The Canine Paradigm

Glenn and Pat and a whole bunch of sweaty Aussies have returned from the IACP conference in Tampa Bay Florida with a whole bunch of stories and a podcast that was done in Glenn’s hotel room that will be following soon from the IACP wrap up. We meet with some amazing people and had an awesome time networking and sharing stories and experiences, dancing on the beach, getting intoxicated at the gala and generally having a lot of fun together. We had a lot of amazing feedback on the show from a lot of USA residents and several of the Canadian crew that were too.  We cannot express our appreciation from you guys for following our show and offering such supportive feedback.  it was overwhelming. We were also advised that we should be making a Patreon account, which we have done to help sponsor the show. Much love again to all those who make time to listen to our podcast.

More questions, more answers.  As we didn’t have time to cover the questions asked of us in the last episode, we agreed that it was only reasonable to do another session so we could make our way through more from our listeners so enjoy Questions from our audience Part 2. This episode gets a little preachy but not without good cause.  There are factions in our industry that are not cooperating with each other and it’s not due to any good reason other than ego getting in the way and preventing good relationships from occurring and productivity. As an industry we need to look at more reasons to come together, not for more reasons to separate.  we are small and vulnerable when we argue and fight.

We like to acknowledge the people who listen to our show because without you it would just be two Johno’s sitting in a room entertaining each other. In this episode we answer some listener questions with TCP pearls of wisdom. Thanks to everyone who took a moment to write in and again to those who provide feedback and send words of support to let us know what you like, what made you laugh, made you cry, what’s important and much more. we want to do more of this in the future so please feel free to join us in our forums to discuss important topics OR even let us know about one you may be aware of.

Larry Krohn, a prominent dog trainer and vlogger, shares his journey from a federal agent with homeland security to becoming a beloved figure in dog training. He discusses the balance between natural dog behaviors and training, emphasizing the importance of downtime. Larry also dives into his advocacy for e-collars and their proper use, breaking down misconceptions. Additionally, he reflects on the influence of literature and neuroscience on training techniques, providing insights to empower dog owners. His warmth and expertise shine throughout the conversation.

Dissecting ego is an episode we have wanted to look at for some time now as it can be a troublesome emotion that many of us find damages opportunity, relationships and more. This week we get our resident psychologist, Birdie O’Sheedie back for her 3rd time on the show to help us look at what this little monster is and how to keep it under better control. If you find that people start to disappear from your life, perhaps it’s time to start thinking about looking within to make some small or large changes to enjoy those relationships rather than continue to drive them away.  

Another origin story of two people we know very well and love. Brent Dry and Cat Saunders are well established in the Australian canine community and are ingrained in the hearts and minds of many people both here and abroad for good reason. Both Brent & Cat have been supporting the industry in a very big way by being very inclusive in their approach to people and training styles and attending many of the training seminars and learning opportunities around Australia. If you’re in Melbourne, or even if you’re not, make some time to catch up with Brent & Cat.

While Forrest and Josh were in town and we had a live audience, we all thought it would be a great idea to have some beers and talk about our training lives and some deep thoughts in between on our seminar panel.  Discussions were intense and a little emotion came to the surface at times, however it was a great time to have a room full of passionate people sit with each other and have the comfort to reminisce on why we came to be here, why we stay and how we can help to look after others and ourselves. Thank you to everyone for participating in this event.  we hope to do more of these in the future.

Forrest Micke and Josh Moran who have both been on the show before and are no strangers to many Australian folks who have been to their seminars, bought their DVD’s through Leerburg and have done online coaching are now on Australian shores ready for their first joint seminar in Dural NSW. In this episode we talk about what’s important in training while having a little fun together which we always tend to do.

Something slightly different from our usual show however, very relevant as it’s something that has an effect on all most people at one stage or another.  The dog industry can be exciting and challenging however, it can also be intimidating and reckless at times as egos are often unchecked.  Keeping Sane should be at the top of your priorities to maintain happiness. It’s important to not ignore the signs of feeling burnt out and then knowing what to do before serious health issues start effecting your quality of life. In any event, we always encourage people to seek out suitable health professionals at anytime, for any reason if you’re feeling overwhelmed for longer periods than normal.

As promised, we follow up with our good friend Jasmine Whiting to find out how she’s been getting on with life and her career in the dog training industry. Jas, has been getting busy getting on with life with some big goals in her future and some big ones she’s already either made headway on or is getting into them now. We’re impressed with how far she’s come in a short time.
