I don't have grass at my place so when I take the dogs for a walk on grass the thing that seems to excite them most is the grass. They don't often lunge at other dogs (though they do some times) or people or bikes but they pull on the lead to sniff the grass. Is that a thing? I do scent activities with them during the day. I scatter feed, give then snuffle balls, hide kibble under balls in muffin tins, etc. Do all dogs do this?

You’re here. And that matters 💛 Walkys exists for dog parents who love deeply but feel stretched thin. The barking, the pulling, the chaos that sneaks into everyday life.

I’m Kelly and this is Bruno I’ve joined Walkys because I’ve been struggling with Bruno's big energy and overexcitement—pulling on walks, jumping up on everyone and just the lack of confidence and control i feel in our day to day. I’m excited to work on building more structure and communication so he can relax and we can both enjoy life more calmly.

I know this isn't related to training but one thing I'm ever so grateful as Buddy's owner is finding an amazing Babysitter if we should go away somewhere. I found Mel through Madpaws babysitter service. She is down in Kiama. She has been invested with Buddy's training during his time so when he stays with her she can keep it going. I get regular updates throughout the day what his up to and as you can see his having a ball, and even though she is missing her snuggles on the lounge with him she is respecting his training journey and is encouraging him to be on place on his day bed. When his with Mel I can relax knowing his very much loved.
