Teach Calm Engagement, Controlled Movement, and Better Daily Behaviour.
Threshold Training is a practical guide designed to help puppies and adult dogs learn how to pause, wait, and move calmly through everyday transitions. From rushing out the front door to exploding out of the crate or car, many behaviour issues stem from poor impulse control at boundaries, not from disobedience like many people assume.
This guide shows you how to teach dogs that calm behaviour controls access, using clear, step-by-step exercises that fit naturally into daily life. Instead of constant corrections or frustration, threshold training creates predictability, lowers arousal, and improves behaviour across walks, crate use, door manners, and home routines.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
Teach dogs to pause before doors, crates, and gates
Prevent rushing, pulling, and anticipation-driven behaviour
Use release cues correctly to create clarity
Apply threshold skills to real-life situations without drilling
Troubleshoot common mistakes that stall progress
This guide is ideal for pet owners who want calmer transitions, better impulse control, and a dog that moves, through the world with intention instead of excitement.
