Cameron Ford is a fascinating person Pat met while he was in Las Vegas. Cameron is steeped in knowledge and has an extensive background in training dating back to 1995.

He began his professional career as a canine detection handler for explosives and narcotics in the US air-force. From there, Cameron was posted in Germany and had access to most of the best canine training in Europe.

When you hear this episode, we are both certain you will sit find it extremely interesting. Both he and his colleagues are working on some ground breaking scientific study which will strongly benefit detection work.

Enjoy an old favourite from the past

Reflection and Gratitude are virtues that most share around the time midnight ticks over on the 31st of December. Reflection allows us to examine life in and around us with a little more detail. Gratitude is recognising the many good people and things in our life that have made it great.

For example, if we both reflect on the past 2 years, we are very grateful for where we are. We are also grateful for where we are going. The AMAZING people around us, the opportunities that have arisen.

Sometimes in life, we look and focus on the things that are hard and not going as planned. It’s a little to easy to focus on these at times so it’s good to have reminders on what to be grateful for. It also allows peaceful reflection.

We hope you all have a wonderful 2020 and we thank you for following us on our journey.

Please join us on more education and hilarity throughout the year.

Ask us anything part 3 is the third and final part of our string of listener questions. We had a lot of fun doing this and being able to interact with out audience. Also, when you ask for anything, you get some very good questions.

Thanks to everyone who submitted questions. We hope you like and enjoy the responses and always remember this point. We do not and will not ever claim to be the authority on every point. In most cases we are having a conversation about topics we are familiar with.

Some points we may be an authority while others are opinions.

Patience is a virtue. It’s also one of those traits many of us lose all too often. We all know we should have more of it as it serves us well in so many life aspects. Such as work, family and dog training, just to name a few.

Luck for us we have our beloved Birdy to join us on the show once again to coach both of us in patience. We know we can benefit from it as it highlights so many applications.

Just editing a podcast takes patience. There’s lots of stops and start along the way to get this content cleaned up.

But what about in dog training. When shaping new skills we have to be patient. It takes time to learn new skills for puppies and dogs or any other species.

“Beware the fury of a patient man”.

Katrina Hartwell is one of those people who will come into your life and you wont be able to forget her. It may not occur to you why at the time that she’s one of the nicest people to meet. She doesn’t say much at first. Katrina is quite quiet when you first meet her, however she is a deep thinker with a big heart.

We didn’t know it at the time that Katrina is a known and celebrated Bandog breeder. Apparently world famous too.

As well as all that, she’s the meme queen in our local dog chat groups and hilarious.

You’ll no doubt love her as much as we do.

Dr Ian Dunbar IACP conference was quite an honour and privilege for us to meet and speak with him. Ian Dunbar is well known throughout the world as a vet, behaviourist, author and speaker.

The good Dr is also known for his outspoken views which has gained him both hot and cold receptions. It was quite an experience getting to meet Ian Dunbar. He is a very charismatic personality in public life, however he explains it’s different for him in private.

We have both followed his early work and found segments differing from our own beliefs. However, this is not uncommon for most professionals. We did come to realise that we and many others have cherry picked topics.

Ian explained that sometimes it’s fairer to read and understand the entire message instead of just the paragraph. This point alone was a pearl of wisdom to encourage critical thinking.

It was an enjoyable conversation and a valuable experience for us to have the opportunity. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Jay Jack on Flexi’s at IACP was always bound to be a topic of controversy and hilarity mixed with education. It’s almost impossible now to know this show and not know Jay Jack as he has contributed a so much. In fact you would most likely know of his podcast with Chad Mackin, Dog training conversations.

So at this years conference, Jay got to present on Flexi Leads and as expected, it was a crowd pleasing topic. Jay was very entertaining and dig a great job of presenting his argument.

If you’re not up to date on Flexi leads, there a great deal of provocation about the safety of their use. Like all tools, there’s a learning curve that must be maintained to master its use.

If you have never heard Jay Jack speak, you’re missing out. He’s very captivating and very real in his delivery and humour which makes his shows so much fun.

We also got to catch up with Jasmine Whiting while she has been travelling around the states. She has been hosting work shops, seminars and kicking butt in BJJ comps. It’s been wonderful to see her so happy and her personal growth coming along in leaps and bounds.

The IACP conference speakers this year have been top notch and it was wonderful to see Jay present.

Dr. Casara Andre IACP 2019 was an unexpected delight at the conference this year. We had never heard of her or the work she was involved in until now. This is why having these opportunities is so important so we can meet new people and find out what they are doing.

Cannabis, THC and CBD have been a stigma for many years and only recently have we begun to relax. Laws in many countries now are starting to realise that there are potential treatments available. Even now there are new studies in the medical and veterinarian fields showing enormous benefits.

This is why it was exciting for us to meet and talk with Dr. Casara Andre and her colleague, John about their work. When we make an effort to understand subjects with more depth, we demonise them less.

If we have better means to treat our pets with more natural products, isn’t that worth knowing more about? If you enjoyed this episode and want to know more or help support the cause you can.

Look at https://www.veterinarycannabis.org for more information

Having just been at the IACP conference and spent time in person with Melanie, we can do it again.
