Step: 1
Exercises to Decompress Your Dog’s Body
These exercises help calm your dog physically by soothing their autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions like heart rate and blood pressure.
They include nose work, physical massages, and more. These activities aim to bring your dog’s body back into balance by reducing cortisol levels and lowering the heart rate.
Step: 2
Exercises to Awaken Your Dog’s Mind
Engaging your dog’s mind is crucial for self-regulating arousal levels.
Arousal often comes with anxiety and fear, but by engaging the prefrontal cortex, you can achieve top-down regulation to calm your dog.
This activates their ‘thinking brain,’ helping them problem-solve and follow cues on the field.
In this section, you’ll find mind-engaging exercises like cue discrimination and focus games to bring your dog to an optimal arousal state.

Chasing the Tale’s ideology is that dogs can be much more than just a pet if only we nurture their true potential with consistent, enjoyable, and clear training.
By ‘more than just a pet’ we mean that your dog can be your friend, your family member, your loyal companion, and more. We believe that dogs can make our everyday lives more fun and fulfilling with their happy attitude and contagious outlook on life.
Chasing the Tale is about creating stories with your dog and it is about adventure!
That being said, we should never forget what sparks the fire in our own dog’s! Always look at the dog in front of you and adapt your adventures to their specific needs and wants.
The goal is for everyone to enjoy themselves, together! The adventure need not be grand, as long as you make it your own – even if that means relaxing on the sofa and watching Netflix, going to a drive-in movie theatre, grabbing a coffee in the city or taking a refreshing swim in the lake.
All in all, the mission of Chasing the Tale is to encourage more dog owners to take their dogs with them on their adventures – and most importantly, show them how easy it can be with a well mannered dog! With all of this in mind, Chasing the Tale Academy was born.
We’re so confident that you’ll achieve a rock-solid startline stay with the help of this course that we’re willing to back up your purchase with a 100% money-back guarantee.
If you don’t feel that the Solid Startline Stay has helped you, we’ll refund every cent you paid – no questions asked.

What if My Dog Seems Lazy and Disinterested, Not Over-Excited?
If your dog seems lazy and disinterested, this approach can still help. Many dogs that appear under-aroused are actually in a freeze-flight state due to overwhelming stress, causing them to shut down and disengage. They need emotional regulation, a sense of safety, and structure to overcome this state and become more responsive.
Adapting Training to Your Unique Dog
What calms one dog might not be calming to another.
For example, some dogs don’t find touch soothing or rewarding, so stroking might not work for them.
You will learn to observe and work with the dog in front of you, noting how they respond to tactile stimulation like movement, sniffing, and touches.
Over 15 Years of Dog Training Experience
We have dedicated years of our lives to acquiring this knowledge.
We’ve honed our skills through hands-on experience in our in-person classes, competitive agility events, workshops, and seminars.
Our commitment to staying at the forefront of training methods is evident in our collaboration with esteemed experts like Jana Gams and Beata Luchowska, as well as other active competitors in the field.

No, you can work through all of these exercises with your brand new puppy. In fact we would recommend doing so, in order to give your dog the right foundations from the start.
No. This course comes with well-explained, step-by-step tutorials that are all you need.
You and your dog are not the only ones! If your dog’s emotional state is in the way, it is most likely because you didn’t dedicate enough time to build solid foundations. Don’t worry, we have just the right tips, lessons, and tricks to help you work through that.
But if, after purchase, you feel that this course is not for you – you can always ask to get your money back and we will refund you, no questions asked.
Of course! This is a common problem. Agility competitions face your dog with a completely new environment and a different set of challenges. BUT it doesn’t mean that you can’t do something about it. This course will help you get your dog’s overwhelming emotions under control – on competitions or elsewhere.
Absolutely! You will have lifetime access. This means you can revisit the course, reinforce your understanding, and start with new dogs whenever you desire in the future.
The next payment is due one month after the initial purchase date. For instance, if the purchase is made on July 16th, the subsequent payment will be due on August 16th.
Yes. The access to the content platform is lifetime, and it is very easy to use and navigate.
Currently, the course is only available in English, but it does come with English subtitles. However, we do plan on translating the subtitles into other languages in the future, so please follow us for updates.
The video material is not downloadable. However, access to the online classroom is lifetime and the content platform can be reached very easily from any device (phone, tablet, or computer), and is very simple to use.
By doing so they help us dog owners understand our dogs more and thus allow us to find solutions on our own when encountering other
problems.
