The heart of the Academy
The people are what make it work
Training a dog on your own is hard to stick with. Inside the Academy, someone's always in your corner: your head trainer, your pack, and a community that's been exactly where you are.
Maria's first post
“I'm a team player and this is what helped me to post this.”
Maria nearly didn't post her first training video. “This is so far from my comfort zone,” she wrote. Within days she had 33 comments from her pack, her head trainer and members from the other pack. A month on, she's one of the most active members in our community.
Your own pack
You're placed in a pack, Wild Dogs or Jackals, with a head trainer and packmates who get to know you and your dog.
Weekly check-ins
Live pack check-ins and live coaching calls every week, so there's always a next conversation on the calendar.
Ongoing chats
A group chat for your level inside your pack, plus comment threads on every post. Ask anything, any time.
Every win counts
Post a rep, get a cheer. Pack shout-outs, seasonal challenges and people who notice the small stuff.
This is a normal week in our feed
Real comment threads from our Skool community. Nobody's paid to cheer. This is just what happens when you post a rep.
Real members, real wins
Straight from our community feed
These are real posts from Walkys members during our Spring Challenge, run through our Skool community. Every week they film their reps, post them and get feedback from their pack and head trainer.

A new cohort starts every month. You're welcomed in, set up, and placed in a pack (Wild Dogs or Jackals) with a head trainer.

Questions
Good to know
Can I join from anywhere in Australia?
Yes. Everything runs online through Skool, so your pack can be spread right across the country. All you need is your dog, a phone to film your reps and a bit of time each week.
When can I start?
A new cohort starts every month, so you land with a group of people starting at the same time as you. Our first Academy cohort starts in November 2026.
I'm nervous about posting videos. Do I have to?
You'll film your reps to pass each level, but nobody expects perfect. Plenty of members felt exactly the same at the start, and the feed is full of first wobbly videos with a pack cheering underneath. Your packmates are there to back you, not judge you.
How much time does it take?
Short sessions most days work best. Each level breaks into small weekly skills, and you move at your own pace, so busy weeks are fine.
How do the assessments work?
When you're ready to pass a level, you film your dog doing the skill and post it. Your head trainer checks it against the criteria and either passes you or tells you exactly what to tweak.
Is there a free trial?
There's no free trial of the Academy itself, but you can join our free community first to see the people and how we work.
How do I cancel?
No lock-in contract. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice, and your final 30 days are paid as normal. There's no free trial of the Academy, but our free community is open to everyone.
My dog has big behaviour problems. Is online right for us?
Many owners in our community started with reactivity, pulling and over-excitement. If you're unsure, book a call and we'll be honest about whether the Academy, a Breakthrough Lesson or in-person help is the best fit.
