Training ideas during lock down is now the new norm for now which means we need to evolve. No one we know saw this coming, it’s the stupidest thing and it’s very serious.

What is even more serious during this lock down process is how it will effect peoples lives and businesses. Not to mention the impact it’s already having on mental health.

So the lock down means change to our life and to our income. Fortunately we have access to the internet and we can still be somewhat social.

To many people, it’s a lifestyle they are sadly familiar with. Staring at their phone all day, living inside, being anti social. They can now live their best life without judgement.

For the rest of us, adaptation is the key. Get used to it and gear up for change.

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.

Taking care of you may sound arbitrary, however it’s often so easy overlooked and undervalued. In many cases, dog handlers will fuss more over what their dog is eating while not giving a second thought to themselves.

It’s so wonderful that we are learning to take better care of our dogs. Owners are making better choices in diet and staying more informed on what should go into their pets food.

But what about us? Why is it that our care has taken a back step? What type of backwards world are we living in that our health and wellbeing plays second fiddle to our pets?

This is why Narelle is speaking about her passion to make you aware of how easy self care can be. Furthermore, if we do spend a little more time on our health, it pays off in dividends in our training.

Finally, if you want more advise on how to do this, reach out to Narelle because it’s what she does best.

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.

Patience is a virtue. It’s also one of those traits many of us lose all too often. We all know we should have more of it as it serves us well in so many life aspects. Such as work, family and dog training, just to name a few.

Luck for us we have our beloved Birdy to join us on the show once again to coach both of us in patience. We know we can benefit from it as it highlights so many applications.

Just editing a podcast takes patience. There’s lots of stops and start along the way to get this content cleaned up.

But what about in dog training. When shaping new skills we have to be patient. It takes time to learn new skills for puppies and dogs or any other species.

“Beware the fury of a patient man”.

Ask us anything part 2 is obviously a flow on from our part 1 episode as we had so many questions to get through.

If you’re excited about this, you’ll be excited to know there’s a part 3 in the pipeline as well.

Thanks to all our loyal listeners who make the time to do this with us. We both hope you enjoy our rendition of your questions.

Ask us anything Part 1 obviously means there’s a part 2 in the works. However, if our devoted listeners have questions, we try and do our best to answer them.

Some of the questions were fantastic too and it was great to see so many of them. We have professed before and we will continue to do so, we are not the authority on everything. If we don’t know the answer to a question we hope to find the person who may have it.

Too many time in this industry we have people answering questions with no real knowledge of the topic. It’s important to ask the right person, not just someone who will put their hand up to have a go.

There’s no shame to ask the right questions to relevant people. The best part of any good education is to go on a journey to meet fascinating people with great stories.

Canine consent is a topic we chose to look into on the weeks podcast as it’s one of intrigue. There is now a growing number of supporters suggesting that we should ask consent from a dog before certain practices.

However, when there’s an argument for a practice, there is usually one against. So naturally, there is a suggestion that it is not possible for a dog to consent to.

Now, we’re asking for the fact. What are they? What is the supporting science?
