Jason Firmin is a name that has been attached to The canine Paradigm since our humble beginnings. In some ways, he’s the third musketeer, apart from Birdy.

Firmin may sound like a gruff, grumpy old bastard, however in reality he has a heart of gold. He still is all those things and more but he will drop everything to help out his mates and the industry.

Recently Jason has been embarking on an incredible weight loss journey which he really needed to do due to several health concerns. Firmin shares his battle with obesity and complications that almost cost him a leg.

The role of the master coach ultimately is to empower the student to learn everything they can. It’s teaching a person to be empowered, not creating a dependant. In last weeks episode we spoke about dependencies. What’s interesting and disturbing is that some coaches exploit that.

They become a drug dealer rather than a life dealer. Instead of coaching the bird to leave the nest and fly, they keep the bird small and make it feel helpless without the coach.

A true master coach is not about vanity and ego. They want their student to ultimately be better than them.

Diminishing return is an episode that focus’s around a point of obsession. That area is based around people who too much of something, which throws their life plan out of balance.

For example, think of a student who studies for a job. Once they get the qualification, they then feel that perhaps they should do some more study to stay ahead of the game. Then, after they finish that course, they enrol in another and then another and so on. Now they are in a phase of diminishing return.

In the field of economics, diminishing returns has a different meaning which is, s the decrease in the marginal output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is incrementally increased, while the amounts of all other factors of production stay constant.

Peggy’s promise is a pet rescue charity organisation located on the central coast of New South Wales, Australia.

It is mainly run by three ladies, Sharon, Eleni and Megan with a score of wonderful volunteers. These people give so much to all the throw away pets in society by opening their homes and their hearts.

What most people don’t know is that rescue organisations like Peggy’s and so many more dip into their own pockets. Funding these operations are not cheap and there’s not a lot of deep pockets around.

So where does the money from? It comes from us with a lot of hustle from the people running the organisations.

It’s also a lot of work! Much more than most people realise or care to think about.

So how can you help? You can donate money, usable items or volunteer.

Pat Nolan’s Covid project is a promising look into the potential of dogs being trained to detect Covid-19. We understand that there are no guarantees in this field, however it’s exciting nonetheless.

We’re very supportive of Pat Nolan being a part of this project as it has potential to change the world. It’s a part of our life for now to keep hearing the word Covid – 19 or Corona virus. We’re sick of it for the most part as it has stopped the world and disrupped what we know as normal.

However, we don’t mind hearing about Covid -19, if we have promising news about its demise. We have the people at Penn Vet working dog centre to thank for this project being available to test.

You can look into the type of work they are involved in with theis link, Penn Vet.

Pat and Penn Vet are appealing for donations at this time to help fund the effort. You can reach out to Pat Nolan on how you, the community or a business may be able to help.

We plan to catch up with Pat in the near future in regards to a Covid training update and what progess he has made.

During this time, we hope you’re all doing ok. As a result of this work we may see a covid free world someday.

This really is a great time to start taking care of you

Training ideas during lock down is now the new norm for now which means we need to evolve. No one we know saw this coming, it’s the stupidest thing and it’s very serious.

What is even more serious during this lock down process is how it will effect peoples lives and businesses. Not to mention the impact it’s already having on mental health.

So the lock down means change to our life and to our income. Fortunately we have access to the internet and we can still be somewhat social.

To many people, it’s a lifestyle they are sadly familiar with. Staring at their phone all day, living inside, being anti social. They can now live their best life without judgement.

For the rest of us, adaptation is the key. Get used to it and gear up for change.

Help your mates is a term touted in Australia ever since I can remember. For a while it seemed to run out of a bit of steam which is unfortunate. In some cases, people work on the premises of screw your mate.

When you watch people beating each other over toilet paper, that makes you question the integrity of mates and mate-ship.

In any emergency, you must take care of yourself first. You simply have to or the possibility of two accidents or worse exists. Then when you’re in a good position, try and be of service to others. That’s the true meaning of mates.

You don’t have to give them everything you have! Sometimes it’s just simply a beer and a chat.

Honestly, sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest differences

Episode 76: Who governs the animal law makers

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Fat commando may seem ironic as a heading and you may be wondering what’s the relevance? Well to answer that, you will have to listen to the episode smarty pants. While we are talking about smarties, Americans don’t even have real smarties like Australians do. I mean, WTAF? They are not the same and not delicious. Lift you game USA, because Canada knows what we’re talking about.

We are living in strange times indeed and it has nothing to do with getting fat from eating delicious smarties! Dam it, now I want some and I’ll probably need a bodyguard to get to the store.
Herein lies the issue. We are under siege by a worldwide virus, COVID-19 and it’s scaring the shit out of people as the world has crawled to a pace we have never seen before.

Even though this is a dog training and behaviour podcast at the core, it’s still a community based show. We care about you and we care about our community and we don’t want you to get too fat on smarties during restricted movement.

We hope this passes soon and you and your loved ones stay safe during these uncertain times.

Keep informed by trusted science based updates. Not by old mate Tom down the road. Fuck that guy, unless he brings Smarties and toilet paper.

The six p’s is an episode that focuses entirely on being a better organised dog owner or handler. The six p’s mean that proper preparation prevents piss poor performance.

It’s an expression that’s been around for quite a while and is still used frequently in many services. When you think about it though, it’s hard to argue with. When you have a plan, it makes the operation so much easier. It relieves stress, because you’re organised, it increases the time factor, it prevents frustration and adds more value to your life.

There are so many positive factors that it’s almost hard to think we wouldn’t do it. However we are human. It’s easy for us to become motivated by other pursuits.

If it sounds familiar, it’s something that annoys us about our own dogs behaviour. Therefore, if we identify it early, we can collectively work on resolving that as an issue as well.

It sounds like like a lot to do but it will make your life far more enjoyable. Just think of the six p’s.
