First up… THE WILD DOGS ARE ON THE BOARD! 🙌🏻🔥 Huge congratulations to @Zali Nagle and Marlo for taking out Skill 3: The Down! Bloody stoked with your effort, guys. The comeback is on! Jackals, don’t get too comfortable 😉🐕 In today’s live, we chatted about taking these skills into real life and helping your dog reconnect with you when there’s something more exciting happening nearby. 🐾 Starting too close: Give your dog enough space to process the distraction and still respond to you. 🐾 The world changing your setup: Dogs approach, people appear and distractions move. It’s okay to walk away, create space and reset. A harder session doesn’t erase your progress. If your dog is struggling, make the next rep easier and build from there 💪🏻 Watch the replay and drop your questions, wins or sticking points below. That’s what this community is here for! 🤍

Bloody excited to share this with you legends 🙏🏼 This podcast is another step towards our mission of saving 10,000 dogs from unnecessary behavioural euthanasia. Real conversations, practical advice and a chance to help more people understand the dog in front of them. Having this community behind us makes it even more special. You’re already part of what we’re building, and I’d love you along for this next chapter. 🎧 Have a listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/3FJ0dECqDk8mFflKbhMGby?si=JRpCRyYSTee3ZPdCaiHs5w&utm_source=copy-link Hit follow / subscribe so you don’t miss a new episode.

On Saturday 31 October, we’re walking the Blue Mile together and finishing at Diggies for coffee, with our dogs settled calmly under the tables. That’s the finish line. Getting there takes six weeks, six skills and six rounds, starting Monday 14 September. But we decided that simply helping everyone build better dogs wasn’t quite competitive enough... So we’re putting something far more important on the line. 🔥 NATH vs MATT. 🔥 Bragging rights. And unfortunately for one of us, there will be witnesses. When you commit, you’ll be randomly drafted into one of two packs: 🐺 THE WILD DOGS with Nath 🦊 THE JACKALS with Matt You don’t choose your pack. You can’t swap. And once you’re drafted, you're no longer on your own. But this isn’t just you training your dog and sending in homework. Your Pack Leader is in this too. Nath and Matt will be coaching, competing, stirring each other up and doing everything legally permitted under Walkys law to make sure their pack walks into Diggies as champions. So yes, you’re working on your dog. Yes, you’re working with your pack. But you’re also carrying the hopes, dreams and incredibly fragile ego of your Pack Leader. No pressure. 😂 HERE’S HOW THE SIX WEEKS WORK. Every Sunday night, a new level drops as an online course for you to work through. Every Monday evening, your Pack Leader goes LIVE in Skool to break down the week’s challenge, answer questions and get the pack ready to earn that point. Then your private pack WhatsApp group takes over. Questions. Videos. Training. Struggles. Wins...... Trash talk. And when someone posts at 9pm on a Tuesday night because their dog just nailed something they couldn’t do a week ago, the whole pack piles on. Then Friday comes. 🏆 ONE DOG + HUMAN TEAM WINS THE WEEK. They take home a prize from Drifter Dog Gear and, more importantly, put a point on the board for their pack. Six rounds. Six chances to score. And on Halloween, one pack walks into Diggies knowing they won the 2026 Walkys Spring Challenge.
