I was training with a successful, well known, highly recommended handler and on my turn was told "pop her, pop her, pop her. Though the book was targeted to agility instructors, McDevitt offers practical, useable advice for all instructors and the handlers of reactive dogs. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I haven't yet reached the end, but the the advice and training exercises so far are having a good effect, and I'm very pleased. I also wish it would get going faster, there's lots of talk about the author's ideas being great and working well but you keep thinking yes, where are the ideas. I bought it to learn thoroughly about LAT technique that has been mentioned in so many reactive dog topics, but in addition, have learned much more.

In chapter nine, McDevitt discusses applying control unleashed to agility contexts, starting with the warm up before moving on to running the sequence.

We are being very patient and it is not easy to always work sub-threshold but when I see that my dog feels a lot better with learning to cope with his triggers rather than having to focus his attention on me most of the time, I feel better too because I know that we will be able to manage his reactivity. Learn how to turn stress to confidence and distraction to focus using methods that are 110% positive. So, finding this program helped me see how to help my reactive dog and owner read, communicate, and bond better, so trust could surface. Leslie's books have been translated into multiple languages and Leslie has taught the material from her seminal book Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog to people and dogs all around the world. She explains in detail how to use parallel racing, giving advice on working with motion-triggered dogs and training a reactive dog to watch other dogs in motion.We are also starting our classes completely differently now with "passive attention" time and I feel that my dog is stepping into his class with being more concentrated and attentive. They've helped my Patterdale terrier with her focus and self control generally and that's beginning to have affect when we do agility. His answer helps you adjust your training plan or change the environment until you get a different answer. McDevitt then moves on detail why sniffing is not a crime, as well as how to teach the dog to think through his arousal using the Off Switch game. McDevitt stresses that this is a behavioural programme and not an agility class or obedience programme.
