RESILIENCE. RELATIONSHIP. REGULATION... At both ends of the leash.
When the science of arousal meets the art of training, you'll go...
-
From managing chaos to creating calm
Instead of bracing for every explosion, you'll learn how to prevent over-arousal before it starts -
From frustration to confidence
No more confusion—at either end of the leash.You’ll build the skills to give your dog the clarity they need to understand their job, and the confidence to do it well.
-
From inconsistent results to performance you can count on
Whether it’s in class or on the trial field, you’ll stop worrying about which dog will show up—and start trusting the teamwork you've created.
What's Inside?
Inside OAB, you’ll discover WHY you’re struggling with over-arousal problems, and how to refocus all that energy into Optimal Arousal for Optimal Performance.
You’ll learn how to build confidence, resilience, and optimism. At BOTH ends of the leash. In both training and trialing.Â
Together, we’ll break the steps down, evaluate understanding, build clear communication, and master confidence.Â
And, through this process, you’ll build a consistent sense of calm, curiosity, capability, and joy–again (and always!) at BOTH ends of the leash!Â
(You’ll discover as you work with me just how critical it is to focus on both ends of the leash when working with over-arousal. So you’ll hear me say this, over and over!)

Who is this program for?
This program is for anyone struggling with over-arousal in training or competing with dogs, for sport or work. This includes:
- Dogs who stress “high” (barking, lunging, biting, zooming, visiting, etc.)
- Dogs who stress “low” (sniffing, going slow, disconnecting, quitting, etc.)
- Any combination or permutation of the above!
If your dog struggles to perform in sport or work because of Big Feelings, THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU.
Who is this program NOT for?
 While the material will likely also be very helpful for general behaviour issues, please note that the focus of this program is on dog sports and working dogs.
This program is NOT designed for dangerously reactive dogs that may cause serious harm to other dogs or humans. Please seek a professional behaviourist if this is your challenge!
NOTE: If you’re not sure whether this program is a fit for you and your dog, simply drop me a note at hello@helenelawler.com and let’s talk!
