Leslie McDevitt MLA, CDBC, CPDT-KA

You might have heard the saying that "dog training is both an art and science." And I kind of agree with that statement because training plans, even when rigorously based in science, can often benefit from creative thinking. I can’t think of any other trainer that thinks more creatively in the work she has done with dogs, especially the dogs who have issues on-leash. Leslie McDevitt's "Look at That" (L.A.T.) from her seminal work with the Control Unleashed series is just one example of the outside the box thinking that goes on in her brain, and in this episode we chat about an awesome variety of ideas where Leslie’s creativity shines through including things like LATTE, Cooperative Counter Conditioning, and Pattern Games, all used to help dogs with aggression.
