Interviewing Pat Nolan was a great honour for us as it is with all our guests. It always adds to the polish when you have someone who is considered a cornerstone in our industry. Pat Nolan is a name deeply connected to the canine industry mainly through his long career in gun dogs.

Now when people think of Pat, they consider the early work he contributed to our modern day scent work.

This was one of the many interesting points of discussion we had in this podcast. starting with puppy imprinting and moving into the career of a working dog.

Many of the great operators in this industry have gained their ideas from people like Pat Nolan.

Interviewing Dallas Burkevics was something we have both wanted to do for quite some time. The reason for this is that Dallas has been a long serving rescue organiser, with a wealth of experience.

Many people don’t know and don’t understand how much effort people in rescue go to. The time, energy and effort required is like planning a rock concert.

The other major point behind the rescue fence is that these people deal with the dogs many people discard like trash. They welcome them into their own homes, have those same home destroyed and then do it again.

They work full time jobs, have families, no social life because they are organising these very same dogs. People like Dallas Burkevics have hearts of gold, however it plays havoc in their lives at times.

But if someone doesn’t rise up to take on the overflow of discarded dogs, what happens to them? The men and women, mainly women, in the rescue organisations need our help and support.

They need funds and donations to pay for their bills. They make no money from this themselves. It costs them money to do it.

It was our great pleasure to be Interviewing Dallas Burkevics and we hope that it helps raise some much needed awareness.

Tyler Muto Round 2. If you remember last time we had Tyler on out show, like many of guests, he got to tell us his origins. If you don’t recall his original interview, go here

Now he’s back and we get down to chatting about some odd trends.

People are bragging about how they don’t train their dogs to be obedient. Some of the the points may sound quite silly, however we go into detail with Tyler to discuss various meanings behind the claim.

Tyler is a very well educated guy and he is highly intellectual and very pragmatic. Having just finished his term as president for the IACP, Tyler is now focusing his energies on his next project, Consider the Dog.

Apart from all his accomplishments, Tyler is an all round good guy, a great ambassador for training, defender of the balanced community and one of our close personal friends.

We really enjoyed having Round 2 with Tyler Muto and we are looking forward to round 3.

Hopefully you enjoyed it as much as we did.

The flow state is a comfortable state that lies right between boredom and anxiety. We know when we are in a state of flow when we get to the other side with ease. Time felt like it just zoomed on past us. This is not only a dog training lifestyle, it’s a lifestyle.

If you can adapt a flow state into you work, you hobby, your workout times and more, you will feel less anxious and more fulfilled. This is why people practice a little bit every day when they want to see improvement and growth.

Rather than just cramming and feeling over worked, they focus on easy and enjoyable increments. Just enough to push through barriers but not enough to feel overwhelmed. Every day a little more. just focusing on the objective.

Most people who have hobbies understand this state of being as they are doing something they enjoy without the stress.

Hopefully you are in flow state with your training.

Enjoy an older episode that got plenty of traction

Nicky Butler is a UK based dog trainer that grabbed ours and many others attention from a social media video. The video message highlighted what many of us have been thinking for quite some time. The nice thing was that Nicky took time to sit for a while and consider the content.

The message conveys a simple fact often overlooked. we all love dogs. All of us! However, there’s often controversy about who’s doing it right and the politics hijack the main objectives.

We all need to be more thoughtful about this topic. We need to think about how much time is actually worth arguing about it compared to getting on with work. Cherry picked, pseudo science and wounded emotions should never be used as ammunition in any basis.

There is a wise saying that suggests that the left wing and the right wing belong to the same bird. Flight is not possible when one is independent of the other.

Interviewing Nicky Butler gave us a bit more insight into how people in other countries are feeling. It also describes the ethos of the individuals and the community.

Another good episode on helping people with Ego issues

Drop your anchor is the title by our adopted show co-host Birdy O’Sheedy. For those of you joining us, Birdy is a clinical psychologist who additionally coaches people on living better with dogs.

Birdy has two business’s with the same name but a clever different meaning. Pause in life for her human work and Paws in life for her human / pet work.

The title drop your anchor is about teaching us to stand up tall, dig your heels in.

Glenn and Pat thought it had a different meaning and in some references it does, but not the one Birdy uses.

Anyone having a hard time developing a relationship with their dog would benefit immensely from speaking with Birdy. She has a very pragmatic approach to her work and is constantly looking at improving her own knowledge and understanding.

Where are we going? It’s a good question to ask yourself every now and then to confirm you are planning your direction. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, so it’s important to know these things.

Glenn and Pat talk about what we are doing on Patreon and how it is helping to create a future. it’s a future on where we all what The Canine Paradigm to head in.

More education, more entertainment, much more laughs. We get a lot of our ideas from you the audience. We listen to your own stories. The troubles you have, the enjoyment in your training, the things you love and the things you loath.

So as you can see, it’s important to ask, where are we going?

We also discuss our concern around people, fellows trainers not crediting their mentors. They make out that they found their knowledge buried in a field and they are the only ones who know it. Time to question that fool.

Here’s some other great shows to consider

Start the year with a plan. Start everything with a plan or at least try to. That way you get to do what you need to do by design, rather than just wing it.

There’s a saying that says, “plan your work, then work your plan”. Glenn thought it may have been Vince Lombardi, American football super coach and philosopher, however it was Napoleon Hill. There’s even another variation stated by Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister.

The episode at large is about people making New Years resolutions. We’re suggesting that it should be a year round resolution by being a little bit better that yesterday.

We found that by being incremental and not over doing it, learning takes on a better function overall.

Start your 2019 year off by, continuing the good work you did in 2018 and not having too high expectations. So, start your year with a plan and how can you go wrong?

It’s me isn’t it? The words most trainers hear after they have spent a little time working with clients. Yes, it’s you. It’s not a terrible process for clients to come to terms with either.

Once your clients accept they have had a major impact on their dogs education, or lack of, we can progress.

After all, our job is not to judge or embarrass them. We are there to serve and coach and to improve the overall relationship. When this happens, true language develops and it’s a beautiful thing to behold.

No more excuses, minimal problems and manageable dogs who understand you. What you telling them is now clear and they can hear you.

If you’re having trouble with your training, reach out to a reputable trainer.

Now instead of saying, I’s me isn’t it? I’m the problem. You start to say, I’m the solution.
