Control Unleashed (North)

Based on the bestselling books by Leslie McDevitt, Control Unleashed® is all about helping dogs learn how to relax and focus in stimulating or stressful situations.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN OFF LEASH CLASS!!! Control Unleashed is a program name, but the goal of this class is not to work off leash.

If you're looking to strengthen the bond between you and your dog, Control Unleashed is a great option! Control Unleashed is a wonderful way to help prepare for sports like agility, and also to help easily distracted or impulsive dogs learn to thrive. It can be beneficial for more shy dogs, or even those who just constantly need something to "do."

Control Unleashed will use a series of Pattern Games and other exercises all designed to help build connection with your dog, even when in the midst of lots of distractions.

This class may include skills like Take a Breath, Up/Down, Ping-Pong, 123 Treat, Look At That, and Super Bowls.

All of our classes are taught by skilled trainers using positive reinforcement methods.

This is a 6-week course over set dates. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer makeup classes for this course.

NOTE: if your dog has fear-based aggression/reactivity toward strangers or dogs, or is extremely uncomfortable in new environments, this group class is not appropriate. We reserve the right to remove a dog from class if the situation seems detrimental/unsafe for that dog or other dogs/people in class, and encourage you to set up a private consultation if you're unsure whether class would be a good fit.

Cancellation Policy:

Because this class is a “series” with fixed start and end dates, we are unable to offer makeup classes. If you will miss a date within the series, we are happy to offer a 30 min private lesson at our facility at a reduced rate (a Class Makeup Private, $45) to cover any information you missed!

Also because of the fixed dates for series classes, our 24-hr cancellation policy applies to the first session of class only. 

If you cancel your class series at least 24 hours prior to the first class, we are happy to transfer your credits or refund you for the class. If you decide not to finish the series after the first session, we are unable to fill your spot and allow another pup to join. 

For this reason, if you decide not to complete the series after the class has begun, we reserve the right to refuse refunds entirely or charge a $35 cancellation fee if we will be transferring your remaining balance to a different class or training option.
