Will Bangura’s Dog Training Today | Dog Behaviorist, Dog Aggression & Reactive Dog Training - Mastering Your Dog’s Impulse Control, Part 2

Text Me Your Questions (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1205831/fan_mail/new) In this episode of Will Bangura’s Dog Training Today, dog behaviorist Will Bangura continues the discussion on dog impulse control with more advanced training strategies for calm, focused, reliable behavior. Impulse control affects many everyday dog behavior challenges, including pulling on leash, rushing the door, jumping on guests, barking at sounds, grabbing food, chasing distractions, and struggling to settle when excited or frustrated. Topics covered include: • Advanced impulse control training for dogs • Building calm behavior around distractions • Loose leash walking and heel position • Helping dogs match the pet parent’s pace on walks • Teaching focus during movement • Reducing pulling, lunging, and leash frustration • Calm mealtime routines • Teaching dogs to wait politely around food • Doorbell desensitization • Reducing barking and over-arousal when visitors arrive • Capturing and reinforcing quiet behavior • Teaching silence and calmness without punishment • Using positive reinforcement to reward self-control Will also explains why impulse control is not about forcing dogs to suppress energy. It is about teaching emotional regulation, clear alternatives, reinforcement history, and calm behavior patterns that help dogs succeed in real-life situations. This episode is especially helpful for pet parents with excitable dogs, adolescent dogs, dogs who pull on leash, dogs who bark at the door, dogs who jump on guests, dogs who struggle around food, and dogs who need help learning calm behavior around distractions.
