Training advice from vets can often be a controversial topic of heated discussions within the training community. Some vets have been known to give great advice where others have made outrageous claims. Sounds like any other industry really,

However, this is the industry that we’re all in as trainers. We rely on our vets to help us through health issues of all variations throughout the life of our pets. Our trusted vets are incredible people that are highly skilled and talented in their field.

That field however, often does not include training. Where some vets have gone on to do behaviour and training as an additional skill and can validate their advice, most can not and they shouldn’t.

We should have a close and symbiotic relationship with each other and refer to the appropriate profession based on the requirements.

While writing this, it is important to note that the veterinarian profession has some of the highest suicide rates out there. Their jobs are highly stressful with some of the highest rates of abuse in any profession.

If you have a great vet, promote them and also let them know you appreciate them. it’s nice to know you’re loved and appreciated.

Embracing the path of Chaos sounds confronting. In this episode we talk about the types of language you use around your life. How you interact, how you coach, how you live your life.

We also speak about how teaching and coaching starts to flow into states of chaos and how it’s best to be prepared for those times. In essence, you have to make friends with Chaos because even though that word can conjure up some powerful thoughts, feelings and beliefs, it’s around us.

The Chinese refer to life as a relationship with Yin and the Yang. The relationship of control and chaos with each element possessing a small part of the other, while providing balance and harmony.

This is why it’s important to not just seek one whilst fearing the other. Embrace Chaos and understand how to work with it.

Boyd Hooper is a name that has been mentioned on this Podcast and in many circles around Australia. Boyd was Glenn’s first coach in bite work training, which is where Boyd really made a name for himself from the very early 1990’s up.

Many of the freedoms and liberties that we have still been able to enjoy in the Australian dog industry have largely been thanks to Boyd and the other industry Titans that stood in the way.

Before many of the known groups reared their heads up to minimise access to training and tool use, Boyd was one who regularly stood fast in opposition and rebutted with prepared science and logical debate.

In addition, Boyd was an early pioneer of established training for the Australian Dog community in both customer and trainer education platforms, providing training to many thousands over a 40 year period.

It’s a great honour to have him join us for our 200th show as it is to have all of you who regularly join us and largely support our work.

You can find our more about Boyd at TASK9
