Ep140 - Why Discipline = Freedom
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
- In dog training, how do we define discipline? How do we define freedom?
- Freedom and liberty comes with its own cost.
- Obedience training gives your dog the freedom to experience more and gain more access to the world.
- Off leash privileges come with a high level of reliable obedience and socialisation.
- The same concepts of discipline apply to dogs as they do to humans; that is to say, exercising self discipline allows us to gain more from our lives.

Ep139 - Dogs Live In The NOW
Monday Jul 25, 2022
Monday Jul 25, 2022
- Another episode talking about the lessons our dogs teach us.
- Panos discusses how dogs help us gain perspective, allow us to heal and to be living more in the moment.
- It's Panos' passion to live by the saying, "I teach dogs to live in our society, Dogs teach us to live in the NOW."
- This week's episode was prompted by a conversation Panos had with a good friend, Jaime, and was not a planned episode, more of a verbal download straight from Panos' mind to get it off his chest, hope you find it relevant.

Ep137 - Adding A New Dog To Your Home? (When Is It A Good Idea?)
Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
- Panos was asked a question about what should be considered when adding an extra dog to your household.
- This isn't an episode about how to assess and match your dog with a new prospective pooch.
- It is more about assessing your own life and the timing of it all.
- Setting emotions aside and consider some rational pointers before committing is always wise.
- Ps. If you are getting or have a new puppy, search for 'PUPPIES 101' to get multiple episodes relating specifically to puppy development and training.

Ep136 - Brittany ”The Pet Girl”: Why Prong Collar Bans Will Affect Us All
Tuesday Jul 05, 2022
Tuesday Jul 05, 2022
- This week Brittany of "The Pet Girl" joined us via zoom, generously giving her time and expertise on the current state of prong collar bans in the state of Queensland Australia
- We also discussed Brittany's extensive past as a dog trainer, and how she is always on the search to further her own development as a dog industry professional
- From Brittany's website:
-
"If you asked me 6 years ago what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, I had absolutely no idea; I just knew that animals HAD to be a part of it.
-
As a long time dog owner, I had always taken a responsible approach to my dogs’ health and wellbeing, opting for a more natural approach to their lifestyle and more specifically their diets.
-
I found that I was always asking questions beyond the norm and I quickly realised that a lot of the questions I was asking, nobody really knew the answers to. The more I researched and learnt, the more I wanted to share, and this is how The Pet Girl came about.
-
My goal is to help pet parents be informed and smart about pet ownership and do the very best they can. I want to create a generation of pet parents that value having fit, healthy and confident pets that not only survive through life, but absolutely THRIVE.

Ep135 - Your Dog’s Balls (Not Those Ones)
Monday Jun 27, 2022
Monday Jun 27, 2022
- Panos answers a question from Nellie in regards to what to do when she is playing fetch with her dog when another dog approaches and her dog causing a scene.
- There are a few remedies to this situation, prevention being the best cure. But the most important thing is, when your rewarding your dog with the ball, you should not allow anyone to take that reinforcement away. It is a 2 player game (you and your dog).
- Good management, advocating for your dog and executing a plan is the best way forward.

Ep132 - Dogs That Are Fussy Eaters
Sunday May 29, 2022
Sunday May 29, 2022
- If your dog is fussy, it is most likely caused by you and usually because you love your dog so much.
- Panos sees fussy dogs regularly and shares some advice to help get your dog eating his food again.
- Dogs are not grazing animals and should not have access to food all day long.
- Stop feeding from scraps at dinner time etc.
- Provide windows of opportunity for your dog to understand there is a time and place when food is available and after a set time the opportunity will go away.
- Make your dog understand that food a valuable resource.
