Life With Your Dog

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 Jackson has trained in excess of 20,000 dogs in obedience, protection, or detection, supplying canine and handler training to police, army, prisons, air force, and state and federal agencies internationally. Gaz has conducted several law enforcement dog training seminars with international speakers and patrons. 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. What’s most impressive about Gaz Jackson is the number of things he’s achieved through dog training: 1st Megafauna Fossil detection Dog • 1st Bio Archaeology Dog • 1st Quoll Detection Dog • 1st and 2nd Koala Detection Dog • Trained the world’s youngest Narcotic Dog at 11 weeks of age • 1st Pigmy Blue Tongue Lizard Detection Dog • 1st Slider Turtle and egg Detection Dog • 1st Three Cane Toad Detection Dog • 1st Tobacco Contamination dog for Phillip Morris • Trained Australia’s 1st private Narcotic Detection Dogs • Trained Australia’s 1st Cancer Detection Dog • Australia’s 1st operational Cadaver dog and worked with Police for body searches You can find more about Gary's work at https://www.gazjackson.com/

Our friend Kayna Wrench returns to the podcast to talk about her new business venture, Educated Canine, and also why it is important to have the sometimes uncomfortable conversations around dog training tools that may not be accepted by some people This is despite their usefulness in helping certain dogs who need specific tools or equipment to live their best lives...

Resource guarding is when a dog is displaying aggressive behaviour (growling and/or biting) to protect their valued resource (food, bones, toys, items and sometimes significant other- dog or person). This can be a very dangerous situation even though it is quite a natural behaviour and can range from fairly harmless to severe aggression. Panos discusses some different variations of resource guarding, how it develops, how to maintain it but does not cover any remedy to this as advice on aggression over a podcast is not appropriate. Seek professional help in person if you need to address this behaviour in your dog. Thank you for listening!

There is an abundance of professional dog trainers available these days, and the number continues to grow year on year. Which means dog owners have a huge range of dog training advice and services at their finger tips. However there could be detrimental consequences for you and your dog if you don't properly implement what one trainer taught you, prior to "hopping" to the next one in seek of a different answer. We break down the reasons for and against "trainer hopping" and why it may be a good or bad thing.   Thank you for listening!

One of the most important concepts we try to help our dog training clients understand is that dogs will continue to display whatever behaviours that are rewarded. This includes desirable and undesirable behaviours, and it seems that a lot of dog owners may not understand the ways in which they are accidentally or unintentionally rewarding (reinforcing) certain behaviours in their dogs...   Thank you for listening!

Panos answers a question that came in from Holly asking how to help prepare her dog or future puppy for boarding/kennelling. A few things to consider such as early crate training, finding a reputable boarding facility, dog minding in a professionals home, pet sitting or family and friends if appropriate. There can be many reasons why your dog finds being boarded a stressful experience. Panos sheds some light from personal experience working in different boarding facilities along with minding dogs in his home for many years. Being proactive is always best and hope this episode helps you make the right choice for you and your dog.
