👣🐕 This is what winning looks like: walking calmly, ignoring the chaos, and just keeping it moving. 🚗👶 No lunging, no staring, no stopping to investigate—just leadership in action.

Distractions aren’t meant for reacting—they’re meant for practicing calm. The more you guide, the more your dog learns: *follow me, not the circus.* 🎪✨

🎉🐾 Lady’s got her cap, her leash, and her diploma—she’s officially a graduate! When we first met, Lady was running the apartment like a boss, barking at windows, attacking the vacuum, and giving Jennifer daily “cardio sessions” on walks. Fast-forward to today: Lady passed dogs in the park without losing her cool, strutted into the dog park like a champ, and even learned that *Jennifer’s space is off-limits to her royal bulldozing.* 👑

Of course, Lady still thinks she’s in charge sometimes (don’t they all?), but now Jennifer knows exactly when—and how—to remind her who’s the real pack leader. The transformation has been incredible, and we couldn’t be prouder of this duo.

Congrats Lady & Jennifer—you’ve earned this one! 🐕✨

Stella had a few things to say about new dogs on walks. And about new puppies in her house. Loud things. Possibly with some charging.

Jessica wanted help with Stella’s leash reactivity and decided to add a tiny 1.5 lb floof to the family the same week. Bold choice, we respect it. 😅

But hey, Stella just graduated! 🎓 She’s keeping it together on walks (mostly), sniffing the playpen instead of plotting how to bulldoze it, and even giving some tail wags to the new sibling. Shoutout to Jessica for doing the work—and to Stella for deciding NOT to eat her brother. 💪🐾

🎯 High distractions. Zero excuses.
This dog just nailed a stay while everything in the world tried to distract him (okay, maybe just some squirrels, construction, and a rogue leaf).

And when we said “come,” he came like we were giving out steak.
(We weren’t. We don’t train with food. He just loves the assignment.)

When your dog walks past a buffet like it’s no big deal—that’s leadership, baby. 💪🐾

Pack walks aren’t just about exercise—they’re about connection. 🐾💪

Walking together creates structure, builds trust, and reinforces your role as the calm, confident leader your dogs need. 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

Regular walks as a group can reduce anxiety, minimize leash reactivity, and even cut down on sibling squabbles at home. Think of it as team-building, but furrier.
