The flow state is a comfortable state that lies right between boredom and anxiety. We know when we are in a state of flow when we get to the other side with ease. Time felt like it just zoomed on past us. This is not only a dog training lifestyle, it’s a lifestyle.

If you can adapt a flow state into you work, you hobby, your workout times and more, you will feel less anxious and more fulfilled. This is why people practice a little bit every day when they want to see improvement and growth.

Rather than just cramming and feeling over worked, they focus on easy and enjoyable increments. Just enough to push through barriers but not enough to feel overwhelmed. Every day a little more. just focusing on the objective.

Most people who have hobbies understand this state of being as they are doing something they enjoy without the stress.

Hopefully you are in flow state with your training.

Nicky Butler is a UK based dog trainer that grabbed ours and many others attention from a social media video. The video message highlighted what many of us have been thinking for quite some time. The nice thing was that Nicky took time to sit for a while and consider the content.

The message conveys a simple fact often overlooked. we all love dogs. All of us! However, there’s often controversy about who’s doing it right and the politics hijack the main objectives.

We all need to be more thoughtful about this topic. We need to think about how much time is actually worth arguing about it compared to getting on with work. Cherry picked, pseudo science and wounded emotions should never be used as ammunition in any basis.

There is a wise saying that suggests that the left wing and the right wing belong to the same bird. Flight is not possible when one is independent of the other.

Interviewing Nicky Butler gave us a bit more insight into how people in other countries are feeling. It also describes the ethos of the individuals and the community.

Drop your anchor is the title by our adopted show co-host Birdy O’Sheedy. For those of you joining us, Birdy is a clinical psychologist who additionally coaches people on living better with dogs.

Birdy has two business’s with the same name but a clever different meaning. Pause in life for her human work and Paws in life for her human / pet work.

The title drop your anchor is about teaching us to stand up tall, dig your heels in.

Glenn and Pat thought it had a different meaning and in some references it does, but not the one Birdy uses.

Anyone having a hard time developing a relationship with their dog would benefit immensely from speaking with Birdy. She has a very pragmatic approach to her work and is constantly looking at improving her own knowledge and understanding.

Where are we going? It’s a good question to ask yourself every now and then to confirm you are planning your direction. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, so it’s important to know these things.

Glenn and Pat talk about what we are doing on Patreon and how it is helping to create a future. it’s a future on where we all what The Canine Paradigm to head in.

More education, more entertainment, much more laughs. We get a lot of our ideas from you the audience. We listen to your own stories. The troubles you have, the enjoyment in your training, the things you love and the things you loath.

So as you can see, it’s important to ask, where are we going?

We also discuss our concern around people, fellows trainers not crediting their mentors. They make out that they found their knowledge buried in a field and they are the only ones who know it. Time to question that fool.

Start the year with a plan. Start everything with a plan or at least try to. That way you get to do what you need to do by design, rather than just wing it.

There’s a saying that says, “plan your work, then work your plan”. Glenn thought it may have been Vince Lombardi, American football super coach and philosopher, however it was Napoleon Hill. There’s even another variation stated by Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister.

The episode at large is about people making New Years resolutions. We’re suggesting that it should be a year round resolution by being a little bit better that yesterday.

We found that by being incremental and not over doing it, learning takes on a better function overall.

Start your 2019 year off by, continuing the good work you did in 2018 and not having too high expectations. So, start your year with a plan and how can you go wrong?
