Raising a Calm, Confident Dog: The Atlas Method, Part One

"How is he so calm?"

It's the question under every video of Atlas: a 50kg Akita lying flat on a London train while the world rushes past him. The answer isn't obedience training. It's socialisation done properly, so the world was never a big deal in the first place. This guide is the long answer to that question: the exact method, start to finish.

Written for owners of large and guardian breeds, where "he's friendly, honest" doesn't cut it and calm isn't optional. The method works for any dog you want to be genuinely at ease in the real world.
