Only so many spoons to give is based on the theory of 10 spoons. This is a philosophy, that also represents how many fucks you may have to give in a day. So for example, if something you do takes energy away from you, that could be one or many spoons. However, if it’s something you enjoy doing, it may add them back again.

We hope you enjoy this concept as a measure of self help. It may indicate when you need to slow down and work out what you have in reserve to make it through the day.

Habits of attention whores in ANOTHER episode we have now done in response to people in our industry acting poorly! We actually thought we may have been done for a while after episode 88 but no. So here we are once again.

The dog training industry is full of some of the most amazing people you could ever meet. Many of them are so generous and friendly with hearts of gold. But every yin has its yang which means there are some turds too. These are your every day attention whores. Sad people looking for love in all the wrong places.

We need to be doing a lot better for this industry. we have said that quite a lot now and while things are on the improve, there’s more to be done.

Pocket of rocks in a glass house come from the phrase, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. We’re all guilty of it from time to time. Accusing others of the very things we do ourselves. However, some people don’t realise the damage they are doing to their own reputation.

Of course it’s a metaphor for judgemental hypocrites. The other problem here is that we often joke around about how it’s the industry. If it is prolific in our industry, how are we sustaining such a bad average?

Gardening is supposed to promote growth, not to encourage warfare. Lets practice been gardeners instead. Grow things, be useful, encourage your neighbours to do the same.

Help your neighbourhood, be useful, if you see a problem go help fix it, don’t just create more problems.

Do as I say not as I do is often a mantra echoed via teachers around the world. Sometimes, even parents will suggest this to their children, often for good reason. For example, a parent may drink alcohol which they are at the informed stage of life to do so. The parent would tell the child not to do the very behaviour they do for their own well-being.

However, the topic of this podcast came from our Facebook page and it relates to clients. Do as I say, not as I do is something you tell people to prevent them from making mistakes. We’re talking about mistakes they can’t live with and more from the dogs point of view.

Your client may see you doing something with your own dog and want to mimic your relationship. The problem for them is it may not reflect their ideals.

Our job as trainers is to give our clients the best relationship with their dog. This means we need to pay attention to the things that are most important to them. that way we are more successful at keeping dogs alive and in their original homes.

Interviewing Melanie Benware in this episode was for two reasons. One, to find out a little bit more about her and her business. Two, to discuss her role as President for the IACP.

If you haven’t heard us speak of the IACP before, perhaps you are new to the show? This year we will be the official podcasters for the International Association of Canine Professionals.

As Mentioned above, Melanie has recently assumed the presidential role from our good friend, Tyler Muto.

Being the president in any organisation both comes with its advantages and its disadvantages. The main role of the president is not dissimilar than that of a ships captain. You need a great ship and a great crew to take care of your passengers.

Melanie also shares with us her role of becoming a professional dog trainer which is where all our hearts lie.

Interviewing Greg Tonkins has been on the cards for a while. A fellow Aussie, larakin and bushy from the outback. Greg is well known for several reasons, one of them being great at pig hunting and training pig dogs.

We wanted to speak with Greg about this as he is injecting a bit of a spin on an old tradition. Pig hunting has remained similar in it’s training practices for many years , however Greg is looking to change that.

Greg also chats with us about the negative community feeling towards pig hunting. One of these issues is that people believe these are monster dogs that eat little babies and kill everything. They also have a incorrect image of pigs.

What people fail to realise is that are describing any dog with poor breeding and socialisation practices. Pig dogs in many cases are mixed breed dogs that are also family dogs. They do have a biological capacity for pig hunting, however it still needs to be trained.

We also talk about the negative aspect pigs are having on farm land and the environment. many don’t realise they are an introduced pest and in some cases very dangerous. Pig hunting does help to reduce the numbers and return the endangered species.

There’s a lot more we can tell you about Greg so we will look forward to having a chat with him in the future. We are looking forward to our next interview.

Episode 84: Ending dog world friendships

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | iHeartRadio | TuneIn | RSS | More

Ending dog world friendships can be a tough thing to do. Quite often these people are considered to be our family. They are people we may know very well and have been a part of each others lives for years. In many ways it can be like we are in a marriage.

It’s often not any easy thing to do to walk away from people you consider friends, family or maybe even real relatives. However, sometimes you need may need to. Relationships can become so toxic that it’s not good for either party to be involved in such situations.

You may need to do a little active soul searching yourself to discover if you are the problem. Sometimes, we point the bone of blame conveniently at others before we look within. If there’s often ongoing issues, you have to look at what is the common denominator.

An effective strategy in improving and maintaining good friendships is great communication. People can’t read minds and assumptions are considered the mother of all stuff ups.

Fortunately for us, our dogs will still love us and that’s a great resolution at the end of a tough day. We still need our friendships and our relationships. They still provide us with good health, good opportunity and love.

It’s better overall for us if we continue to enjoy our social interactions

Jay Jack GRC update. Always wonderful to have our close personal friend Jay Jack back on the show. Being a fellow podcaster and one of our inspirations in creating our own show, we wanted to catch up.

On top of that, Jay will be in Australia this coming July 2019 to speak more about GRC. As we discussed on the show, this is a great dog sport that allows almost any dog type access. There are of course some conditions that may exclude dogs later on, however the entry levels are amazing.

If you don’t know who Jay is by now, he hosts his own show called GRC dog talk. Prior to that he was involved in a very successful podcast with fellow trainer and also friend of ours, Chad Mackin.

Jay is also a master in Brazilian jiu Jitsu, where he run his gym in Maine USA. This is also GRC headquarters.

When you hear Jay talk about his beginning in the dog world and how he shaped his career into becoming GRC, he attributes them to what he learned from his father.

You can hear Jay talk about that and more in episodes of Dog training conversations with Chad and many more great pearls of wisdom.

We can’t talk about a Jay Jack GRC update without mentioning our great friend, Jasmin Whiting, AKA Sweats. Jas is running and managing GRC in Australia and is bringing out Jay for his second tour.

Further details

To find out more about Jack, can look him up at his official website. The Academy

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.

Urban myths in training. there’s literally hundreds of them. Some are funny, some are silly and some are harmful.

The harmful dog training myths are the problem ones as they are passed on to people by professionals. They then take what their told and tell others and so on.

Where do these myths come from? Who starts? Does anyone fact check? Dog training myths will always be around, however we should now start to put out some facts.

There’s not just urban myths in training, there are myths in all fields. I’m sure most of us have had a dad or uncle tell us a few old wives tales AND we believed them.

Remember the one your mum would say? If you pull a face and the wind blows, your face will stay that way!

Some of them were even classic ghost stories that we told to scare each other around camp fires

We had some fun with urban myths in training as there are some silly dog training myths out there. We hope you see the silly side in it as well and share the irony behind the story
