Hey dog lover!

Okay, so here’s the deal…
You’ve done the training. Your dog knows the cues.
And yet… every walk feels like a strategy session, every outing ends in stress, and you're still left wondering, “Why isn’t this working?”

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In today’s chat, I’m walking you through three signs that the real issue isn’t obedience—it’s something deeper.

We’ll unpack why your dog might be better off-leash than on, what your exhaustion is trying to tell you, and how to stop micromanaging and start leading in a way that actually feels good for both of you.

And of course, I’ll share what you can do to turn things around—without adding more training to your already overflowing plate.

Let’s trade pressure for partnership.
Let’s build trust instead of managing behaviour.
Let’s get curious (and maybe say “how interesting!” once or twice 😉).

So grab your tea, leash, or laundry basket and let’s dive in.

With heart and a whole lotta calm,
– Tracy 💛
