From 17 Triggers to Calm Walks: How They Stopped Charlie’s Pulling

Stress Free Dog Walks

Imagine spending 4 years trying every trainer, trick, and piece of advice you can find - only to still be dragged across the road by your 27-kilo spaniel. That was Derek and Margaret’s reality with their dog Charlie.

Charlie had 17 different triggers - pulling, lunging, frantic sniffing, barking at dogs, chasing cats, exploding at the doorbell, the list went on. Walks were stressful, overwhelming, and sometimes dangerous.

Fast forward to today: Charlie walks calmly on a loose lead. In this episode I’m sharing how they did it:

✅ Why ‘control’ was actually making Charlie worse - and what worked instead

✅ How Calm First transformed Charlie’s behaviour (without tackling each trigger one by one)

✅The 5 steps that gave Derek and Margaret their dream walks… loose leash walking training was only step 3!

✅ The surprising side-effects of the Calm First approach - including a relaxed fireworks season!

Hit play to hear how Derek and Margaret turned years of struggle into calm, loose leash walks - so you can apply it to your own dog!
