Surviving Christmas is about enduring the fatigue which comes at this time of year for almost everyone. Ideally, Christmas should be about spending time with loved ones and if your religious, it about the birth of Christ.

It has however become a hard time of year for so many people for many different reasons. It’s also a time of year where we need to be more vigilant about our dogs, their behaviour and eating habits.

There’s many reasons why this year can be stressful, however we would hope that you do make time to find the love in it.

Thank you for being a part of our TCP family.

Have a Merry Christmas

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”.

Ask us anything part 2 is obviously a flow on from our part 1 episode as we had so many questions to get through.

If you’re excited about this, you’ll be excited to know there’s a part 3 in the pipeline as well.

Thanks to all our loyal listeners who make the time to do this with us. We both hope you enjoy our rendition of your questions.

Ask us anything Part 1 obviously means there’s a part 2 in the works. However, if our devoted listeners have questions, we try and do our best to answer them.

Some of the questions were fantastic too and it was great to see so many of them. We have professed before and we will continue to do so, we are not the authority on everything. If we don’t know the answer to a question we hope to find the person who may have it.

Too many time in this industry we have people answering questions with no real knowledge of the topic. It’s important to ask the right person, not just someone who will put their hand up to have a go.

There’s no shame to ask the right questions to relevant people. The best part of any good education is to go on a journey to meet fascinating people with great stories.

Heather Beck IACP is another interview we were fortunate enough to record while in Colorado Springs. If you don’t know Heather, you need to see what this lady can do. She trains dogs, camels and rides a bull!

If that hasn’t got your interest peaking yet, we’re not sure what will. Along with all this, she has invented her own training lead, called the Transitional lead.

You can check out more about Heather and her invention on their website, K9 Lifeline

Minds blown depicts both our minds after recent discussions with people we have interviewed recently.

It’s a wonderful sensation at any time in your career that you can experience that “wow” moment. Some may even refer to it as an epiphany of sorts.

Dr Roger Abrantes IACP is an interview we have both been eagerly waiting for. Dr. Abrantes is an author on the behaviour of animals He has a PhD in evolutionary biology and ethology and a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy. He is the divisional director at the Ethology Institute Cambridge where he holds regular lectures.

Because of the work or people like Dr Abrantes, we now understand a lot more about the behaviour of animals. One of the key areas that he has stood out for us is his definitions on aggression and predatory behaviour.

He was also kind enough to correct us both on a mistake in our understanding that will be beneficial for the entire training community.

It was a genuine honour and privilege to have a conversation with this wonderful person.

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.

Canine consent is a topic we chose to look into on the weeks podcast as it’s one of intrigue. There is now a growing number of supporters suggesting that we should ask consent from a dog before certain practices.

However, when there’s an argument for a practice, there is usually one against. So naturally, there is a suggestion that it is not possible for a dog to consent to.

Now, we’re asking for the fact. What are they? What is the supporting science?
