This workshop will introduce participants to the foundation pattern games from the Control Unleashed program created by Leslie McDevitt. The CU program offers dogs and their handlers predictable and safe behaviour patterns to follow which help them to process their environments and cope with stress and anxiety. The patterns facilitate a conversation between handler and dogs that helps to build confidence and calmness at both ends of the leash.
