We'd love to hear what your plan looks like. What's the first thing you're going to focus on over the next week?

This is the discussion space for members working through the Beneath the Bark course. If you have a question about a particular lesson, head over to the Community tab here and add your question to the discussion for the relevant module. Keeping conversations with the right module makes it much easier for everyone to find answers and learn from each other's experiences. You're also welcome to share your biggest takeaways, celebrate your wins, or ask for clarification on anything you've learned along the way. If you haven't enrolled yet, you're still welcome to browse the conversations and see what members are discovering. The full course is available as a standalone purchase whenever you're ready. No question is too small. Chances are, if you're wondering about something, someone else is too. Enjoy the course 🐾 Deb

Have you ever wondered whether your dog's food could be affecting their behaviour? When we think about behaviour challenges, most of us naturally focus on training. But just like us, what our dogs eat can influence how they feel, cope, learn and respond to the world around them. Think about how you feel after a weekend of takeaway compared to a week of nourishing meals. While it's not quite that simple for our dogs, nutrition can play an important role in their overall wellbeing—and it's something that's often overlooked. Throughout August we'll be exploring the relationship between food and behaviour. We'll look at common myths, answer your questions, and explore practical ways to make informed decisions without all the confusion. I'd love to hear where everyone is at before we dive in. • What are you currently feeding your dog? • Have you ever wondered if food could be influencing their behaviour? • Or has your dog always seemed happy and settled on what they're eating? There's no right or wrong answer, and absolutely no judgement. Every dog is different, and this month is all about learning together. I'm looking forward to some great conversations! 🐾💚
