Perfection kills dog walks; a tiny win keeps them alive.

This episode shares the non zero day trick for when life’s busy, rainy or you’re wiped out. Instead of skipping the whole thing, you do something small so the routine stays warm and the guilt cools off. Keeping the habit barely alive makes it easier to return to longer walks and keeps your bond steady.

Choose your own non zero walk for the hardest days and see what shifts over a week.

A two minute morning check sounds too small to matter, yet it quietly holds the whole day together.

This episode builds a tiny, repeatable check that asks are we basically set for today. We cover simple points like water topped up, food sorted, lead and bags ready, and a quick read on how your dog seems. It matters because small keeps going when life is full, easing that low-level worry and making walks and feeding calmer. Expect a steadier start and more headspace without faff.

Test it tomorrow, hitch it to something you already do, then notice what needs moving to make it stick.

Overpromising walks then running out of time? Trade the guilt for a calm 10-minute minimum.

Gemma names the overpromising cycle and why predictable enough beats epic plans. You’ll hear a simple way to make a tiny walk your baseline, so your dog gets movement and you feel steadier. Expect ideas on picking a doable route and time, protecting that sliver from chores and screens, and kinder self-talk when the minimum is the win. The shift is from heroic intentions to quiet consistency.

Think about what your true 10 minutes looks like and how you’ll ring-fence it, then press play for the rest.
