Dog training doesn’t start with 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 dog.
It starts with 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 energy.

Your mindset, emotions, tension, and confidence shape how your dog feels, responds, and learns — whether you realise it or not.

This February inside the Academy, we’re diving into how your emotional state affects your dog’s behaviour, focus, and trust.

🐾 Weekly practical tasks
🎥 Video exercises to see what your dog sees
🧠 Live NLP call on 4th February
💬 Supportive community discussion

If you want to understand how your energy influences your dog — and learn how to use it on purpose — join us inside the Academy this February.

After reflecting on how I’ve approached the last few days of walks, one thing has stood out more than anything else.

The shift in 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 mattered.

🐾Slowing down.
🐾Being calmer before we even left the house.
🐾Allowing my dogs the time and space to process — without rushing them through situations.

That calmer approach meant 𝗳𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
Not because my dogs suddenly changed…
but because the 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 for them did.

It’s been a powerful reminder that training doesn’t always start with the dog.
Sometimes, it starts with 𝘂𝘀.🚶♂️

So this month inside 𝗣𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝗨𝗽 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆, we’re focusing on the humans — 𝘯𝘰𝘵 the dogs.
On how our energy, presence, and mindset shape the walk long before anything happens.

Because when we change how we show up,
our dogs feel it — and respond to it.

Today I chose the busy route again, but after such a calm walk yesterday i didn't have the same outlook about going out. I was much happier to go out and build on yesterday.

Just a calmer energy — and actually looking forward to the walk.

My approach was different before we even left the house.
🐾Slower.
🐾More intentional.
🐾More present.

That calm carried through the walk itself.

🐾I thought ahead.
🐾I gave my dogs space and guidance without rushing.

And it reminded me of something important:

𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴.

🐾When you’re not driven by adrenaline…
🐾when you don’t feel like you need to get it “right”…
🐾everything softens.

I always say to set yourself up for success, if you arent feeling the walk, don't go out. Choose another time when you are feeling right. Going out when your head isnt in the right place may allow your dog the opportunity to practice unwanted behaviours.

Mindset is so important when walking out of the door! 🐾✨

A dog appeared around the corner.

Not huge. Not scary. Just… a test.

I paused.
Took a breath.
Adjusted my pace.
Gave my dogs space and guidance.

This is exactly why I chose the busy walk.
Not to avoid challenges.
But to practice noticing them early.
To stay calm.
To show my dogs it’s all manageable.

Progress isn’t always dramatic.
Sometimes it’s in the tiny, quiet choices:
Slowing down.
Scanning ahead.
Being present.

The more I bring the right energy, the more confident they feel.
And the more confident I feel too.

Small victories stick. 🐾✨

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 I chose the busy walk.
Not the 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱.
Not the 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 where we can slip off the trodden path and avoid everyone.

Walking two big, potentially reactive dogs in a place where another dog can appear around any corner isn’t easy. But today wasn’t about easy — it was about growth.

What really mattered on this walk wasn’t the location… it was how I showed up. I needed to bring the right mindset, the right presence, and a calm confidence so my dogs could see that it was okay. That potential situations aren’t threats, they’re opportunities to train, learn, and succeed.

This walk was as much training for 𝙢𝙚 as it was for 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢.
Reading the environment.
Spotting situations early.
Creating space.
Making good choices.

And doing it without rushing, without a deadline, without “needing to get somewhere.” When you give yourself time and space, everything changes.

Not every walk has to be like this. But sometimes, choosing the harder path — and showing up intentionally — is how confidence, resilience, and trust are built. 🐾✨

Clemmie loves helping with Zeus's Physio (plus check out that back end starting to straighten out!)

I'm teaching Clemmie about space and using your body to communicate with the dogs. Zeus is a very good role model for her to work with, despite being an absolute oaf most of the time, he's very body conscious and gentle when being led by her.

Fascinating to watch their bond grow through this next part of their lives.

We are under the wonderful Lucy for Zeus's physio, and after his first session last week he has been much happier and more alert and engaged! It's like he's gone back to being a 4 year old again 😉
