🏆 7 DAY SHOW UP CHALLENGE WINNER! 🏆 A massive congratulations to Jen and Maizie for absolutely smashing the 7 Day Show Up Challenge! 💙🐕 This challenge wasn't about being perfect — it was about showing up, taking action and being consistent with your dog every single day. Jen has done exactly that with Maizie, sharing the wins, working through the challenges and continuing to build their relationship along the way. 👏 7 days. 7 opportunities to make progress. And they SHOWED UP! Congratulations Jen & Maizie — very well deserved! 🙌💙 Shaping the next level!💪🐕

Although the challenge has finished we took Maizie to a new area today to see how she would go & practice some tasks & obedience while there but mostly just had some fun today as she definitely needs days like this too. The Bone yard near Kiama Downs. She was pretty good overall & not to many distractions at first until all the people started coming. She didn't bother about any of them, just looked, until a scooper diver with all his gear came along & then she barked. I just threw a few treats & said "find it" & she did & quickly lost interest in the fella. So it was an absolutely beautiful morning & she just loved the water & playing with her ball. We also got some nice loose leash walking back to the car today @Matthew Marsh so I asked hubby to video it. I was pretty happy with this effort today. 💜😊

🐾 Gosh, I LOVE Walkys Dog Training Academy! ❤️🐾 I’ve had so many wins with Walkys, but the one that stands out for me right now is just how wonderfully Archie has progressed with his crate training. 🥹❤️ I honestly never thought I would be able to crate train Archie at home as well as he does at Walkys. I think a big part of that was my softness for him — because, let’s face it, I absolutely LOVE my boy! 🥰 But last week, while Archie was recovering from his injury and spending more time resting, I noticed that his crate training had taken on a whole new level. It was beautiful to witness. ❤️ I’m so incredibly proud of Archie, the Walkys team AND myself. 👏👏👏 I’ve learnt that with Archie, it’s about consistency, trial and error, a massive amount of patience and, most importantly, guidance from @Nath Morrison and the rest of the wonderful Walkys team. Archie is now learning that his crate is a safe and comfortable place. 🐾💙 On Saturday, I had Archie in his crate for over an hour while I was cleaning. I was walking in and out of the room, making noises around the house and he remained settled. This was HUGE for us! 🙌🏼 This milestone has connected me so much more with my boy and has helped me understand how Archie learns and how a leader works with their dog. It has opened my eyes to just how much we can achieve when we understand our dogs and give them the right guidance. I love my boy more than words can say, and I am SO incredibly proud of him. 💙🐾 But the training doesn’t stop here! 😁 Our next goal is for me to feel comfortable leaving Archie in his crate overnight while we sleep. Then, eventually, we’ll work towards him being comfortable in his crate while I leave the house. Step by step. No rushing. We’ll get there! 💪🏼🐾 And to Walkys — THANK YOU! ❤️ For showing me that what I once thought was IMPOSSIBLE is actually POSSIBLE. 👏👏👏 Sometimes the biggest win isn’t just what our dog learns… it’s what WE learn along the way. ❤️🐾
