Send us a text

From anxious and reactive to calm, confident and focused — Cavaletti training is the secret tool you didn’t know your dog needed. 🐾

In this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel Podcast, world-class trainer Lauren Langman and her colleague Jamie dive into how Cavaletti builds strength, balance, focus, and emotional resilience in dogs of all breeds, ages, and training backgrounds.

You’ll hear:

• How Cavaletti helps Lauren’s Border Collie, Brave, in her recovery from a devastating spinal injury.
• Why reactive dogs thrive with Cavaletti and how it changes movement patterns for calmer behaviour.
• How to adapt Cavaletti for small spaces, senior dogs, or limited off-leash opportunities.
• The simple setup that delivers results in just minutes a day.

Whether you want to prevent injuries, build your dog’s confidence, or transform reactivity into focus, this episode will show you why Cavaletti should be in every dog owner’s toolkit.
