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? Further details Fine out more about GRC dog...

Jay Jack on Flexi's at IACP was always bound to be a topic of controversy and hilarity mixed with education. It's almost impossible now to know this show and not know Jay Jack as he has contributed a so much. In fact you would most likely know of his podcast with Chad Mackin, Dog training conversations. So at this years conference, Jay got to present on Flexi Leads and as expected, it was a crowd pleasing topic. Jay was very entertaining and dig a great job of presenting his argument. If you're ...

Dr. Casara Andre IACP 2019 was an unexpected delight at the conference this year. We had never heard of her or the work she was involved in until now. This is why having these opportunities is so important so we can meet new people and find out what they are doing. Cannabis, THC and CBD have been a stigma for many years and only recently have we begun to relax. Laws in many countries now are starting to realise that there are potential treatments available. Even now there are new studies in the ...

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. http://ww...

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 averag...

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...

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 involve...

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...

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 capt...

Trial preparedness and nerves is something all dog sport competitors go through. In fact most people are nervous in trials. There's something about putting it all on the line that scares the bravest of us. However, it shows us where our preparedness has taken us and gives us insight on what we need to do next. It's normal to be nervous in trials as we are being judged by our peers. It's also because we take pride in our work and we want to do well. Trial preparedness and nerves was an episode we...

Trainers making terrible videos does not portray our industry well. It creates ammunition for the parties already with agendas. In this pod-cast, we discuss our concerns around the videos but also ask what could be done better? How do you convince a fellow trainer that their work that they believe is good is in fact, not? The question that needs to be asked is, if it was you, what would change your mind? Trainer videos fall into a lot of categories. Some are complete marketing nonsense, some are...

Who governs the animal law makers is a question most of us should be asking. It's important to know who writes our laws and why? Who are the key stakeholders the benefit from the news laws or even many of the old ones? Is it some of us and if so who are they, or do we all benefit? Is it for the good of the community or for the popularity and relevancy of a politician? As you can see above, there's already a list of questions that can be asked and should be. For many of us in the dog training ind...

Greyhounds and horses with Jedda and Georgie is the longest title we believe we have had on our show before. This podcast may raise some eyebrows in some circles as both ladies are involved in the racing industry. Not unlike most industries, there is speculation and often untruths around what people think and feel. This occurs more often when people feel strong emotions about something they see as aversive. It's true that animal racing industries have had dark past and unscrupulous people. Those...

Asked to leave a dog club may not be the same as being kicked out of a dog club. Sometimes it feels like the same thing, however their may be valid reasons why the club cannot except you. They may be full, you may not be suitable or your dog may not be suitable or it could be conflict. Not all clubs are the same though. Some are very transparent, some are deceptive. Many are run by dedicated and hard working people, some are run by people who are small in many ways other than their ego.Groucho M...
