Larry Krohn IACP 2019 heads up our first of several interviews we had the honour of conducting at this years conference. What an amazing turnout it was too. With over 500 members in attendance, we got to see some amazing presenters and attendees.

No stranger to The Canine Paradigm, Larry Krohn is also known to many around the world. He is a generous Vlogger giving away so much material which has earned a following around the world.

Speaking of Larry and his vlogger efforts, his Youtube views have reached over 7 million views.

Prior ro coming to conference this year, Larry was just coaching in Scotland with another buddy, Duke Furgerson. We got to hear a little of the run down on what they were both doing over there. From the sounds of things, we could learn something from their practices.

A very popular trainer and a hell of a nice guy, we’re sure you’ll enjoy this episode as much as we did.

Conversations with trainers in Melbourne happened as we were doing out first ever combined seminar thanks to Alex Edwards. If you don’t know Alex, he’s a buddy of our from Melbourne running his own training centre. Alex has hosted several trainers around Australia and the USA. He also shares our passion of improving our industry. His company is called, Refine Your Canine and we will link it below.

In the past, a lot of dog trainers have been very jealous of each other. They have spent too much energy trying to discredit their fellow industry operators. We’ve often addressed on the show how important it is to turn this around.

For our own good, we need to work together more and raise standards. It is happening but it’s happening at a slow pace. There’s an old joke that says that the only thing two dog trainers will agree on is what the third is doing wrong.

We need to stop thinking like this and it’s promising to know there are people wanting to change these practices. It’s a long blown out way of saying how much we appreciate Alex for supporting his own.

Dog trainers in Melbourne have really been investing in their education as have many of the other states. We loved having the time to meet many of the people who gave their time to come and see us.

Thank you to the trainers who came up to share their back stories on the show. It was a wonderful weekend we wont forget.

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.

Bart Bellon on remote trainers is a story about Bart and Michael Bellon and their development of the Chameleon. The Bellon’s were involved in the early concept of remote trainers with Charles Martin and then bought the company.

Bart goes on to explain what the difference is with a Martin systems compared to other models on the market.

As many of you already know, The Canine Paradigm doesn’t shy away from talking about everything. We don’t condone stupid training or animal cruelty, even though some view remote trainers in this light.

Many feel it’s important to have an open mind, open heart approach to training. We also feel that knowing all side of the story makes the story complete.

For us, we felt it important to have Bart Bellon on remote trainers as he is one of the world authorities. Inventor and user for people in our industry, he and Michael have a sound idea on the application and design.

We know that some people will always have an opinion based in fear and in grape vine stories. We only recommend that real investigation with industry professionals at least be explored.

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
