🐾 Hey there Dog Lover,We’re diving into Part 6 of the Peace in the Pack series — and today’s episode is all about a sneaky dynamic that shows up in a lot of multi-dog homes (especially when you’re adding new dogs into the mix):Us vs. Them.Dogs are deeply wired for social structure. In their world, there’s with us… and there’s not with us. And when we humans unknowingly reinforce that division — through the way we set up our homes, introduce new dogs, or even talk about “my dog vs. your dog” — it creates unnecessary conflict and tension in the pack.In this episode, we’re unpacking:Why dogs are hardwired to value group cohesionHow crates, furniture, baby gates, and guest seating can accidentally send the wrong messageWhat “us vs. them” looks like in foster and blended householdsWhy even you can become a high-value resource that shifts the group dynamicReal-life examples (including what I learned from my own pack and boarding dogs)You’ll walk away from this episode with a clearer picture of how to structure your environment and mindset to support pro-social, pack-centered living — without accidentally drawing invisible battle lines.I hope you enjoy this one.Tracyxoxo🐾👣 Next Steps:If you’re ready to go beyond obedience and start living with your dog intentionally, it’s time to join me in The Fearless Framework.We’ll help you understand your dog — and yourself — in ways that lead to more confidence, connection, and peace in your home.🐾 Join today: www.beyondobedience.ca/fearlessI can’t wait to start this journey with you.Music Credit 🎶 Shawn Trotter @ shawntrotter.com

🐾 Hey there, Dog Lover,We're back with Part 5 of the Peace in the Pack series — and today, we're getting into one of those deceptively simple questions that opens the door to a whole lot of deeper conversations:Should your dog be allowed on the furniture?My answer? Yes.…And also maybe no. 😉This episode isn’t about setting rules — it’s about understanding what levels mean to dogs. From who gets the couch to who sleeps on the bed, your dogs are constantly making choices based on strategy, safety, and social standing.In this episode, we dig into:How elevation influences canine communication (and conflict)Why leadership is more about clarity than controlThe role of the den (your bed!) in pack dynamicsHow little moments — like who moves who — say a lot about the social structureWhy some dogs show tension in elevated spaces (and what that actually means)Plus, I’ll share a behind-the-scenes look at Irie and the occasional “toothy whispers” she shares with the rest of the pack — and what that taught me about space, status, and fairness.I hope you enjoy this one.See you next week for Part 6.Tracyxoxo👉 Next Steps:If you really want to understand your dog — and decode the way they move through the world — it starts with learning how to read canine conversations.That’s exactly what we do inside The Fearless Framework — together.🎉 Join today: www.beyondobedience.ca/fearlessI can’t wait to start this journey with you.Music Credit 🎶 Shawn Trotter www.shawntrotter.com

Hey, dog lover! 🐾You love your dog—probably more than most people, right? So why does it still feel like your dog isn’t listening? Why do they ignore your call, run the other way, or tune you out when it really matters?In this episode, we’re busting the big myth that love = relevance. (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.) We’ll explore why your love does matter deeply—but why it isn’t the currency your dog uses to decide who to follow, trust, or prioritize.We’ll talk about how dogs view the world through a survival-based lens, why emotional closeness doesn’t automatically equal relationship strength, and how to become more relevant in your dog’s life through shared experiences, not just snuggles.This is one of those episodes that can totally shift how you see your dog’s behaviour—and help you stop taking it so personally.Hope you enjoy this one,Tracy🐾👣 Next Steps:✅ Wanna hang out and learn more with me?Join the Fearless Framework, my 12-month online program designed to help you create an unshakable bond with your dog.

It’s not about time—it’s about quality, fulfillment, leadership, and rhythm.We explore what true dog fulfillment looks like (hint: it’s not just tiring them out), how to avoid being accidentally manipulated by your clever pup, and how to build a life where your dog understands the natural rhythms of the day.

Hey, Dog Lover! 🐾In today’s myth-busting episode, we’re unpacking one of the most common misconceptions in dog training: that obedience equals leadership.You’ll learn why being able to get your dog to “sit” or “heel” on cue doesn’t necessarily mean you’re the one they trust to lead. We’ll talk about what real leadership looks like to your dog—from the power of calm and predictability, to understanding how dogs use space, movement, and presence to communicate.I’ll also share my Leadership Scorecard concept and why training eye contact isn’t the same as earning it. This episode is all about helping you shift from a transactional dynamic to a trust-based relationship that makes everything easier—from daily walks to big life transitions.Whether you’re new to dog behaviour or a seasoned trainer rethinking your approach, this one is for you.Hope you enjoy this episode,TracyNext Steps 👣🐾:Want to take your relationship to the next level?Jump into the Fearless Framework, my 12-month online program built for dog lovers who want to create an unshakable bond with their dog and make everyday life easier through trust, leadership, and confidence—not constant training.👉 beyondobedience.ca/fearlessJoin our free community!Come hang out with other like-minded dog lovers in the Living Beyond Obedience Facebook group for support, laughs, and lots of “How interesting!” moments.👉 Join the group hereGot a question or want to leave a voice review?I love hearing from you!

Hey Dog Lover 🐾It’s 2026, and if you’re already feeling a little overwhelmed—guess what? You’re not alone. Leadership doesn’t always look like calm walks and quiet mornings.

Hey Dog Lover! 🐾🐾This time of year, we humans get a little bit... extra.Extra people, extra noise, extra sugar… and somehow, we expect our dogs to just “deal with it” in the name of socialization. But what if holiday chaos isn’t an opportunity to socialize your dog — it’s a chance to lead them?In this episode, we talk about why “just letting them figure it out” can backfire, and what you can do instead.

🐾 Hey Dog Lover,Does your rescue dog really trust you… or are they just surviving politely?In this episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest mistakes new adopters make—assuming that a dog who cuddles, follows them, or “seems fine” is actually feeling safe. The truth? Trust goes deeper than tail wags or staying close.We’ll talk about what real trust looks like (hint: soft eyes, relaxed body, no bracing), how to spot the difference between affection and actual security, and how to approach this with curiosity rather than guilt. Because when your dog says “I don’t feel safe,” they’re not being stubborn—they’re being honest. And that’s powerful feedback.How interesting! 🐶We hope you enjoy this episode.Tracy xoxoxNext Steps 🐾👣Ready to take your relationship with your dog to the next level?Consider joining the Fearless Framework, our 12-month coaching program with monthly Zooms, community support, and everything you need to build a big, beautiful bond with your dog.👉 beyondobedience.ca/fearless🎵 Music Credit: Shawn Trotter – shawntrotter.com

Hey Dog Lover 🐾🐾You’ve probably heard it before—“just toss some treats when your dog sees a trigger, to change their emotional response to the trigger."And yes, that can work.But there’s a small problem...You’re not part of the solution.In this episode, we’re unpacking the popular advice around food, fear, and emotional responses in dogs—especially when it comes to the why behind the behaviour.Because here’s the truth: if you’re not part of the process, you’re missing out on how YOU can influence your dog’s behaviour in a meaningful way.We’ll talk about:Why “treat and retreat” might not be the whole pictureThe difference between influencing vs. observing behaviourHow to build trust from the inside out—not from the sidelinesIf your dog is still anxious, reactive, or unsure—despite all the food and effort—this one’s for you.I hope you enjoy this one.Tracy xoxoNext steps: 🐾👣Join the Fearful Dog: Fearless Framework, our signature 12-month online coaching program built for dog lovers just like you.This is where everything changes.Here’s what you’ll get inside:Monthly Zoom Q&A calls and trainings where we tackle your real-life challengesA private, supportive community of people walking the same pathStep-by-step lessons on trust, leadership, and relevance—not just rules and techniquesCoaching that grows you, not just your dog’s behaviourYour relationship will bloom.Everything gets better and easier when you understand how to be the person your dog needs you to be.Join us at: 👉 beyondobedience.ca/fearlessMusic Credit 🎶Special thanks to Shawn Trotter – www.shawntrotter.com

🐾 Hey Dog Lover,Let’s be honest — most of us were taught to talk at our dogs before we ever learned how to listen to them.In this second step of our Untrain Your Dog to Build a Better Bond series, we’re flipping the script.This episode is all about the magic that happens when you get quiet. Like, really quiet.No obedience cues. No “Sit!” or “Stay!” Just presence, awareness, and curiosity.We’ll explore:→ The Be Quiet Game: what happens when you stop talking and start observing→ How to “Ask the Dog” without commands — using movement, intention, and gentle gestures→ Why your energy, posture, and presence already speak volumes→ And the first big step to learning how to talk dog… is learning how to be stillIt’s all rooted in one of my favourite Nelson-isms:"If you want to learn to talk to your dog... shut your mouth."Hope you enjoy this one.– Tracy xoxo👣🐾 Next Steps:Join the Untrain Your Dog Challenge inside the Living Beyond Obedience Facebook group.See the pinned post for details on how you can win a 30-minute free coaching call with me.Want to take your relationship a step further?Join the Fearless Framework — where you learn how to control yourself and influence the dog, not control the dog.
