I thought I'd share a little taste of this month's Food & Behaviour Masterclass with you. 🐾 In this short preview, we look at some of the marketing around dog food, what the information on the front of the bag actually tells us, and why it's worth looking a little deeper at what we're feeding our dogs. This is just one part of the full masterclass — we go much further into ingredients, processing, fresh food, simple things you can add to your dog's bowl and plenty more. If this gets you thinking about what you're feeding your dog, the full Nutrition & Behaviour Masterclass is inside The Calm Dog Project membership classroom, along with the rest of the resource library. And if you've got questions about your own dog's food, bring them over too. 🤎

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! 🐾💚

Pop in and say hello — I’d love to learn a bit about you both 😊 Share as much or as little as you like 👇 • Your dog’s name, age, and breed • What you’re currently struggling with • What everyday life looks like right now • What you’d love it to feel like instead • Or even just something you love about them No judgement here — we’re all just doing the best we can with the dogs we love 🤍
