Passive Training

Passive training is happening when our dogs are holding commands for a duration of time.

During passive training, dogs learn how to relax aka ‘calm on command’ which is every bit as important as our active work like learning to recall, going for walks or playing structured games.

When we teach our dogs to have an ‘off switch’ through passive training it gives us handlers the ability to help our dogs relax in the home, not bark at sights and sounds outside the windows, settle easily into commands in different environments (ex. Joining a night out by down/stay on a patio under your table or over to a friends house for a bbq!), and comfortably joining the humans from their place or down/stay command in daily activities like meal times and movie nights!
