The pattern game Engage–disengage is about working below threshold, not pushing dogs to cope. When a dog notices a trigger and stays under threshold, the thinking part of the brain is still online. That’s when learning can happen. We can calmly mark the moment they notice, then move away to create space and relief. Once a dog goes over threshold, stress hormones take over. The brain shifts into survival mode, and learning stops, which is why forcing dogs to “stay and face it” so often backfires.

Engage–Disengage Game 🐶✨ Why you won’t see me doing dramatic “before & after” videos… The second a dog comes into my care, I’m already painting a new picture for them. My goal isn’t to show how “bad” a dog was — it’s to start shifting how they feel about the world the moment they arrive. 💛 I need them to trust me 10000%. When a dog struggles with reactivity, fear, or over-arousal, it’s not about forcing them to “look at me” or suppressing their feelings. 💚➡️ It’s about changing their emotiona

This is the very early stages of the engage/disengage game. In order for a dog to participate in this game, he must already know a marker. Our marker is the verbal marker “yes”. The environment also has to be suitable for the individual dog. We used distance and repetitions to help Hank feel comfortable passing by my dog Murphy. Murphy was also laying down to appear less threatening. The idea behind the game is to teach the dog how to look at a trigger, but also look away. So at first we allow t

There are many different components to working through reactivity with our dogs and it includes working through reactivity in the home. When I foster a reactive dog, once we build a training relationship, I approach the reactivity from indoors first. I like to teach the dog the engage/disengage game and/or the “look” game through windows before we attempt to take this outdoors. In the beginning stages, we use a high value reward to help keep the dog motivated. We want them to want what we have t
