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.

The relationship between the decoy and handler is one that needs to be based in honesty, integrity, vulnerability and compassion. There is so much information both said and unsaid that is bouncing between 3 entities, the decoy, the handler and the dog.

Then you have the audience who are watching and taking notes along the way. So what is it that makes this type of dog training such a high level of involvement?

A decoy really relies on the attention to detail and instruction from a handler. In return, the handler has to trust and be ready to act on said instructions to ensure that the dog has a good experience and is learning the most accurate and relatable behaviour.

This relationship is intense and rapidly changing and evolving which is why there are so many variables all colliding. It sounds difficult, but it doesn’t need to be when everyone plays their part well

Working Dog Radio is a podcast show run by Ted Stickels and Eric Stanbro. The ethos of their program is around working dogs in all applications.

Most guests on working dog radio are either Police or Military and they share their experiences and stories.

We haven’t had a chance to have a group catch up as yet so it was fortunate that the planets aligned and allowed it.

We both enjoyed our time sharing stories and are looking forward to doing it again.

If you want to learn more about them, check out their website.

Both he and his business partner Jason Kelly have valuable experience and backgrounds in canine training. Because of this, they saw it as a good opportunity to unite into a business.

Along with the business, Ben runs a sport dog group and general obedience as well. So not only is it a job, it’s also a passion.

Both Ben and Jason are located in the Perth region of Western Australian. For our USA or international guests, it’s the part of Australia we tend to forget about.
