Currently on a road trip with Alpha and can’t believe how well behaved he has been! He wasn’t a fan of his crate in this new environment (refusing to get in after a while), but we went back to basics with shorter distance and duration, plus some high value treats. While he still prefers to be around me, he is back to following “place” command and having dedicated downtime with less stress in the crate. He’s also had lots of interactions with other dogs - learning to be much more polite with his introductions and disengaging quicker when other dogs aren’t interested. I’m feeling so empowered and in tune with Alpha thanks to everything we have learned from the Walky’s team!

If you’ve ever felt stuck with your dog’s progress… this is the one to watch. We broke down: 🐾 Why your dog isn’t actually “not listening” 🐾 How learning really happens (hint: it’s not in comfort) 🐾 How to use “YES” and “AH” to create crystal clear communication 🐾 Real examples using crate & place training This is the shift most dog owners miss… and once you see it, everything changes. Full pdf attached below for you to dive deep into the rabbit hole with me! 👇 Now I want to hear from you: What clicked the most? What are you struggling with right now? Where do you feel your dog hits that “threshold”? Drop your questions below and we’ll jump in and help 🤝 Let’s keep building calm, clarity, and control together 🐾

While cooking in the kitchen today, I realised Alpha wasn’t on “place” within view where he normally would be. Instead, I found he had taken himself to his crate in the other room for a nap. When I first came to Walkys, Alpha couldn’t be left alone because he was so anxious. While the crate training was really tough for the first few months (and he even broke out of a couple of crates in the process), today was a nice reminder of how far we’ve come in the last 9 months. Couldn’t have done it without the Walkys team and community!

If you missed today’s session, the replay is now up in the community. We dug into genetic fulfilment and why so many behaviour issues stick around when a dog’s natural needs are not being met properly. This is one of those pieces that makes a lot of things suddenly click. You will also meet one of the two pups Sian and Lex rescued this week, Sunny & Stormy, who are currently looking for their forever homes. Absolute legends and a really special moment to share with the community. Well worth the watch if you want more clarity, not more noise.
