Control Unleashed
Control Unleashed for Dog Sports is ideal for dogs who struggle in trial or training environments—whether they’re nervous, overexcited, easily distracted, or have difficulty thinking under pressure. CU gives handlers practical skills to help their dogs stay focused, confident, and engaged so they can truly enjoy participating in dog sports together.
In my seminars, teams are introduced to Control Unleashed patterns and games and learn how to apply them effectively in sport-specific situations. Working teams receive coaching on mechanics and timing, with opportunities to practice the skills in a variety of controlled and real-world scenarios. The focus is on building clarity, emotional regulation, and teamwork that holds up in stimulating environments.

Developed by Leslie McDevitt, Control Unleashed® is a 100% positive, choice-based training program designed to help dogs shift from stress to confidence and from distraction to focus. CU teaches dogs how to relax, think, and work reliably—even off leash—in both exciting and challenging situations. The program is widely used by handlers and instructors alike and is especially effective for dogs who need support navigating high-arousal or stressful environments.
