Life With Your Dog

We tend to talk a lot to our dogs on a daily basis, and this can cause confusion in your commands. Panos explains the difference between a formal command (e.g. COME) and informal command (e.g. LET'S GO). We all wish to have clear communication with our dogs - put some of this advice into practice and see how you go.

"Good management" is a term you may have heard many times throughout our podcast episodes. It truly is the foundation upon which your dog's training must be built. When we build a house on an unsteady foundation of sand, we should expect to suffer the consequences. Dogs are no different. A dog whose foundations are built on solid bedrock will have a happy and fulfilling life as a member of its family.

Panos responds to Darnelle's question, regarding how she should socialise her dog without using a dog park. Listen to Ep7 (To Dog Park, Or Not To Dog Park) for our opinion on dog parks. There are a few ways in which we can socialise our dogs appropriately, although it may mean thinking outside the box.

Many people choose to back-tie their dog while they're at home in the back or front yards. Panos goes through some techniques on how to safely achieve this using a harness, versus a normal flat collar.  Thank you for listening!

This week we discuss how one bad experience for your dog can throw things off - even to the best of us. It's called life. Being an experienced dog trainer doesn't preclude you from ending up in unforeseen circumstances.  Panos talks about a recent incident where a dog attacked Nuki & Spades due to the poor management of the attacking dog's owners. We are always going on about good management! But you can't rely on management when it comes to other dog owners. The consequences of such incidents are referred to as single-event learning in dog training. This can refer to both good and bad experiences. Having built a solid training foundation helps them bounce back from potentially long-lasting negative effects. We cover the importance of having a plan for desensitisation and how to move forward when the sh*t hits the fan! Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

Today's question comes from zazenhub on Instagram, who's asking for ways to stop their dog begging and stealing food at dinner time. Panos addresses the 3 D's of a durational command ("Bed") as well as the power of good management. Most unwanted behaviour in the home is a symptom of lack of structure. Teach your dog what you want him to do, set some consistent rules, and always be patient. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

Stress and burnout is rampant within the canine industry. Perhaps it's a combination of a highly emotionally charged topic (trainers are rightly very passionate about their clients and animals), along with the fact that most dog trainers are "lone wolf" operators - out on their own, without "colleagues" in the usual sense. The irony here is many people enter the dog industry from a love of nature and animals, and yet they end up spending a lot of time away from nature, in the digital world, trying to run a modern business.  Panos recorded this episode from the beautiful Turon Gates property in rural NSW and muses on the importance of recharging batteries in nature, and how you might go about this.
