Life With Your Dog

Ep31 [Puppies 101] Walking Your Pup, & Acquiring Sibling Puppies [Pros & Cons]

Today's episode covers 2 topics. Walking your puppy can be a challenge, and learning some basics can really help. Panos doesn't teach 'loose lead' walking for puppies under 6 months old, but building a foundation to help for those future times really makes a difference!

If you are thinking of it, or already own 2 puppies from the same litter, Panos & Luke discuss the importance of following guidelines to prevent future issues. The 2 main issues here (but not limited to these) are separation anxiety and aggression problems. Enjoy this Puppy 101 episode - any questions hit us up on our different platforms.

Ep30 - Dog Barking At TV - How Do I Stop This? [Q&A]

Dogs barking at the TV can be a fairly common problem. Interestingly, it is more prevalent with modern TVs as the old-style TVs (before LCDs) were very hard for dogs to actually see the TV picture.

Panos goes through how to use COUNTER-CONDITIONING and DESENSITISATION to address this issue. As always, successful dog training comes down to GOOD MANAGEMENT! Set yourself and your dog up for success, not problems.

Ep27 - Situational Awareness for Dog Training (How & Why to Pay Attention to Your Environment)

When walking a dog that is reactive to other dogs & people (or even when walking a puppy) we must have a level of awareness of what's in the environment around us.

Be a few steps ahead of your dog so that you can prepare your training technique, avoid a dangerous situation or making a negative experience for your pup.

Be proactive in how you wish to prepare your dog to a situation, try not to be reactive with your dog. Dogs like to follow strong leaders.

Ep24 - What Dogs Have Taught Me (Four-Legged Therapists For People!)

Taking a break from our usual Q&A episode, this week Panos sits down by himself to mull over what dogs have taught him in his many years of working alongside these majestic creatures. In these uncertain times that bring increased anxiety, dogs have the ability to take us out of our HEADS and bring us more into our BODIES. Anxiety is a fear of the unknown FUTURE - while dogs can bring us into the PRESENT! 

We teach dogs to live in our society, while our dogs teach us to live in the now. Being present is a side effect to this understanding. Keeping up with routine with our dogs even though you can slip out of yours. If you have training goals with your dog, the ritual of training and practice is further strengthening your discipline with a new skill, project or goals of our own. Dogs are optimistic, and this encourages us to be more positive even when we feel down and out.

Ep23 - When & Why To Use Punishment

This episode comes to you from Coronavirus quarantine! Luke has been unwell so we took precautions and recorded this remotely over the internet.

"Punishment" can be a highly controversial topic within the dog training industry. There can be serious animosity between the balanced and force-free communities. However the smart approach is to realise that both can learn from one another and meet in the middle. 

Many terms can be misconstrued, but even putting a dog in "time out" or withholding pats counts as punishment! Many people who claim to never use punishment are very likely using it without acknowledging this...

Panos goes through many different examples and scenarios, drawing on his personal experiences of dog training to navigate this controversial but NECESSARY topic for your dog's long term wellbeing.

Ep22 - (CORONAVIRUS SPECIAL) What To Do With Your Dog During These Times? [Q&A]

In these times of uncertainty and anxiety, some are forced into lockdown, some are home for self isolation quarantine & others are having to work from home.

 

What does this mean for our dogs? Panos talks about opportunities for training, exercise and not getting distracted by your dog while working from home. 

 

Maintain structure, but switch up the routine as much as possible. See the opportunities rather than the negatives in this pandemic.

 

We hope and pray that you and your family are doing ok in the trying times. Our best survival technique is staying happy, healthy and strong, learn from our dogs, be in the present moment and look after family and community.
