The past couple of weeks in Sydney have been nothing short of amazing. We were thrilled to welcome our American family, Shawn and Janet Edwards, along with their colleagues Zack Burke and Travis Lloyd. Their expertise and passion for training were invaluable as they joined us for PSA trial judging, decoy certification, Deadpool decoy school, and Janet’s seminar.

Training is at the heart of everything we do, and having these experts with us elevated our sessions to new heights. The PSA trial judging was rigorous and insightful, providing our participants with constructive feedback to refine their techniques. Moreover, the decoy certification process was equally intense, ensuring that our decoys are prepared for any scenario.

One of the highlights was the Deadpool decoy school, where Zack and Travis showcased their advanced skills and strategies. This left our team inspired and eager to incorporate these new methods into our training routines. Additionally, Janet’s seminar was another standout, offering deep dives into specialized training techniques that captivated everyone in attendance.

Overall, this experience reinforced the importance of continuous training and collaboration. Consequently, we are grateful to Shawn, Janet, Zack, and Travis for their dedication and expertise. Their contributions have undoubtedly made a lasting impact on our training programs, and we look forward to future collaborations.

Episode 79: Cannabalism in the industry

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

Cannabalism in the indutry is also about a lack of support in the industry for each other. We find it incredibly frustrating that small groups of people just seem to want to go it alone. Can you imagine how much better it may be if we joined forces? Still doing our own thing but using our collectove might to speak up on issues. not just the small ones but the big ticket items.

We need to be better than this. The lack of support in the industry is honestly alarming. The dog sport groups being the worst. When we do talk about the cannabalism in the industry, it starts with many of these groups and works its way around.

Our groups don’t need to be best friends. We don’t all need to hang out with each other and yes, we can agree to disagree. All of us need to think about what’s happening outside our own pettiness. Who’s lobbying against us and what are they planning on taking away or stopping next?

These issues never go away and they will be with our children, however it’s what we do now that makes the difference. Other groups never rest. They never leave the wheel unmanned and they have far more people willing to take that wheel.

What’s even more surpring is that each side thinks they are the good guys. Each side feels they are doing the right thing. All side feels they are the champions of the dogs. Each side believes they are saving lives.

Glenn Cooke knows that lack of support in the industry will be our downfall and wont allow that at Canine Evolution

End of year circle jerk is a celebration of accomplishments within our show for 2108. We would like to thank everyone who listened, made time for interviews, helped, gave feedback and believed in us.

We have both had a phenomenal year, making friend, reaching out, learning about others and networking. The stories and the people we have met on the journey have been surreal to say the least.

We cannot thank you enough for taking us into your homes, laughing, crying, learning and celebrating with us.

2018 was a great year and we want to make 2019 even better and we would love your input into how we can make that happen. If there’s a person you think we should interview, let us know. If there’s a topic you think we should discuss, tell us about it. If there’s a fucker in the industry we need to tear apart, drop us a line.

Finally, we want to send warm gooey love to our Patreon supporters. You cannot know what your support means to us and how much we appreciate your patronage.

We hope you enjoy the End of year circle jerk as much as we did putting it together.

Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone. We love you all
