Missed it live? Here's the full session with @Nath Morrison @Matthew Marsh Polly & Fred. Here's the honest summary: we barely touched the lead. Because loose lead walking isn't a lead problem, it's a relationship problem. If your dog doesn't want to be near you off the lead, no amount of equipment is going to fix that on the lead. What's in it: - Why your dog pulls (opposition reflex, years of reinforcement history, and no clear leader) - Follow Me: how to build a dog who chooses to catch up rather than one you're constantly calling - And so much more worth listening to - Your homework this week: Five minutes of Follow Me in the yard, before the lead goes on, every day. No lead, no walk. Just you leaving and your dog choosing to catch up. Don't rush to the lead work. The engagement is the work. Post below and tell me how day one goes. If it falls apart, say so and I'll tell you where.

It's that time again Walkys Fam! Weekly Wins no matter how small you think they are, they're still Wins! Let's go!

I'm usually not keen on letting Maizie free because when out & about recall can definitely be hit & miss especially around distractions like birds, kids, dogs etc. So today because I felt it was very safe & low distractions I finally let go of the 10m lead to actually really test Maizie's recall & she did really well. She's not really a treat eater on walks (I think to thirsty & puffed probably) so I do keep her ball in my pocket in case I have to give it a squeeze/sqeak to ensure she'll come back if calling her doesn't actually work. Lol😂 Any tips or advice trainers if you can see is needed from the videos please let me know. Last video is when we first got there & her nose barely leaves the ground. She's sooo scent driven & just looooooves this freedom & is so happy. 💜😊

I understand this is probably a very broad question but what is the best starting approach to try and stop a dog taking things she shouldn’t 😆, She always finds something to take and run away with, I know she’s doing it for attention in the hope that we will come follow her but I can’t always do that when I’m tending to my newborn Any little tips or tricks would be great! 😊

🎉 Huge congratulations to Grizz & Bonnie on passing their Level 2 assessment! 🐾💙 These two have worked hard to build calmness, engagement and reliable impulse control, and it’s been fantastic to see their confidence and consistency grow with every session. They've both shown they're ready to take the next step in their training journey! 🌟 Well done, Grizz & Bonnie—we're so proud of you and your pawrents! Bring on Level 3! 🎓👏💙 @Trevor Spiteri
