Life With Your Dog

Hint: It may not be what you'd previously thought. Often we assume that "training" is limited to when the dog trainer shows up, but it's far more encompassing. *Understanding dog body language, basic understanding of teaching the main commands, regular exercise and mental stimulation. *Learn what dogs need to live and thrive in our world, keep rituals and be consistent with all practices. *Training is more than merely teaching commands - it is about enriching their needs on many levels and educating yourself accordingly.Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

This is our first Q&A episode, which we will be releasing intermittently between the longer ones. If you have any questions please submit them via our Facebook, Instagram, or at www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com.  Here Panos discusses which leashes he does (and does NOT) recommend for your dog, and the reasons behind this. As you'll hear, not all leashes are created equal! One kind of leash is particularly dangerous, and has even split open Panos' thumb in the past (ouch!) Please enjoy!

Panos discusses with Luke how he uses markers in his training with his own dogs and his clients' dogs.Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

Panos and Luke discuss the importance of keeping our dogs mentally and physically stimulated. Daily routines, rituals and activity (a job) are all important in our dog's life.  This episode lays a foundation of Panos' training and some of the theory behind the practical side of dog training. Understanding that providing this training and exercise routine consistently eventually becomes a way of life for you and your dog. Give your dog a job, and you will see some improvement in behaviour and energy level of your dog. Happy dogs, happy people.Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

In our first episode of Life With Your Dog, we take the time and opportunity to introduce ourselves. Panos is the owner of Nooch's Pooches, based in Sydney. He has been specialising in dog behaviour and training for over 10 years. Panos talks about what got him into dog training and the journey it has taken him on.  Luke is fascinated by how dogs learn and how they positively affect our lives. Together with his mum, he also hosts the "Our Human Condition" podcast that focuses on "How can we live a life that transcends the challenges everyone faces?". Panos was originally a guest on their podcast, before he and Luke decided to start Life With Your Dog together! This is the beginning of a new journey. In this episode we discuss a general outline of what is to come in later episodes. Each future episode will centre around a theme connected to dog training and behavioural theory.
