Interviewing a new trainer should be a process that all new and existing dog owners strongly consider.

We say this because a lot of time, people end up with the wrong trainer for a range of different reasons. Many of these are because they didn’t do their homework in the first place. Other reasons include being duped by clever marketing.

It’s forgiveable to assume, big add, lots of money so they must be a great trainer. It can also mean that they are just great at marketing and average at the important part.

This really needs to be a win/win scenario which results in a great outcome for you and your dog

Whelping, raising and training puppies is an important conversation in most professional training circles. We know it comes with some backlash at times too by groups who want to see more rescue options.

Rescue is an important choice, however it should still be a choice and not a gun to the head obligation like many other opinions out there. You all know we support rescue. We encourage it on most levels and promote many of the good people doing it.

Likewise, we promote and encourage good breeding practices. Without them, we are losing the ability to produce sound dogs for valuable social roles.

We also introduce Geoff Madgwick to the show who invented a new whelping box called Whelpmate. Glenn contacted geoff a while back when he was expecting puppies from his French Bulldog. Geoff was kind enough to loan his invention so it could be tested and the results were very positive.

Whelping puppies is a tricky and intricate process that requires some thought when you plan to be involved. It’s true that dogs have been having puppies all by themselves for many years without our interference. It’s also advisable to be as much hands off as you can be, however you should know when to step in.

So if we are asked what dog is best for an application in regards to puppies and rescues, we agree that you should consider either. You need to consider your role requirements, your patience for pups etc.

If you have a need for an adult dog, go searching through the rescue organisations.

Our thoughts on group classes came about from a show listeners who asked a variation of good questions. Some of those questions were in relation to how to run the best type of class. Another question was, what would that look like?

Everyone has their take on what the ideal group class should like. Some prefer tradition, some prefer to make the trial orientated and some like to have their spin.

Good classes come from good management. If you establish a great environment, you will have people captivated and wanting to learn more. However, there’s more to it than just being organised and running classes.

You need to be well educated yourself. If you’re a team, that means that the team should be up skilled as well. Know your topic. Craft it like a master craftsman and give your clients access to the very best information.

classes should consist of all relevant classes from puppy all the way to advanced obedience. However, as mentioned, these are our thoughts on group classes.

Some training centres prefer to makes their classes more about socialization. Rather than focus on just routine, they focus on the benefit of having a dog who can cope with pressures of the world.

So we have shared our thoughts on group classes, we would appreciate you sharing yours. After you listen to the podcast, jump on to our Facebook group and fill us in on you perfect class.

Dog parks dystopia or utopia came about after Glenn had a small rant on social responsibilities and then Pat re-listened to the episode to correct a point on dog parks.

As Pat has a local community dog park area that functions well, he felt the need to makes some valid contributions about how well good people and their dogs behave in some areas.

Like everything, there are good and bad dog parks, so the important take home message is to ensure good research is conducted prior to taking your dog there and coming home with a bad experience.

We unpack a few topics through this discussion and it goes around in a few different directions, however the modus operandi is always around being responsible and following a good duty of care when out in public with your dog.
