Hello! We joined a couple weeks ago, aiming for a calmer Jack Russel (if that’s even possible), less lead pulling, impulse control, boundaries, door manners and maybe become friends with the cats? Charlie is about 7 mths old and sleeps in his crate all night from when we got him home at 9 weeks. he’s in there from 7-9 hours. Weekdays he is in the backyard for 8-9 hours on his own. Seems to sleep all day in his outside crate as my camera never catches him barking or playing on his own. Recently starting sending him to doggy daycare 2-3 days a week. When we are home he runs around the house and sometimes chills with the kids on the sofa. He only uses crate for sleeping. Do I need to start putting him in the crate during the day when I want him to be calm? I don’t want him to associate it with punishment.

When it comes to the dogs in our care, we don’t guess. We don’t follow trends. We don’t chase flashy marketing. We look at outcomes. Over the past period of feeding LifeWise, the results across our dogs have been incredibly consistent: ✔️ Lean, healthy body condition ✔️ Solid, well-formed stools ✔️ Shiny coats ✔️ Steady, balanced energy ✔️ Clearer focus in training For us, nutrition is one of the five pillars of fulfilment. If a dog’s gut is off, their focus is off. If their energy is unstable, their behaviour follows. LifeWise gives us: • High quality animal protein • Balanced fat levels • Thoughtful formulation • Consistency across batches And most importantly… it works in the real world. Now let’s be clear. Whatever you’re feeding right now might be completely fine. It might be working well for your dog. Or… it could be an underlying contributor to things like: • Itchy skin • Poor coat condition • Loose stools • Energy spikes and crashes • Inconsistent behaviour Food is foundational. Sometimes small changes create big shifts. What I Recommend 👇 If you’re unsure, don’t guess. Call Deb, the LifeWise canine nutritionist.
