Interviewing Melanie Benware in this episode was for two reasons. One, to find out a little bit more about her and her business. Two, to discuss her role as President for the IACP.

If you haven’t heard us speak of the IACP before, perhaps you are new to the show? This year we will be the official podcasters for the International Association of Canine Professionals.

As Mentioned above, Melanie has recently assumed the presidential role from our good friend, Tyler Muto.

Being the president in any organisation both comes with its advantages and its disadvantages. The main role of the president is not dissimilar than that of a ships captain. You need a great ship and a great crew to take care of your passengers.

Melanie also shares with us her role of becoming a professional dog trainer which is where all our hearts lie.

Jay Jack GRC update. Always wonderful to have our close personal friend Jay Jack back on the show. Being a fellow podcaster and one of our inspirations in creating our own show, we wanted to catch up.

On top of that, Jay will be in Australia this coming July 2019 to speak more about GRC. As we discussed on the show, this is a great dog sport that allows almost any dog type access. There are of course some conditions that may exclude dogs later on, however the entry levels are amazing.

If you don’t know who Jay is by now, he hosts his own show called GRC dog talk. Prior to that he was involved in a very successful podcast with fellow trainer and also friend of ours, Chad Mackin.

Jay is also a master in Brazilian jiu Jitsu, where he run his gym in Maine USA. This is also GRC headquarters.

When you hear Jay talk about his beginning in the dog world and how he shaped his career into becoming GRC, he attributes them to what he learned from his father.

You can hear Jay talk about that and more in episodes of Dog training conversations with Chad and many more great pearls of wisdom.

We can’t talk about a Jay Jack GRC update without mentioning our great friend, Jasmin Whiting, AKA Sweats. Jas is running and managing GRC in Australia and is bringing out Jay for his second tour.

Episode 80: Trial preparedness and nerves

Trial preparedness and nerves is something all dog sport competitors go through. In fact most people are nervous in trials. There’s something about putting it all on the line that scares the bravest of us.

However, it shows us where our preparedness has taken us and gives us insight on what we need to do next. It’s normal to be nervous in trials as we are being judged by our peers. It’s also because we take pride in our work and we want to do well.

Trial preparedness and nerves was an episode we wanted to speak more on after observing people in competition. Some people talk a lot, others not at all. Sometimes they become emotional by crying or being angry at their performance.

Some helpful measures before trialling are, getting plenty of rest, meditating, talking about how you feel. Everyone has their way of dealing with their own nerves.

Another important point is to practice the routine until it feels natural. Almost like you could do it blindfolded. Just by following these processes we can eliminate how nervous in trials we become.

Trialling does have an upside as well in that we can experience great joy and relief. We can also celebrate in victory if it goes our way. Trial preparedness and nerves is an episode that explores both the highs and the lows.

No matter how a competitor does, we should always support and encourage anyone who comes out on the field. It’s always easier to speak of something from the other side of the barrier.

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.

Episode 62: Interviewing Nicky Butler

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | iHeartRadio | TuneIn | RSS | More

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.

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?
