Ever wish your dog could notice something in the environment, stay calm, and then just… get back to relaxing? In this video I walk you through two brilliant Control Unleashed pattern games from Leslie McDevitt: LATTE (Look At That, Then Enrichment) and DECAF (the gentler, easier version). The whole point is to help dogs process the world with calm awareness, and then immediately shift into natural decompression behaviours like sniffing, licking, and foraging—rather than staying stuck in that alert “ready to work” state. I show you how I set up a loop (or line) of enrichment stations—snuffle mats, puzzle toys, boxes with treats—then place a helper at a distance where my dog can notice them but stay under threshold. With LATTE, I mark the moment my dog notices the helper and reorients back to me, then I guide them to an enrichment station and let them fully decompress before moving on. With DECAF, I keep it even softer: if my dog glances at the helper, I feed at the same station; if they look to me, we calmly move forward. Key takeaway: distance and threshold matter, and this isn’t about fixing everything in one session—it’s about predictable structure, choice, and emotional resilience.
