🐶 MYTH or FACT? "Dogs feel guilty when they’ve done something wrong."
What do you think—true or false? 🤔 Drop your answer in the comments before reading on! ⬇️

👇 Answer: ❌ MYTH!
That guilty look—ears back, whale eyes, head down—doesn’t mean your dog “feels bad” for what they did. Instead, it’s a response to your tone and body language.

Dogs don’t connect past actions with current consequences the way humans do. If you come home and react to a mess, your dog isn’t feeling guilt—they’re reacting to your emotions in the moment.

🐾 "Wrong Way!" – It’s more than just a command; it’s a game-changer! 🎯

It’s not the gear. 🎯
It’s how you use it.

💡 Pulling happens when the dog thinks that’s how walks work—charge ahead, get what you want.
But here's the truth:
👉 It's not the collar.
👉 It's not the harness.
🔥 It's the leash handling that matters.

If tension = movement, your dog learns that pulling works.
The fix? Teach a brand-new pattern. One that’s calm, connected, and actually works for both of you.

🚨🤔 Should you buy a slip lead?🚨

I get it—you’ve been told a slip lead, prong collar, or anti-pull harness will fix your dog’s pulling. It sounds simple, right?

Your starting to think... if I can make it uncomfortable enough when my dog pulls... then my dog will walk nicely on leash.

It doesn't work that way, here's why.

Dogs have an inbuilt survival instinct to hide and ignore pain!

They will put up with anything to get what they want and keep themselves safe... that's why they still pull.

It's a fact - equipment doesn’t teach.

The real fix? Making it more rewarding for your dog to want to stay connected with you.

In this video, I’m walking my dogs with the leash draped over ONE finger. No harsh tools. No yanking. No fights. Just clear understanding.

👉 Control isn’t the answer—Connection is.

You can keep battling your dog with equipment that only masks the problem… or you can teach them the right way—just like the countless happy owners in The PATHWAY. https://focusonfundogtraining.com/

"He Loves to Attack the Vacuum. Solution?
One Cue = Instant Calm."

Herding breeds need to control 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.

Science proves your dog’s brain lights up with joy just from your scent—you are family to them.
So when things go wrong, remember: they’re not misbehaving, they’re learning.
Reprimands, harsh methods and unkind equipment aren’t love. Our dogs deserve the same patience, kindness and love they give us every single day.

Your scent triggers love in your dog’s brain
Science has finally confirmed what dog lovers have always known: dogs love their owners more than food or other dogs. In a groundbreaking fMRI study led by Emory University neuroscientist Gregory Berns, researchers discovered that when dogs smell their owner, the caudate nucleus—part of the brain responsible for joy, reward, and affection—lights up far more intensely than when they smell food or other dogs.

This powerful reaction means your scent doesn’t just trigger recognition—it sparks a strong emotional response, a biological signature of love and bonding. Dogs aren’t just connected to their owners because of care or food; they have a deeper, neurological attachment.

The study, reported in National Geographic and Nature Scientific Reports, solidifies what dog owners have always felt: to your dog, you’re not just a caretaker—you’re family. This scientific breakthrough proves that the bond between humans and dogs is much more profound than we ever realized, rooted deeply in our shared evolutionary history.

Next time your dog looks at you with those big, loving eyes, know that it’s not just affection—it’s a brain-wide celebration of love.
