The CCC Field Immersion Program is not dog training. It is a nervous system recalibration — documented, measured, and proven across 90 days of structured field work. For your dog. And for you.
You have tried the techniques. The commands. The consistency. And still — on the walk, under pressure, in the real moment — something slips. That is not a skill gap. It is a state gap. And no command can close it.
When your nervous system is dysregulated, even perfect technique doesn't land. Your dog reads what's underneath your action before you even move.
Cognitive bias distorts every client's perception of their dog's progress. Without measurement, you can't see what's actually changing — or why it isn't.
A chronically dysregulated nervous system requires more than technique. It requires consistent, documented exposure to the conditions that allow a new baseline to form.
If your dog is reactive, anxious, or overwhelmed — it's not just behavior. It's their nervous system under stress. That's where we begin. Not with commands. Not with corrections. With the conditions for learning.
The CCC Field Immersion Program applies nervous system science — polyvagal theory, stress biology, handler co-regulation — to the most ordinary moment in your dog's day: the walk.
No technique lands on a flooded brain. Regulation comes first — always.
Weekly logs, standardized field tests, and video assessments defeat cognitive bias and make progress irrefutable.
Your dog borrows your nervous system. The program develops both — simultaneously.
By Day 90 you hold irrefutable evidence of transformation — generated by you, delivered by the protocol.
"The goal of this system is not to celebrate progress. It is to prove it. By Day 90, every client holds irrefutable documented evidence of transformation — evidence they generated themselves."— Lorrie Harris, CCC Field Immersion Protocol
These core components are identical whether you choose the Standard Hybrid or the Day Training Upgrade. The difference is how your live coaching is delivered.
All 3 Field Books — the complete knowledge arc from first observation to nervous system integration
All 26 laminated protocol cards — carried on every walk, referenced in every session
A complete behavioral and state profile of your dog before any training influence begins
Real-time frequency records submitted before every session — the data that defeats cognitive bias
Lorrie watches each of your three standardized field test videos and delivers a written coaching report within 72 hours
Client-filmed at Day 0, Day 45, and Day 90 on a consistent route using a 10-marker behavioral rubric
The comprehensive documented record of everything that changed — presented at your final session
Your dog's personalized behavioral and physiological resilience score — a measurable proof point of transformation
The Day Training Upgrade is not a better version of the Hybrid Track. It is a different experience for a different kind of learner. Both produce the same 90-Day Transformation Report. The path to it is different.
Every session is deliberate. Every month builds on the last. Select your track below.
For dogs who have plateaued despite consistent, motivated handler effort — there is sometimes a biological layer that behavioral work alone cannot fully address. These optional tools look inside.
The gut microbiome directly influences cortisol production, inflammatory load, and stress threshold — all of which shape behavioral reactivity. If your dog's gut is producing a chronically inflammatory environment, their reactive threshold is being lowered every single day by a biological process that training cannot reach.
The AnimalBiome test gives us a biological picture of what is driving behavior alongside the behavioral and nervous-system picture. When both layers are addressed, results are often dramatically different from what behavioral work alone produced.
Learn about AnimalBiome →Heart Rate Variability is the most accurate real-time measure of autonomic nervous system state available for dogs. The PetPace collar tracks your dog's physiological stress patterns across every walk, every trigger, and every recovery period — continuously.
Lorrie translates the HRV data into plain language: "Your dog is recovering faster after walks." "Your dog is still spiking around visitors." This is not tech overwhelm. It is biological intelligence made actionable — and it changes everything you think you know about what your dog's nervous system is doing.
Learn about PetPace →Two tracks. One outcome. Both produce the same 90-Day Transformation Report and CRI™ Score. Choose the path that fits your life and your dog's needs.
For the motivated, self-directed handler who benefits from community support and structured independence between sessions. Everything you need — delivered at a pace that fits your life.
For the handler whose dog needs intensive nervous system work, and who learns best by doing — not just reading and applying. Four sessions a month. You are in the field with Lorrie.
The Standard Hybrid Track is built for the motivated, self-directed handler who benefits from community and can practice consistently between bi-monthly Zoom sessions. The Day Training Upgrade is for dogs who need more repetitions than a home practice schedule can provide — and for handlers who learn best by being in the field, not just reading and applying. If your schedule is unpredictable or you live outside the North Kingstown area, the Hybrid Track is your path. If you want to be in the field with Lorrie four times a month and your dog is stuck despite your best effort — that's what the Upgrade is for.
Both tracks include the complete Field Lessons Trilogy™ (all 3 Field Books), all 26 Field Guide Walk Cards™, the Day Zero Baseline Capture, Weekly Field Incident Logs, 3 Standardized Field Tests filmed at Day 0, Day 45, and Day 90, CCC Video Assessment ×3 with written coaching reports within 72 hours, the 90-Day Transformation Report™, and your Canine Resilience Index™ Score. The difference is how live coaching is delivered — Group Zoom on the Hybrid Track, full-day in-person sessions on the Day Training Upgrade.
At three points across 90 days — Day 0, Day 45, and Day 90 — you film a 15-minute standardized walk on a consistent route. You score the video yourself using a 10-marker behavioral rubric. Then you submit the footage to Lorrie. Lorrie watches the full video and returns a written CCC Video Assessment Report within 72 hours. This is not a rubric check. It is a professional coaching read of the footage — identifying what your eye missed, naming what is actually happening in your dog's body, and surfacing the most important pattern for the next phase of work.
The CRI™ Score is your dog's personalized behavioral and physiological resilience score — delivered at Day 90 as part of the 90-Day Transformation Report. It synthesizes your dog's progress across all three standardized field tests, the weekly incident log data, your video assessment findings, and Lorrie's field observations into a single, measurable proof point of transformation. It is not subjective. It is data-driven evidence that the work happened — and that it stuck.
The AnimalBiome Gut Health Test and PetPace HRV Smart Collar are optional tools introduced at Month 2 and integrated into Month 3 sessions for dogs whose Day 45 assessment data suggests a biological layer may be contributing to behavioral challenges. Most dogs do not need them — the behavioral and nervous system work is sufficient. But for dogs who are stuck despite consistent, motivated handler effort, these tools reveal what training alone cannot. Lorrie identifies the right candidates from your field data. You can ask about this at enrollment.
Day Training sessions are conducted in the field in and around North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Lorrie works with your dog four times per month for the full day — and you are present at every pickup for the Experiential Handler Learning segment, where you practice in the field with Lorrie in real time. If you are not local to Rhode Island, the Standard Hybrid Track is the right fit for you.
Not another technique. Not another course. A handler who finally meets them where they are — with a nervous system that makes sense to theirs. 90 days. Two tracks. One irrefutable result.
