The most dangerous advice part 1 is focusing on something that really annoys Pat and he wants you all to know about it.

You will get access to great advice in your lifetime, however, some can be very dangerous.

The danger happens because it’s based on the bedrock of ignorance and it can get you or others hurt. Even though it may be coming from a good place, it still doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous advice.

The narrow scope between -R and -P was a fun conversation between both of us even though it’s a largely and technically debated subject.

The reason we consider it a narrow scope is due to it being a splitting of hairs in how easy it can be to confuse where the dogs head is and assume one state over the other.

That narrow section in the middle is often where assumptions are made and sometime a wrong choice is being made.

Temperament testing puppies vs adult dogs is a regular question many trainers are asked. Especially if they are to be considered for working dogs in roles that will needs some planning.

The benefit of the adult dog is that you have the raw product in front of you. Primarily, what you see is what you get. with so many things to consider, the adult dog will be a lot closer to what you want than a puppy is.

You still need to consider the temperament in pet homes and try and be as honest as possible with the client or the trainer for what the dog will be coming into.

The stick pushes you to the carrot came from a question Minke Van Den Bergh asked in our enormous list of listener questions. It’s a question we have looked into before from a different perspective but it still one that surfaces many times.

The question was in relation to losing your way in your job from time to time and how some days are a struggle.

Setting a dangerous precedent is focussing on how a state Government decided it would announce the banning of certain training tools.

The concern here once again, is the complete lack of industry consultation along the way with industry experts or any of the thousands of people who use these tools with enormous benefits.

We are joined by Kirsty Reid as she and Brittany Young with assistance from Marcia Davies, have created a on-line petition to demand better representation and consideration from Government decision makers.

What is a precedent you may ask? An earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances.

So you may not entirely support some of the training tools that are being considered on the banning list but again the precedence from this action will leech into other areas that will have an effect on something you do want or need.

You can email the ladies direct on dogtrainingqld@gmail.com to receive all the information you require on how to help support this cause.

Is your opinion interesting? Or do you just chime in to be a part of the conversation? It has been said that, ‘opinions are like ass holes because everyone has one’.

It’s also been stated, ‘you’re entitled to your opinion’. Regardless of how we feel about them, opinions will always be a part of our social structure.

The on-line dictionary references an opinion as, “a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge”.

For many of us, it’s the fact or knowledge section that creates the struggle in any conversation when both are absent.

We also spent this session discussing listener questions again.

The minimum standard of a dog trainer is a talking point we had with our friend, Jo Rosie Heffenden. The topic around being a trainer and standards gets brought up a lot in conversations.

The reason being is that there are so many trainers who do not have any certifications and in some cases, no real training at all.

So how can you be a dog trainer with no qualifications with such a huge responsibility? The answer is easy. Nobody seems to care much.

The ability to deal with pressure is different for all of us. This was relevant to some more of the listener questions we have been getting in our Facebook discussion group.

Some of us deal with pressure really well. We have been conditioned from young children to be extroverted and confident and find many tasks easy to overcome and adapt to.

Some of us have not. We may have had inadequate social preparedness or possibly even forms of early abuse, which may prevent us from feeling our best in difficult social encounters and tasks.

Sometimes pressure is one of those processors that you don;t know hoe you will manage with it until it presents itself or at the time of life it does.

We wrestled around with this topic and other questions from our audience once again for some P&G insights.

A never ending love is something that most of us experience with either people or our pets. Even when we experience the shattering grief of their loss, the love we shared is timeless and is brought back to perspective whenever we think of them.

However, just as we experience memories of love and happiness, we also experience the sadness and pain at times when we recall the moment of loss.

Birdy O’Sheedy joined us to speak about her loss of Luna recently and how it inspired her to share those feelings and also help those of us who need it to have a person with us who understands all of it when the sands of time start to slip away.
