Before we head into the weekend, let’s see those faces! 😍 Drop your dog’s name below and tell us one thing you’ve been working on with them this week. And if you caught this week’s video on reinforcing recall, this is your chance to put it into practice! 🎯 Have you had a chance to reinforce your dog for coming back to you? What’s been working well — or where are you still finding it tricky? Remember: every good recall is worth celebrating. 💪🐶 Let’s get the Friday roll call going… WHO’S HERE? 👇

Last week I saw a dog that unfortunately was attacked because of an off-lead situation. How is your dog's recall? This is one of the first commands they should learn, mainly for safety. For roads, people, other dogs. So what DO you do if your dog is off-lead - but already by your side - and you need to have them change direction (for example if another off-lead dog is coming)? 'Come' isn't quite the right command. In this week's pinned video Amy shows how to practice this change-direction command that's useful for off-lead walks. https://www.skool.com/animal-campfire/this-weeks-video-79af816a

It can be SO confusing. Your dog is overweight, but you've tried. You've done the 'feed less- exercise more' thing that your vet may say as you're walking out of the 15-minute consultation. What would really work is a nurse weight loss clinic. That's the gold standard. It's also the most difficult. Because it's a lot of effort to go back and forth to the clinic. And so much of 'life' gets in the way between the 30-day visits. Makes sense that 1/2 of people struggle with their dog's weight. If you're wracking your brains about what the heck why is this happening, this 4-min video is where to start. P.S. And if you're ready for more 1:1 guided support with a vet nurse - sign up at our Dog Weight Loss Skool in the classroom, vet nurse Amy will see you inside!
