Your dog's arousal is controlled by a traffic light system.

Green light is where your dog isn't aroused. They're capable of doing things in a calm and orderly manner.

Amber light is when they're a bit excited and fizzier, and have more pep in their step. But they can still focus on tasks at hand.

Red light is too much. Arousal has taken over, and anything we attempt to do is fruitless. Oh dear.

Here's the uncomfortable truth - every situation where your dog gets too fizzy? Is governed by them going through these lights.\

An example - street walks. Let's break down what happens to begin one.

🟢 You grab your dog's walking equipment and put them on it. You head to the front door.

🟠 You open the door and head outside, your dog begins to pull. They begin sniffing everything everywhere.

🔴 They're pulling becomes more intense, they're desperate to get to the street, you're asking them for things and they're incapable of doing them.

Arousal is not a moment. It is always in stages.

This is all well and good, you may be thinking, but how do we solve this?

I have a little secret for you, and it hinges on one question - which light do you think we want your dog in?

You might have answered green. But you're wrong. It's amber.

Why? Because we can't take the arousal out of the situation, but we can teach our dog to work in the arousal.

Amber is the perfect level of arousal. There's fizz there, of course, but we can still train within that fizz. Your dog loves their street walks - we can't dampen that excitement. But what we can do is take their desire to do something at that moment (pull) and turn it into a different behaviour.

If you're trying to keep your dog in green, you're fighting a losing battle. Instead, we can take their amber feelings and turn them into engagement and connection. A win win, right?
