I've been nosing around an American dog forum and I kept hearing about this book. It is written by a lady who works as a trainer and behaviorist and also does agility.
The aim of the book is to create a focused and confident dog that will not only respond well to commands when off lead but is ready for them, it says on the website
Who needs Control Unleashed®?
# Dogs that are uncomfortable or unable to work off lead around other dogs
# Dog that are easily distracted and have difficulty concentrating
# Dogs that are reactive or easily aroused
# Dogs that are anxious or stressed and shut down
# Dog that are unable to control their impulses when excited
Well Cadbury falls into category 1, 2 and 5.
It uses clicker training and has bits about its implication for agility training. I've ordered a copy as I think this could really help Cadbury who really struggles to concentrate.
There are some You Tube videos showing the techniques in action as well. So I'm going to give it a go.

Ooo Sounds interesting .... The Pood falls into the same categories plus number 3 but I put that down to her having Fluff for Brains .
