In this emotionally charged episode, Glenn and Pat hit the reset button after scrapping their original recording, something we don’t often do. The reason? Frustration and sadness. The original session had been overshadowed by anger and disbelief at the overwhelming wave of negativity sweeping through both the dog training community and the wider world.

Rather than push out content clouded by emotion, we chose to re-record with clearer intent, to voice their concern, reflect more calmly, and explore why it feels like something is very wrong right now.

The conversation touches on a wide range of disturbing behaviours, events, and trends that seem to be surfacing more frequently, whether in the dog world, where dishonesty and division are growing, or in society at large. One example mentioned is Charlie Kirk, whose assassination happened just days after we had mentioned him in passing, highlighting just how volatile and shocking some people are behaving right now.

As seasoned professionals who work to better the lives of dogs and their people, Glenn and Pat ask the deeper questions: How do we maintain sanity in this kind of chaos? Where do we find our personal compass when values are blurred and trust is eroded?

This episode won’t offer answers, but it’s a raw, thoughtful reflection worth hearing. If you’ve been feeling the heaviness too, you’re not alone.
