  • Why Pushing Your Dog Off Doesn’t Stop Jumping

    Why Pushing Your Dog Off Doesn’t Stop Jumping
    Feb 4 2026
    Your dog jumps.
    You push them off.
    You tell them “off.”And somehow… nothing changes.

    If that sounds familiar, this episode will likely hit home. In this podcast, I break down why pushing your dog off doesn’t stop jumping, and how that very reaction often reinforces the behaviour instead of fixing it. Most dog owners are not doing anything wrong. They are simply responding in ways that make sense to humans, but land very differently for dogs.

    Dog jumping is not a respect issue.
    It is not defiance.
    And it is rarely solved with more force, louder cues, or physical handling.

    We talk about:

    • Why pushing, grabbing, or holding dogs down often rewards jumping
    • What dogs are actually learning during excited greetings
    • Why telling a dog “off” does not teach them what to do instead
    • How jumping turns into a habit through repetition and attention
    • What calm, clear responses actually change the behaviour long term

    This episode is not about being permissive.
    It is not about overpowering your dog.
    It is about changing what gets reinforced in real life moments, especially at the door.

    If your dog jumps on you or your guests, this conversation will help you see what is happening differently and give you a clearer starting point for change, without frustration or physical corrections. If you want something practical to follow alongside this episode, you can download the Stop the Jumping Workbook, designed to be used in real life, not skimmed and forgotten.

    Calm is teachable.
    Behaviour follows clarity.

  • The Fulfillment Formula, A Reality Check for Your Dog’s Daily Life

    The Fulfillment Formula, A Reality Check for Your Dog’s Daily Life
    Jan 30 2026
    If your dog feels busy, unsettled, reactive, or hard to live with, this episode is your reality check.

    Most behavior issues do not come from stubbornness, dominance, or a lack of training. They come from a daily life that does not make sense to the dog living it.

    In this episode, I break down the Fulfillment Formula and why it matters far more than most people realize. Not as a concept. Not as a trend. As a practical way of structuring a dog’s day so their nervous system can actually settle.

    We take an honest look at what many dogs experience instead. Random activity. Inconsistent routines. Lots of stimulation. Very little purpose. And then we act surprised when calm never shows up.

    You will learn:
    • What real fulfillment looks like in a dog’s daily life
    • Why work, rest, and play must exist in the right order
    • How missing pieces show up as behavioral problems
    • Why more exercise alone does not fix restlessness or reactivity
    • How structure creates calm, reliability, and easier living This is not about doing more training.

    It is about building a day your dog can understand and settle into. If you have ever felt like your dog is always “on,” struggles to switch off, or seems unaffected by corrections or cues, this episode will help you see why. Calm is not trained into a dog.
    It is created through clarity, rhythm, and routine. Listen in, reflect honestly, and take what helps.

  • Barking With Purpose: What Your Dog Is Really Saying

    Barking With Purpose: What Your Dog Is Really Saying
    Jan 23 2026
    Barking is one of the most common reasons dog owners reach out for help.
    It is also one of the most misunderstood behaviours.Most people want the barking to stop.
    Very few stop to ask why it is happening in the first place.In this episode, I break down barking for what it actually is, communication. Not defiance. Not stubbornness. Not a dog trying to drive you crazy.We talk about:• Why barking becomes background noise in so many homes
    • What dogs are trying to express through different types of barking
    • How context changes the meaning of the sound
    • Why correcting barking without understanding it often makes things worse
    • What clarity, structure, and listening actually look like in real lifeThis is not about silencing your dog.
    It is about understanding what is missing, unclear, or unmanaged in their world and responding in a way that actually reduces barking long term.If you have ever thought, “They bark for no reason,” this episode will change how you hear your dog.Calm is teachable.
    Silence comes from clarity.🎧 Listen in, and if this episode hits home, make sure you are subscribed for more practical, real world dog training conversations.
