Open Sesame

Teaching patience around open doors before real-life doorway excitement.

Brain Training module 3-5 min Level 3 calm
Dog waiting calmly as an owner opens an interior door.

How to try it

Start with the easy version.

  1. Start at an interior door or gate.
  2. Open it a small amount only while your dog stays calm.
  3. Close the door and reset if they rush forward.

Common mistake: Practicing at the front door before the easy doorway is reliable.

Track: How wide the door can open while your dog remains calm.
