Ep267 - Structured walking: The 20-20-20 rule
Update: 2025-12-23
Description
- Most dog owners walk their dogs every day… and still end up with pulling, reactivity, and chaos on the leash. Why is that?
- In this episode, Panos and Luke break down the 20/20/20 Rule — a simple, repeatable walking structure that balances discipline, freedom, and training.
- You’ll learn why the walk should be split into three clear phases:
• A structured loose leash walk to set the mental tone
• Free time with purpose — including real-world training
• A structured return to help your dog regulate and settle - This episode explains how to stop turning walks into overstimulation sessions and start using them to build focus, reliability, and a calmer dog at home.
- If your dog “gets plenty of walks” but still behaves like they’ve had three coffees, this one’s for you.
