Goodness me, re-training a dog can feel exhausting!

😵‍💫 Eyes in the back of your head.

😵‍💫 Cue after cue after cue.

😵‍💫 Chicken spilling out of your pockets.

🤔 The doubts that creep in: “Am I just bribing him? Shouldn’t he know how to behave by now?”

In this episode, you’ll discover:

✅ The critical mistake that keeps dog owners stuck at Level 1 forever

✅ When to move onto Level 2 to rewire your dog’s brain for lasting calm

✅ Real-world examples from owners combining both strategies for genuine stress free walks

Hit play here and find out: are YOU ready for Level 2?
