🎯 How long will it take?
It’s the big question, isn’t it? And here’s the honest answer … it takes time.
I know that’s not the quick-fix response most people hope for. TV shows might make it seem like everything can be sorted in a neat 30-minute episode, but real life? It’s far more complex than that. Those programmes often skip the struggle, effort, and the time needed—and honestly, I find them hard to watch!
Over the years, I’ve become pretty good at giving an idea of how long progress might take, but the truth is, every dog, situation, and family is unique. There are too many variables to guarantee a timeline or outcome.
For some, progress happens quickly. For others, it’s a gradual journey over months of consistent effort.
And here’s where we often begin.
👉 Start small. Set realistic, bite-sized goals.
Instead of expecting a complete transformation overnight, focus on manageable behaviours to work on daily. Small wins build momentum, boost your motivation, and set the foundation for bigger successes down the road.
Remember: Progress doesn’t always look like a straight line. It’s okay to adjust goals as you go, celebrate small achievements, and be kind to yourself (and your dog!) along the way.
