How I did it: set my alarm for 5.30 am so i could walk them before getting the kids ready for school.  walked them during the day on the weekend with my kids on bikes and husband to help.  i've only been going for 2 weeks but it's been a mental shift in that i need to do it for them and me (so that they're more manageable and better behaved). it's making it a priority and the other benefits are to my fitness and mental health (it's lovely and peaceful at that time of the morning).  i also realised that i'm not setting a good example for my children if i don't teach them that reaponsibility side of pet ownership.  the dvd has helped me to walk them so that they don't pull me anymore so it's really quite enjoyable and i now know how to deal with the other things that used to freak them out ie other dogs and cats. 

Lessons & tips: just put on your shoes, grab a leash and walk for as long as you can.  the dog whisperer reckons 45mins minimum.
