and in new environments
• Making thoughtful choices instead of impulsive reactions

This class goes beyond basic obedience—we’re building emotional regulation, patience, and focus in a way that is practical and achievable for everyday life. Whether your dog is easily overexcited, struggles with distractions, or simply needs help learning to pause, this class will give you the tools to create lasting change.

Requirements: Dogs must be up to date on Rabies, DHPP, and Tracheobronchitis/Bordetella vaccines. A current Leptospirosis vaccination is highly recommended. A negative fecal test within the past 6 months is also required.

This class is limited to 4 teams, 2 teams are required to hold a session.
