The Calm Dog: February 22

Service Description

Place work is more than teaching a dog to stay on a mat — it’s about helping the nervous system down-shift, creating clarity, and building impulse control in a way dogs can actually sustain. This is the foundation of the calm dog people are searching for — the dog who can relax at home, ignore chaos around them, think before reacting, and move through the world with steadiness and confidence. Throughout this series, we focus on: • Teaching clear beginnings and endings to place work • Building duration, distance, and distractions at the appropriate pace • Helping dogs learn how to truly relax, not just “hold it together” • Improving impulse control and focus • Strengthening respect and communication through handler energy and body language
