Ep127 - You Can Lead A Horse To Water (But You Can’t Make It Drink)

• This is an old saying which refers to the fact that people can ultimately never be forced to actually follow through with anything they are recommended to do, even if they asked for the advice in the first place.
• As professional dog trainers we are often asked by pet owners to come in and give our paid opinions on a wide range of behavioural topics relating to dogs.
• We always try to put our clients' and their dogs' best interests at the forefront when we are giving advice.
• However this doesn't guarantee the advice will be received as was intentioned, nor that the client will follow through with the training after the dog trainer has left.
• Luke had noticed a few of his old clients using equipment and methodologies that he'd never recommended, which prompted this discussion. 
• Tune in as Panos & Luke unpack this week's topic!

Ep126 - Creating, Maintaining & Advancing Momentum

• When it comes to skill development, it is a necessity to have momentum and a direction of what you are trying to achieve.
• Otherwise, habits and skills are seldom to be to be acquired.
• The hardest part is getting started, however, once you get the ball rolling and you have equipped yourself with the correct method, technique and mindset you are likely to reach high levels, if that is what you truly desire.

Ep123 - Don’t Touch my Dog! (Advocating for our animals when out in public)

• One of the most common questions that we as professional dog trainers get is, how should pet owners have "those" potentially uncomfortable conversations when it comes to strangers (dogs AND people) looking to interact with our dogs in public?
• Many pet owners may feel "awkward" or "mean" for having to advocate for their dog's right to feel safe when they are out and about in the world
• It is a total MYTH that stranger dogs should always be allowed to interact with one another, or that your dog should have to accept attention from any person they do not know
• Panos & Luke break down the myriad of themes inside this pandora's box and give some practical tips on how to be the LEADER that your dog believes you to be!

Ep120 - Interviewing Saharai Salazar, WolfMother K9 Rescue Services

• Saharai “Sada” Salazar has been working professionally with canines for over 18 years.

• Saharai’s education in domestic animal and wildlife biology with an emphasis on canine studies included behavior, anatomy and physiology, genetics, evolution, and diseases at the University of California, Davis. 

   

• Saharai’s passion in working with Fear, Anxiety and Stress (FAS) in dogs, especially fear-based aggression, was cultivated in the Isolation Ward of a county animal shelter.
• For several years, she successfully rehabilitated and placed numerous red-listed dogs slated for euthanasia. Behavior modification presented its own special challenges in a shelter environment, which equipped Saharai with a unique set of skills and the knowledge needed to straddle the rescue and behavior worlds.

Ep119 - Accepting Things The Way They Are

• Sometimes we take on so much in our day-to-day life, and to make things worse, we suffer more in our head than we actually need to.
• In this week's episode, Panos comes back from a week out of Sydney to reflect on a few things: how stress affects learning, teaching, and relationships.
• To accept your current situation, whatever it be, your dog's behaviour, pressures of work, feeling overwhelmed with life's demands, etc.
• Once you see it for what it is, make plans moving forward, and over time, learn to read these patterns and be proactive.
• You are only best for others when you, yourself is at your best, this applies to your relationship and training with your dog and, of course many other factors to other areas of your life.
