🤔 Have you Taught Your Dog To Pull? 🤔

I know you didn't mean to, but here's the thing.

Dogs and puppies are not pre programmed.

They learn through experience.

And from their point of view.

Pulling gets what they want.

It's simple to teach a dog not to pull.

Once you stop trying to stop the pulling...

And teach what you want your dog TO DO instead.

What if you can't Supervise your Puppy?

🚫 A crate isn’t your best option.

Puppies need space to move, explore, and play—even when you’re not around.
It’s essential for their mental and physical wellbeing.

✅ A secure pen or puppy-proofed area gives them freedom without the risk of chewing cords, swallowing socks, or learning bad habits.

Crates can be helpful for short naps or travel…
But long-term confinement? It can do more harm than good.

Set your pup up for success—
Because good habits come from good environments.

🚫 Big Mistake—Your dog barks, lunges, or snaps…
You panic and drag them away.

And without knowing it… you’ve just reinforced the very behaviour you want to stop.
Because in your dog’s mind?
➡️ Barking = I got to leave.
➡️ Lunging = That scary thing went away.
➡️ Snapping = I got what I wanted.

😬 The reaction worked.

But here’s the thing:
Your dog isn’t being “bad.”
They’re worried, overwhelmed, and over-aroused.
And they don’t know how else to feel safe.

The solution?
Change their emotional state.

And here’s the best part:
You can do that. Without yelling. Without corrections. And without yanking them away.

That’s exactly what I teach inside The PATHWAY,
A step-by-step system that changes your dog’s emotional state so they want to listen and respond.

✨ It’s the starting point to a dog that makes calm, thoughtful choices—because they feel safe, confident, and connected.

The way you “socialise” your dog sets them up for confidence or fear.

It's not about making them meet everyone and everything.

It’s about letting your dog observe, adapt, and build confidence at their own pace.

Because here’s the truth:
➡️ If your dog is on a leash, they feel pressured.

It’s a major reason dogs lose confidence and become reactive.

But it's never to late to change things.
🐾 Watch this video to learn a calmer, smarter way to help your dog feel safe and capable in the world.

😩 Still Struggling With Leash Pulling?

It’s so frustrating, isn’t it?
You imagine peaceful walks with your dog…
But instead, you get dragged and stressed before you even make it down the driveway.

You’ve tried it all:
🔁 Stopping and turning
🍖 Treats and luring
🐕‍🦺 Harnesses and collars that feel a bit too harsh…
And nothing works.

Here’s the thing:
Pulling isn’t disobedience.
Your dog genuinely thinks that’s how you’re meant to walk together—
Just pull hard enough, and eventually, they get to where they want to go.

Even if the collar’s hurting or the harness pinches—it’s worth it.
👉 Like walking home in shoes that give you blisters—
It hurts, but you’ll do it if it gets you there.
That’s exactly how your dog sees it.

They’re not trying to be difficult.
They just haven’t been shown a better way.

Dogs repeat what works for them.

So instead of trying to stop the pulling... Flip the script.
Teach what your want them TO DO instead :-)

It doesn’t matter if your dog is 8 weeks or 8 years old.

Picture this:
What if no one ever taught you how to drive?
You’d stall. Panic. Feel completely overwhelmed.

But with a few lessons with a driving instructor… you know what to do.
Your dog’s in the same boat.
They’re not being difficult—they simply don't know what you want.

With a few games, here’s what changes:
✔️ Your arm feels relaxed
✔️ You look forward to walks again
✔️ And best of all, you’ll feel that calm, joyful connection you always hoped for when you got a dog in the first place.

🌟 Does your dog light up when there is no treat in your hand? 🌟

Treats and toys are great reinforcers and you should use them.

But they don’t build the connection.
Praise and personal play do that.

A Powerful Connection comes from you—not your pocket.

It’s easy to skip genuine praise when you’re focused on handing over a treat.
Your attention is on the food… not the moment.
And your dog feels that.

Your dog wants you to invest more of yourself.
Your voice. Your energy. Your expression.
That’s what really matters.

That’s when your dog lights up.
✨ Sparkling eyes. Pricked ears. Happy Tail.
They crave that interaction.

Next time your dog does something brilliant…
Skip the treat and Praise like you mean it.
Then ask yourself:
Did their response feel different?

A Powerful Connection begins with you.

Beware of this Big Mistake!"

When your dog pulls you toward what they want...

It teaches them that pulling works—and they’ll keep doing it.

The good news?

You can teach your dog to walk calmly on a loose leash, without continually stopping... without corrections... without equipment designed to cause discomfort.

Does your dog Love to Attack the Vacuum?

Herding breeds live for movement.

And for many, the vacuum is public enemy #1.

Barking. Lunging. Biting the nozzle. Total chaos.

But what if your dog could learn self-control?

Not through yelling or blocking… but by knowing exactly what to do instead.

In this video, you’ll see my dog go from over-aroused to calmly lying on his bed—after just one cue.

Because here’s the truth:

Your dog isn’t being bad.

They just need a job to do.

This kind of transformation is exactly what we teach inside The PATHWAY—with no corrections or harsh methods. Just clarity, confidence, and joy.

🎥 Watch now and imagine what calm could feel like in your home.
