Getting out of the shit, although a nasty sounding title, has something relevant to do with Pat. Whilst walking through the desert one day on patrol, he got himself in a shitty situation.
However, the main focus point in this show is, how to say goodbye to a dog for behavioural reasons. This is a predicament that many of us Professional trainers have had to assess and help make the right choice. We also unpack a little bit about the difference between decision and choice.
The show gets a little deep and turns a few corners, however we had an interesting chat.
If you enjoy our show and you would like to help us, you can donate as much as a cup of coffee. It’s only once a month on our Patreon page and you get access to extra content.
Meagan Karnes, otherwise known as the Collared Scholar was in Australia running a series of seminars. Glenn and Pat had the good fortune of sitting down with her to get some insight into her origin story.
Prior to Meagan throwing her hat in the ring of dog training, her role was a little different. Or maybe a lot different.
Meagan told us the reasons why she became so frustrated prior to starting her new career. This is why she changed her stars in the first place. She also discusses her dogs, how she came to have them and the people who inspired her.
It was great to watch her work and introduce us to her style of training, which has hints of other remarkable training mentors. we also enjoyed her infectious laugh and enthusiasm into helping transform relationships between dog and owners.
Diagnosing problems in training came from points our listeners were posting in our Facebook group. Given that anyone who has owned or trained or been around dogs knows that there are always going to be problems. We figure it’s best to identify what they are and how we can reduce or completely extinguish them.
In addition to that, it’s our 50th show! We are happy to celebrate with you and appreciate all the love and support from people all over the world.
We have a lot more great content to come on top of what we have already so buckle in and get ready for a wild ride.
More sweat, more laugh, more education and more Glenn and Pat.
A couple of good episodes to listen to in relation to this episode would be, selecting and raising puppies. If you haven’t heard the box episode, that’s almost a TCP staple.
In closing, Pat started a new client business called Operant Canine. If you want to book some extra time with him you can find him on Facebook.
Glenn & Pat discuss the social responsibility issue with people making poor examples of themselves and particularly their breed when out in public spaces. A lot of people want to be out in public spaces with their dog, enjoying the social environment, however there are people who are very vague about their dog and mistake excitability for aggression and problematic behaviour.
As always we are advocates of training and we encourage all people who own dogs to become more educated about teaching better form of engagement so you can really enjoy your dog without being in fear of it risking public safety or an altercation with another dog.
We also mention that Jay Jack’s SR test through his GRC program is a very easy, very accessible platform for all dog owners, especially the ones that need it, to give them a platform to help in providing a working outlet.
Hot seat stories from the IACP, comes directly from our time in Florida where we got to sit in a room with some of the many amazing people we know or met along the way at the conference.
We got to share stories, listen to origins of other trainers, share some laughs and generally hang out with amazing people while Jay Jack was heckling in the background.
As we have mentioned, one of the amazing experiences of travelling is meeting new people and making new friends from around the world as we have had the good fortune of doing and by having a conduit such as The Canine Paradigm and other industry shows, we can reach out to people all over the world to help bring our industry closer together.
We would like to thank, George Kittridge, Emma Grae Murdock, Bill Church, Josh Moran, Byron Flores, Jay Jack, Chad Mackin, Alex Edwards and Jas Whiting for a great session.
Glenn and Pat and a whole bunch of sweaty Aussies have returned from the IACP conference in Tampa Bay Florida with a whole bunch of stories and a podcast that was done in Glenn’s hotel room that will be following soon from the IACP wrap up.
We meet with some amazing people and had an awesome time networking and sharing stories and experiences, dancing on the beach, getting intoxicated at the gala and generally having a lot of fun together.
We had a lot of amazing feedback on the show from a lot of USA residents and several of the Canadian crew that were too. We cannot express our appreciation from you guys for following our show and offering such supportive feedback. it was overwhelming.
We were also advised that we should be making a Patreon account, which we have done to help sponsor the show.
Much love again to all those who make time to listen to our podcast.
More questions, more answers. As we didn’t have time to cover the questions asked of us in the last episode, we agreed that it was only reasonable to do another session so we could make our way through more from our listeners so enjoy Questions from our audience Part 2.
This episode gets a little preachy but not without good cause. There are factions in our industry that are not cooperating with each other and it’s not due to any good reason other than ego getting in the way and preventing good relationships from occurring and productivity.
As an industry we need to look at more reasons to come together, not for more reasons to separate. we are small and vulnerable when we argue and fight.
We like to acknowledge the people who listen to our show because without you it would just be two Johno’s sitting in a room entertaining each other. In this episode we answer some listener questions with TCP pearls of wisdom.
Thanks to everyone who took a moment to write in and again to those who provide feedback and send words of support to let us know what you like, what made you laugh, made you cry, what’s important and much more.
we want to do more of this in the future so please feel free to join us in our forums to discuss important topics OR even let us know about one you may be aware of.
We get to speak with one of Americas top dog training Vloggers and all round nice guy, Larry Krohn about his origins and his book. Larry has an amazing following and fan base of frustrated dog owners who he has shed some wisdom to in many of his on-line recordings.
We also find out that Larry is also a federal agent for homeland security, so he has to train dogs around his very important full time job.
An incredibly nice guy and an asset to our industry, we hope to speak more with Larry in the future.
Another origin story of two people we know very well and love. Brent Dry and Cat Saunders are well established in the Australian canine community and are ingrained in the hearts and minds of many people both here and abroad for good reason.
Both Brent & Cat have been supporting the industry in a very big way by being very inclusive in their approach to people and training styles and attending many of the training seminars and learning opportunities around Australia.
If you’re in Melbourne, or even if you’re not, make some time to catch up with Brent & Cat.
