Did you miss this week’s live?! Catch up here! Do you know what’s in your dog’s food?! Take a look!

👀 Eye Contact = Engagement Following this week’s challenge, I’ve put together a short video showing how I build eye contact and engagement with my dog. Eye contact isn’t about staring competitions—it’s about teaching your dog that checking in with you is rewarding. When your dog chooses to focus on you, training becomes easier, distractions become less powerful, and your relationship grows stronger. In the video, I walk through some simple exercises you can start using straight away to encourage your dog to offer attention voluntarily. Give it a watch, then let me know in the comments:🐾 How did your dog get on with this week’s challenge? 🐾 What situations do you find it hardest to keep your dog’s attention? Looking forward to hearing your progress!

This Week’s Challenge: The 3-Second Check-In Game Want your dog to pay more attention to you on walks without constantly calling their name? Try this: ➡️ On your next walk, every time your dog voluntarily looks at you, mark it with a cheerful “Yes!” (or click if you use a clicker) and give them a treat. That’s it. No commands, no asking for attention. Just reward the choice to check in with you. ‼️ Why it works: Dogs repeat behaviors that pay off. When checking in becomes rewarding, your dog starts choosing to stay connected to you—even when there are distractions around. Your challenge this week: - Do this for 5 minutes per walk. - Count how many check-ins happen naturally. - Notice if the number increases by the end of the week. - 👇 Share in the comments: How many check-ins did your dog offer on Day 1?
