From Reactive to Calm in Minutes: Dunkin’s First Week of Training | 5 Star Dog Training

When I first met Dunkin, he was extremely reactive—lunging, barking, and completely overwhelmed by the world around him. Unfortunately, this video doesn’t fully capture just how much his family was struggling. But what it does show is how quickly a dog can go from chaos to calm when we begin communicating clearly.

Within minutes, Dunkin is following his mom, focused, calm, and completely neutral—even in situations that used to trigger him. In this video, I walk you through our first week of training:
✅ Building the foundation of the collar communication
✅ Teaching energy commitment and focus
✅ Practicing calmness and impulse control inside the home
✅ Prepping for outdoor exposure and future dog interactions

By the end of week one, Dunkin’s goal is to stay calmly on place through doorbells, guests, mom leaving the room—anything that would normally set him off. Once we’ve built that clarity and trust, then we take it outside to the real-world distractions.

If you think your dog is more reactive than Dunkin—bring them to me. We specialize in helping dogs go from unpredictable to unshakable.
