Rite of passage is a ceremony or ritual of the passage which occurs when an individual leaves one group to enter another. It involves a significant change of status in society.

In this show, we discuss a little in detail about the rite of passage dog in the working dog world. For anyone who doesn’t know what that means, it’s the hardest most powerful dog.

It’s the dog that puts you on your ass and gives you bragging rights. Most sports dog groups or breeding groups know this dog and want to work it.

Grisha Stewart became very well known to the canine community after she authored her book BAT. The acronym of the book is Behavior Adjustment Training, which is mainly directed at dogs with aggression issues. As well as being an author and trainer, we got to find out a bunch of things Grisha used to do.

The great part of the podcast interviews is not only meeting and making new friends like Grisha. It’s spending time with people and hearing their back stories. How things came to be and where fate intervened.

You can also get to know more about Grisha from her interview, or you can go to her website.

Tyler Muto meditations is a catch up on someone who has does a lot for the industry. Not just that, Tyler is a mate to us and many people around the world.

It was alarming to hear that Tyler had slipped into a depression over the last couple of years. He was kind enough and trusting enough to share that information with us and speak about how he combatted it.

Similar to Tyler, many people fall victim to this silent predator that comes from our dark past. It can hit us without warning and change everything.

This year has also been one that gave plenty of us a punch in the face. It has been hard but we still have each other and we are good for one another.

Brent Dry’s lock down experience was an eye opener for us in Australia who didn’t realise what was happening in Victoria. Brent who is usually an upbeat, happy social community leader lost his mojo.

The good news, he got it back, however it was a eye opener on what lock down did to him and so many others.

Victoria, the south eastern state in Australia was subjected to one of the most intensive lock down terms in the world.

Many others in the world have been going through terrible experience. we’re not making light of anyone’s collective or individual suffering. It’s all cruel and terrible.

It’s a little reminder to us how important our connection to our community is. Don’t ever take it for granted.

The dangers of obsession can expand into every corner in our lives. Obsession can be controllable, however it can also get very far out of control.

The activity of dog training can be one of those fields with strong pulls of obsessive behaviours. The trick is to know when to say when and try and find healthy life balance.

No one said it would be easy. Obsession is a sneaky and seductive mistress and she wants you to be weak. However it should be noted that obsession has ruined a lot of good dogs because it brings friends to the party.

Impatience, anger, corruption are just a few bad traits that can easily tag along for the ride. Enjoy the time with your dog and also with your family and your friends.
