Service Description

This isn’t “more of the same.” This is mastery—clean timing, quiet authority, and deep reading. Two hours of advanced pack work to make leadership feel effortless. The Mind Over Muscle™ Advanced Pack Skills Intensive is a 120-minute, high-focus session for clients who want to refine multi-dog handling and truly understand dog-to-dog behaviour. We sharpen the skills that protect calm—pressure and release, space claims, pacing, and when to let the pack teach. You’ll learn to keep the “Pet Brain” online under stacked triggers and read micro-signals before they become noise. Here’s what happens during your session: ✅ Precision warm-up and threshold read with our 0–10 model to set operating limits ✅ Pack composition strategy: who pairs with whom, and why (greeters, neutrals, lifeguards) ✅ Flow control: entrances/exits, grouping, and gating decisions that prevent conflict ✅ “Pressure then peace” at speed—short, clean reps that build trust instead of tension ✅ Arousal-wave surfing: recognizing the rise, calling the pause, landing the group ✅ Fair interruptions vs. over-handling; when to step in, when to step out ✅ Resource order: water, handler knees, toys, shade; claim softly, release softly ✅ Role swaps: you lead, I lead, you lead again—until the choreography is natural ✅ Micro-signal lab: weight shifts, eye set, tail math, arc vs. line, invitation vs. claim ✅ Proofing neutrality around motion, sound, novel dogs, and “that one dog” type We’ll use specific helper dogs to stretch a skill without flooding. If your goal is calm off-lead time at family events, smooth yard socials, or safer decompression walks, this is where the handling becomes art. Expect crisp feedback and plenty of reps until the movements feel automatic. This session is not passive. It’s advanced reps with tight criteria and clear wins. Many clients say this is the day leadership finally becomes quiet—and their dog trusts sooner. If basic tools and tips plateaued, mastery of timing and space changes everything.
