The problem

You have tried everything, and nothing holds.

  • Commands, corrections, a new method every few months.
  • He still pulls, runs off and barks.
  • Every fix works for a week, then it is gone.
An owner and a trainer standing over a dog sitting on the grass between them, the dog looking up and waiting
Alisa bending towards a spaniel sitting up and looking at her hand, the lead loose

This will be you.

  1. Training makes sense.You see why he does what he does, before he does it.
  2. Your home gets calmer.You change a few things at home, and he settles.
  3. Progress holds.It changed between the two of you, not only in a lesson.
Alisa Groen alone on the seafront lawn under a broad tree, the sea beyond

Your dog asks one question, all day long

Is the person holding my lead handling this?

If the answer is no, he handles it himself: he pulls, he barks, he runs off. This book shows you how to make the answer yes.

Questions

What do I get, and how does it arrive?

Foundation and the Locus CODE Workspace, for one payment, no subscription. Your access link appears as soon as you pay. It is an online book, not a download or a print copy: the link opens it in the browser on your own phone, tablet or computer, and opens the Workspace too.

Which book should I start with?

This one. Foundation is the book the other two build on. After it, take the volume that fits your dog: Reactivity for the dog who barks, lunges or freezes, Puppy Guidance for a new puppy. The Collection has all three.

Will it work for my dog?

It works on you and your dog, not the breed, so it fits any dog, whatever the breed or age. If he has bitten, start with a private session first.

How much time does it take?

The book is 65 pages. After it, the Workspace gives you one job for the week, so there is never a long list to work through.

Can I change my mind?

Yes, within 14 days, as long as you have not opened the book. Once it is open the sale is final, and if something is wrong on our side we put it right. The refund policy has the detail.
