There are a few things that make this practice very important to add to your training such as: Understanding the power of intermittent reinforcement Practicality of training for the real world Make training dynamic and funIf you aren't already chaining behaviours together, have a listen and give it a go!   Thank you for listening!

The last episode of the year is about Panos thinking out loud on what dogs have taught him in the year of 2022. It is valuable to take the time to acknowledge that dogs are outstanding teachers and bring out both our strengths and weaknesses of our personality. To learn and grow because of this enriches our relationship with them. Thank you for your love & support this year and we hope you have a Happy New Year! Thank you for listening!

This week we break down the concept of the "3 spinning wheels", which are Handler, Dog, and Environment. Without all 3 wheels in place and "spinning" properly in unison, you and your dog's training may not be optimal... listen in to find out what this means! Thank you for listening!

Christmas time is the best time of the year for most of us, however unfortunate things can happen in times of gatherings and festive madness. Panos discusses certain things that usually occur this time of the year that need addressing to help minimise unfortunate events to take place, such as: Don't purchase a dog/puppy as a gift Appropriate management of dogs at family gatherings Spend quality time with your dog (and the ones you love most) Start thinking about setting goals for the new year to come Have fun yet stay cautious and not complacent Thank you for listening!

Are you waiting to feel motivated to get things done, or are you disciplined enough to work on your tasks and training even if you can't be bothered? Panos discussed a few reasons why discipline is a far better drive than motivation. Not just for dog training, but for general life. Thank you for listening!

We had the privilege to have a very interesting conversation with Gary about his 40 years of experience in the dog training industry and some fascinating stories that have come with it.This lead to a discussion of certain 'extremists' that threaten our industry on many levels, and you may find it surprising the conclusion Gaz has come to after all these years being a service to dogs and our community.

Gaz is an international speaker conducting seminars, events, workshops, and lectures, training handlers and trainers around the world in all aspects of dog training. Gaz now works full time as an author and speaker around Australia and overseas and provides dog training private lessons, seminars and workshops.
