A Birdy’s eye view on Anxiety is a welcomed episode to bring back our great friend, Birdy O’Sheedy.  If you haven’t listened to an episode with Birdy yet, it’s important to note that she is a practising psychologist.  Birdy works in both the human and pet dog realms and has fast attracted attention based on her genuine results.

In this episode, we discuss the realms of anxiety and how it starts and what it looks like.  It should be noted that we always recommend dealing with suitably trained professionals prior to working on this.

We get to learn about the term, transgenerational transmissions and how that creates a transfer of anxiety.

So all aboard ladies and gentleman.  Get ready to drop your anchor and join us on this wonderful journey with our resident Psychologist.

Episode 52: Getting out of the shit

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.

We also spoke briefly about puppy raising which we have spoken about here as well in the picking and raising puppies episode

Meagan has her own website and on-line training programs that you can find by clicking here

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.

Dealing with difficult clients and people is a show we have danced around for a while but decided to finally do it.  Anyone in business or life, has moments where discussing issues with people can be difficult.

We all have different ways and recommendations of managing these outcomes to attempt to better resolve the outcome.

Glenn and Pat share a few of many experiences over the years of dealing with some of the more memorable people and how they worked on the outcome.

Conflict resolution is a big business in this day and age with books, seminars, pod-casts and more.  Add animals to that mix and you can sometimes be looking at a bigger explosion.

An earlier episode we did, http://www.thecanineparadigm.com/2018/07/18/episode-36-keeping-sane-in-the-dog-industry/ helps a little for trainers and industry people when they need a time out.

You can also check in with our resident psychologist, Birdie O’Sheedy for some back to sanity assistance.

Episode 47: Dog parks dystopia or utopia

Dog parks dystopia or utopia came about after Glenn had a small rant on social responsibilities and then Pat re-listened to the episode to correct a point on dog parks.

As Pat has a local community dog park area that functions well, he felt the need to makes some valid contributions about how well good people and their dogs behave in some areas.

Like everything, there are good and bad dog parks, so the important take home message is to ensure good research is conducted prior to taking your dog there and coming home with a bad experience.

We unpack a few topics through this discussion and it goes around in a few different directions, however the modus operandi is always around being responsible and following a good duty of care when out in public with your dog.

Episode 46: Social Responsibility

Subscribe: Spotify | iHeartRadio | TuneIn | RSS | More

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.

Get ready to get sweaty.

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.
