- Fundamentals may seem "boring" sometimes, but they are all setups for the next stages of training.
- Excellence is mastery of the basics!
- Be patient with yourself, your dog, and know the desired outcome at the start.
- It's not about "fixing" anything, but rather about improving everything piece by piece.

Ep127 - You Can Lead A Horse To Water (But You Can’t Make It Drink)
Saturday Apr 16, 2022
Saturday Apr 16, 2022
- 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
Sunday Apr 10, 2022
Sunday Apr 10, 2022
- 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)
Saturday Mar 12, 2022
Saturday Mar 12, 2022
- 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!
