“Join me as we dig beneath the behaviour and uncover how arousal, nervous-system state, and patterns shape a dog’s ability to think, learn, and make choices. CU for the WIN!”

Come and Join Clinical Animal Behaviourist and Certified Control Unleashed Instructor Danielle Beck as she introduces Control Unleashed Pattern Games and explores how they can be used to support behaviour rehabilitation.
Through a series of slides and videos, Danielle will discuss their most used Pattern Games, and break down how predictability can help dogs feel safer. She'll share where to start, how to teach and, most importantly, how they work.
In part two, Danielle takes Control Unleashed into real-world, exploring how familiar games can be progressed, adapted and used creatively to support dogs experiencing reactivity, fear, anxiety and other behaviour challenges.
She'll look at practical ways Pattern Games can support regulation, communication and agency around triggers, rather than simply being a distraction from something difficult.
Most importantly, Danielle will look at the dog within the game. When can we progress? When should we make things easier? When can we offer more choice? And when does our priority need to shift from training to regulation and safety?
