Ep31 [Puppies 101] Walking Your Pup, & Acquiring Sibling Puppies [Pros & Cons]
Today's episode covers 2 topics. Walking your puppy can be a challenge, and learning some basics can really help. Panos doesn't teach 'loose lead' walking for puppies under 6 months old, but building a foundation to help for those future times really makes a difference!
If you are thinking of it, or already own 2 puppies from the same litter, Panos & Luke discuss the importance of following guidelines to prevent future issues. The 2 main issues here (but not limited to these) are separation anxiety and aggression problems. Enjoy this Puppy 101 episode - any questions hit us up on our different platforms.

Ep30 - Dog Barking At TV - How Do I Stop This? [Q&A]
Dogs barking at the TV can be a fairly common problem. Interestingly, it is more prevalent with modern TVs as the old-style TVs (before LCDs) were very hard for dogs to actually see the TV picture.
Panos goes through how to use COUNTER-CONDITIONING and DESENSITISATION to address this issue. As always, successful dog training comes down to GOOD MANAGEMENT! Set yourself and your dog up for success, not problems.

Ep24 - What Dogs Have Taught Me (Four-Legged Therapists For People!)
Taking a break from our usual Q&A episode, this week Panos sits down by himself to mull over what dogs have taught him in his many years of working alongside these majestic creatures. In these uncertain times that bring increased anxiety, dogs have the ability to take us out of our HEADS and bring us more into our BODIES. Anxiety is a fear of the unknown FUTURE - while dogs can bring us into the PRESENT!
We teach dogs to live in our society, while our dogs teach us to live in the now. Being present is a side effect to this understanding. Keeping up with routine with our dogs even though you can slip out of yours. If you have training goals with your dog, the ritual of training and practice is further strengthening your discipline with a new skill, project or goals of our own. Dogs are optimistic, and this encourages us to be more positive even when we feel down and out.

Ep23 - When & Why To Use Punishment
This episode comes to you from Coronavirus quarantine! Luke has been unwell so we took precautions and recorded this remotely over the internet.
"Punishment" can be a highly controversial topic within the dog training industry. There can be serious animosity between the balanced and force-free communities. However the smart approach is to realise that both can learn from one another and meet in the middle.
Many terms can be misconstrued, but even putting a dog in "time out" or withholding pats counts as punishment! Many people who claim to never use punishment are very likely using it without acknowledging this...
Panos goes through many different examples and scenarios, drawing on his personal experiences of dog training to navigate this controversial but NECESSARY topic for your dog's long term wellbeing.

In these times of uncertainty and anxiety, some are forced into lockdown, some are home for self isolation quarantine & others are having to work from home.
What does this mean for our dogs? Panos talks about opportunities for training, exercise and not getting distracted by your dog while working from home.
Maintain structure, but switch up the routine as much as possible. See the opportunities rather than the negatives in this pandemic.
We hope and pray that you and your family are doing ok in the trying times. Our best survival technique is staying happy, healthy and strong, learn from our dogs, be in the present moment and look after family and community.

Ep21 - "Play" With Our Dogs (Benefits Of, And Different Styles Of Play)
This week we discuss the benefits of play, and different styles of play with dogs.
A game of tug or fetch can be used to reward behaviours in your training. It becomes a relationship-building exercise to help strengthen your bond.
Play also provides the opportunity to teach dogs to follow commands in high states of arousal, which can improve impulse control.

Remember, the first 17 weeks are a CRUCIAL learning & socialisation period for your puppy - meaning any experiences will have a permanent effect on the dog. Panos goes through some tips to ensure these are positive experiences, while also addressing the 'embarrassment' you may feel from having to be strict with your family and friends.

Tips For Looking After a Friend's Dog During The Christmas Holidays [Q&A]
It's that time of the year for family getaways, and if your dog can't join in, a friend may have volunteered to look after the pooch.
Things to consider before taking on the responsibility are:
Making sure the dog gets along with the other dogs it's starting with or is good with the rest of the family.
That there is adequate space for the dog or extra dogs and the property is secure.
Regular exercise & training.
Does the dog have separation anxiety/distress?
Feeding guidelines.
Does the dog have medical issues or requires meds?
Firework phobia?
Panos goes through these topics, and how it is important to consider them before either taking on a friend's dog or letting a friend look after your dog.

Can Dogs Be "Certified" To Walk Without a Leash? [Q&A]
Today's question comes from Nicholas, who is wondering if it is possible to legally walk his dog off-leash, or to have it certified for doing so.

Ep7 - To Dog Park, Or Not To Dog Park? (That Is The Question!)
Dog parks seem to attract a lot of dog owners for the simple reason that most dogs have a really fun time playing with other dogs. Even though this is true, there are many issues that are created at dog parks.
The dog park could potentially be a dangerous place. Not all dogs are social in the way we would expect, which can lead to your dog having a really bad experience. Panos has trained over 1000 dogs in his career, and a big percentage of dogs he sees that are dog aggressive/reactive are a result of a bad experience at the dog park.
Also it can be a place where your dog learns to ignore you and place a higher value in other dogs, which isn't the worst thing, but can potentially affect your training. This doesn't mean all dog parks are bad or that your dog is guaranteed a bad experience but this episode is to share some light on the topic.
To dog park or not to dog park is up to you to decide, but make sure you make a well informed decision before entering.

The walk should be an enjoyable time for both sides of the lead.

Ep5 - What Does It Mean To "Train" Your Dog? (It's Broader Than You Might Think)
Hint: It may not be what you'd previously thought. Often we assume that "training" is limited to when the dog trainer shows up, but it's far more encompassing.
*Understanding dog body language, basic understanding of teaching the main commands, regular exercise and mental stimulation.
*Learn what dogs need to live and thrive in our world, keep rituals and be consistent with all practices.
*Training is more than merely teaching commands - it is about enriching their needs on many levels and educating yourself accordingly.Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show! If you did, please hit Subscribe and leave us a review or 5-star rating in the podcast app that you found us on.
