Help your mates is a term touted in Australia ever since I can remember. For a while it seemed to run out of a bit of steam which is unfortunate. In some cases, people work on the premises of screw your mate.

When you watch people beating each other over toilet paper, that makes you question the integrity of mates and mate-ship.

In any emergency, you must take care of yourself first. You simply have to or the possibility of two accidents or worse exists. Then when you’re in a good position, try and be of service to others. That’s the true meaning of mates.

You don’t have to give them everything you have! Sometimes it’s just simply a beer and a chat.

Honestly, sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest differences

The Fat commando may seem ironic as a heading and you may be wondering what’s the relevance? Well to answer that, you will have to listen to the episode smarty pants. While we are talking about smarties, Americans don’t even have real smarties like Australians do. I mean, WTAF? They are not the same and not delicious. Lift you game USA, because Canada knows what we’re talking about.

We are living in strange times indeed and it has nothing to do with getting fat from eating delicious smarties! Dam it, now I want some and I’ll probably need a bodyguard to get to the store.
Herein lies the issue. We are under siege by a worldwide virus, COVID-19 and it’s scaring the shit out of people as the world has crawled to a pace we have never seen before.

Even though this is a dog training and behaviour podcast at the core, it’s still a community based show. We care about you and we care about our community and we don’t want you to get too fat on smarties during restricted movement.

We hope this passes soon and you and your loved ones stay safe during these uncertain times.

Keep informed by trusted science based updates. Not by old mate Tom down the road. Fuck that guy, unless he brings Smarties and toilet paper.

The six p’s is an episode that focuses entirely on being a better organised dog owner or handler. The six p’s mean that proper preparation prevents piss poor performance.

It’s an expression that’s been around for quite a while and is still used frequently in many services. When you think about it though, it’s hard to argue with. When you have a plan, it makes the operation so much easier. It relieves stress, because you’re organised, it increases the time factor, it prevents frustration and adds more value to your life.

There are so many positive factors that it’s almost hard to think we wouldn’t do it. However we are human. It’s easy for us to become motivated by other pursuits.

If it sounds familiar, it’s something that annoys us about our own dogs behaviour. Therefore, if we identify it early, we can collectively work on resolving that as an issue as well.

It sounds like like a lot to do but it will make your life far more enjoyable. Just think of the six p’s.

Never stop learning should be a mantra that most people adopt throughout their lives. When we open ourselves to learning something we expand so many opportunities.

It enhances lives, communities, businesses you name it. The more we open ourselves up, the less ignorant we are and the more progressive we can be.

rather than fight something on rumour or innuendo, we can really know what we’re fighting for.

Students of dog training need to remain educated over being opinionated. We will all do far better for our dogs and our community if we continue to grow.

Tobias Gustavsson is one of the team behind the Scandinavian Working Dog Institute. Tobias is not only involved in just training, he and his team are heavily involved in the science application.

If you know anything about scent detection, you will know that it is considered an evolving science. There are so many areas about Canine olfaction we are still learning about.

This is why it’s so important to have research teams like Tobias and his colleagues. if we want to get better at what we do, we need updated information.

Along with interviews like Cameron Ford and others who are involved in deep research, Tobias speaks of the importance of puppies

Tobias also shares with us a small part of history on how his former colleague came up with the Swedish Mentality test.

Web hope you enjoy another sensation interview with a leading trainer

Rescue dog remedy is an episode that we felt should be discussed as an help file for new owners. not just new owners, it’s also for people who have been given incorrect information.

For example, some people are told that their rescue dog has been a part of a bait ring. In a majority of cases, this is highly unlikely. It doesn’t mean some dogs are not subjected to this torment. It does mean that at one time it became a story that escalated quickly.

Because of this and other reasons, we felt it was time to make a reference episode for the rescue community. Therefore, we can help by dispelling myths and educate on more of the accuracy.

If you are looking to get yourself a rescue or know someone that is, perhaps consider this episode. It may give someone a better start to sharing a life with a new dog.

We would like to acknowledge many of the people who work in this field. There are so many who give their time freely and compassionately. It can be full of reward and tears as there are so many moving parts in this industry.

People also like to know what they can do to help out. Sometimes a donation will go a long way, other ways to help are to volunteer.

Another suggestion we encourage is to do some research. This will go a long way in helping you learn a lot more about who you’re dealing with. There are always a mix of good and bad in all industries.

At any time if you are uncertain, reach out and ask others in the industry. Use resources that are available on-line and don’t let emotions cloud good judgement.

Reflection and Gratitude are virtues that most share around the time midnight ticks over on the 31st of December. Reflection allows us to examine life in and around us with a little more detail. Gratitude is recognising the many good people and things in our life that have made it great.

For example, if we both reflect on the past 2 years, we are very grateful for where we are. We are also grateful for where we are going. The AMAZING people around us, the opportunities that have arisen.

Sometimes in life, we look and focus on the things that are hard and not going as planned. It’s a little to easy to focus on these at times so it’s good to have reminders on what to be grateful for. It also allows peaceful reflection.

We hope you all have a wonderful 2020 and we thank you for following us on our journey.

Please join us on more education and hilarity throughout the year.

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
