Service Description

This isn’t training. This is the beginning of your dog’s reset journey. This is where it starts. For every dog, every owner, and every breakthrough. The Mind Over Muscle™ Behaviour Reset Assessment is an intensive, 3-hour, in-home (or outdoor) session designed to reframe how you think, act, and lead—so your dog finally feels safe enough to follow. We don’t manage symptoms; we rebuild state. You’ll see exactly when your dog shifts from limbic “Working Brain” (react/perform) to prefrontal “Pet Brain” (curious/connected), and learn how your energy, structure, and timing invite calm on purpose. Here’s what happens during your session: ✅ Safety & gear check, baseline walk, and environment scan (doorways, windows, yard, car) ✅ Threshold reading with our 0–10 model (arousal vs. recovery) across real-world triggers ✅ Live A PET, RESTED™ demonstration to settle arousal and keep consent online ✅ Micro-signal decoding: weight shifts, eye set, tail math, invitation vs. claim ✅ Leash handling that uses pressure → release and movement → stillness (no bribing, no flooding) ✅ Power Zone mapping in your home (gates, hallways, couches, food/water, handler knees) ✅ House choreography: entry/exit rituals, greeting order, guest setups, kids & dog flow ✅ Play→pause→play reps so arousal learns to “land” softly (recovery on cue) ✅ Calm handling for nuisance habits (demand barking, door darting, pacing, counter-surfing) ✅ Clear “do this, not that” daily structure—so the Pet Brain wins reps outside our session Before we arrive, you’ll receive the Ultimate Pre-Assessment Client Prep Guide so we can skip the fluff and get straight to meaningful reps. Afterward, you’ll have a practical plan with recommended next steps with exact criteria to begin your journey and transformation. This session is not passive. It’s a three-hour bootcamp for you and your dog—replacing chaos and over-handling with quiet, confident leadership. Most clients report more clarity in these 3 hours than in years of obedience classes—because we change the brain that drives the behaviour. If you’ve “tried training” and it didn’t stick—this is why. Let’s show you what real change looks like. 📍Includes: Full 3-hour in-home behaviour reset session Pre-assessment prep guide (PDF) A PET, RESTED™ primer Threshold & arousal profile (0–10) Home Power Zone map + rituals Custom follow-up recommendations Personalized upgrade options This is your foundation.
