@Nath Morrison @Sian Isaac @Lex Stephens One week later after following your advice on Archie Barking when I put him outside at night while I am at my daughter’s place. Look at him!!! I have incorporated a morning walk before work in a park on the extended lead, with a structured walk to and from the park. Some little training on the structured walk (sitting before we cross the road). And then having some free time at the Park with the extended lead. Then once we get back home he has breakfast and some crate time. Then when I get home from work he has dinner and crate time again. So far so good! Thank you team for your input of helping me with Archie and his Barking when I leave him outside at night while I am visiting me daughter 👏👏👏

I want to wish all our beautiful mothers on here a Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you have a wonderful day and get spoiled. Lex :-)

Happy beautiful Saturday! Please send me pictures of you and your babies would love to see what you’re up to today! Lex :-)

Watch for the leash pop and Murphy fall back in line 🤓 Reality was a fair chunk of time doing back and forth walking in the driveway before heading out!

The Calm Collective, we unpacked one of the biggest questions in dog training… 👉 Are treats rewards… or are they actually bribery? We broke down the massive difference between using food strategically to reinforce behaviour vs needing to wave a treat around just to get your dog to listen. We also covered: 🐾 The discomfort threshold and why real progress happens there 🐾 Why owners often stop progressing once things get “fine” 🐾 Anxiety on walks and what’s actually happening 🐾 Why behaviour isn’t truly changed if it only works in perfect conditions One of the biggest takeaways: If your dog only listens when they SEE the reward first… that’s not reliability, that’s negotiation. Real behavioural change comes from clarity, consistency, accountability, and building a dog that understands the behaviour itself pays off. The replay is now live👊🐕 Watch it back and drop your biggest takeaway below.
