Ep267 - Structured walking: The 20-20-20 rule

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. Find us online >> Panos @ >> Luke @ >> >> >>
