When I started my dog training community on Skool, I thought most people joined because they wanted to fix a behavior problem — barking, pulling, not listening. But over time, I realized something deeper… Most dog owners don’t just want a well-behaved dog — they want a better relationship with their dog. The real goal isn’t just to get a perfect “Down-Stay”… It’s to feel connected. To go on a walk without stress. To have a dog that trusts you and looks to you for guidance. To be the calm in the chaos — especially when distractions are everywhere. That shift changed the way I lead the group. Now, instead of focusing only on "fixes," we focus on understanding our dogs better — how they think, what they’re trying to communicate, and how we can create calm, focused behavior through connection. Running the community has taught me that people don’t need more obedience cues — they need clarity, confidence, and community. If you're building your own Skool group, here’s what I’d say: → Don’t just offer information. Create transformation. → People stay for connection, not just content. If you’re curious about the kind of dog-human transformations we work on, I share weekly lessons and training themes inside my group:🐶 https://www.skool.com/calm-canine-academy-3658/about?ref=de5185e55f884cfbbe00b2f8973b333b Would love to hear — if you run a community too, what's the biggest shift you’ve seen in your members?
