Does your dog struggle to stay focused around other dogs, people, or everyday distractions? The SuperBowls pattern game might be exactly what you need.

This illustrated infographic breaks down Leslie McDevitt's SuperBowls game — from the Control Unleashed® program — into five clear, easy-to-follow steps. Whether you're new to pattern games or looking for a quick visual reference to share with clients, this guide gives you everything you need to get started.

What you'll learn:

How to set up your bowls and run the game from scratch. How eye contact becomes the dog's "start button" — giving them agency and control over the pace. How to read your dog's signals and adjust the environment accordingly. How to generalise the game gradually from a quiet room to real-world distractions.

The SuperBowls game works because it combines the predictability of a repeating pattern with the counterconditioning power of food — all while keeping the dog in control. It is one of the most practical tools available for reactive, anxious, or easily distracted dogs.

This guide is ideal for dog owners managing reactivity, trainers looking for a clear client handout, and anyone who wants a handy visual reference.
