Service Description
I personally LOVE to wrestle with many dogs, but, let’s be real—if your dog launches at you like a furry missile every time you bend over or squeals with joy at the thought of tackling you… this is your course.
Wrestle & Respect is where unfiltered fun meets functional neuroscience. Over 4 high-energy sessions, we teach you how to roughhouse with your dog in a way that deepens trust, teaches respect, and builds one of the strongest bonds you’ll ever feel.
This is not about suppressing play, it's the opposite. It’s about elevating it—so your dog doesn’t spiral into madness, mouthiness, or post-play tantrums. You’ll get permission-based start signals, structured disengagement, off-switch rituals, and handler posture drills so the chaos stays intentional.
Play isn’t a problem. It’s a platform—for connection, communication, and calm. We just help you wire it right.
Neuroscience Insight
High-contact play activates the sympathetic nervous system and floods the body with adrenaline, cortisol, and dopamine. Without structure, the dog becomes hijacked by limbic responses.
By layering co-regulation rituals and voluntary disengagement, we train the brain to shift from play arousal to calm curiosity—activating parasympathetic pathways through trusted handler cues. It’s not about removing intensity—it’s about rewiring its recovery.
