Missed the live session? Here's the replay 👇 This one's a fun game you can start playing with your pup today. All you need is an upturned bucket and a handful of treats. On the surface it's a simple trick: front paws up on the bucket. But underneath, you're building three things at once: rear-end awareness (most dogs genuinely don't know where their back legs are!), confidence with their own body and new objects, and real engagement with you. Your dog learns to think, offer behaviours, and work with you instead of just following a treat around. And here's the bonus: once your dog can steer their own back end, this little bucket game becomes the foundation for a beautiful heel. You get a dog that knows how to line themselves up beside you instead of being dragged into position. In the replay I walk you through: - Getting those front paws up (and making the bucket the best game in the house) - The first pivot steps, and the "money moment" to watch for - How the game grows into heel position over time It's only a few minutes a day, it works indoors on a rainy arvo, and dogs absolutely love it. Your challenge this week: 2–3 three-minute sessions a day for the next 7 days. Film your progress and chuck it up here in the community, day 1 wobbles and all! Cheer each other on, share what's working, help each other troubleshoot. Let's see how far these pups come in a week 🐾🪣 Can't wait to see your videos! 🎉

@Amanda Futterleib It's so rewarding when it all starts coming together!! Check out Freya showing off her next level loose leash walking!!

What a little legend @Michelle Powell We're just working on some leash manners after his level training. What a lovely boy!

What a cracking session! We were joined LIVE by Pat and Deb from Lifewise Pet Food for an open Q&A covering some of the biggest questions dog owners ask about nutrition, health and behaviour. We dug into topics like: 🐾 Why dogs eat grass and even poo (and when it’s actually a concern) 🐾 The truth about probiotics, gut health and when supplements can help 🐾 Why overweight dogs aren’t always just “overeating” 🐾 The gut-brain connection and how nutrition can influence anxiety and behaviour 🐾 Food allergies vs food sensitivities, plus why itchy dogs can be so confusing 🐾 What actually makes Lifewise different from the big pet food brands 🐾 How long it really takes before you see meaningful changes after changing your dog’s diet Whether you’re feeding Lifewise already or simply want to understand how nutrition affects your dog’s health and behaviour, this session is packed with practical information and myth-busting advice. Grab a coffee, jump into the replay, and if you’ve still got questions, drop them below. We’ll make sure they get answered. 👇 We’d love to hear your biggest takeaway after watching!

Nobody here has a broken dog, so why do we all keep trying to fix them? That's the question this session pulls apart. Fixing is reactive and brittle: you're forever one step behind, stopping behaviours after they've already happened. Developing is proactive and it sticks, because you're building the calm and the impulse control underneath, not just slapping a rule on top. I cover both sides honestly, including when a quick correction actually helps and when it sets you back. You'll walk away with one simple challenge to run all week, and a completely different way of looking at your dog.
