    Webinar – 7/8/21 – From Cue to Conversation: Deep Dive into the Look At That (LAT) game and its baby sister, LATTE – FDSA (fee applies)

    Join LeslieMcDevitt as she tells you all about her revolutionary Look at That game and her new twist on it, LATTE. One of the most popular Control Unleashed games, LAT teaches dogs to focus around distractions and triggers; LATTE teaches dogs to chill out around those things without the working focus piece. In this webinar Leslie will go step by step through a few different ways of teaching LAT (including the newest way, as part of a counter conditioning procedure using station training), when to use it and when not to, how to know when to stop using it and move on to something else, whether to add a verbal cue or let the environment cue it. She will also clear up misconceptions about it that she has heard over the years. Then she will introduce you to the various new possibilities that LATTE offers.

    Date: Thursday, July 8, 2021
    Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
