Caffeine and Canines

Are we real dog trainers anymore? This week, we address the critics head-on. We dive into the dark side of internet fame, why engaging with trolls is a massive mistake, and the psychological trap most trainers fall into online.

We are also joined in the studio by Val who’s come all the way from Maine, USA to join us for a week. We catch up with her on how she’s found the mentorship and her week at YCA.

This week, we are tackling one of the most highly requested topics: what to actually do when an off-leash dog charges up to you. We are completely ripping up the conventional rulebook and giving you an entirely different mindset to handle the chaos.

Plus, we suffer through what might be the most disappointing Tiramisu in podcast history, and try to figure out which one of us was brutally insulted by a client in their homework feedback.

Are you confusing "fairness" with emotion when training your dog?This week, alongside celebrating a massive milestone for YCA, we drop some very hard truths. We break down the biggest misconception owners have about "fairness" and discuss a big mistake people make with ecollars. If your dog's behaviour isn't where it needs to be, this is the reality check you need to hear.And of course, it wouldn’t be Caffeine and Canines without some ‘shaft’ talk, we hear from Pablo about his painful journey to Circumcision.

Are you ruining your dog's progress by trying to control every single second of their life?This week, we dive deep into the trap of micromanaging your dog. If you want a dog with true off-lead freedom and agency, you have to stop trying to cap their every move and let them actually make decisions.We also tackle the debate around hand-feeding, discuss why "accidental" dog bites don't exist, and go off on a massive rant about the online dog training industry.

Are dog trainers just people who want to avoid humans?This week, we get into a massive debate about the dog training industry and why it seems to attract absolute weirdos. We break down the psychology of why so many people use dogs as a conduit for their own problems, the difference between actual coaching and just projecting frustration, and why true dog training requires you to be good with people, not just animals. Also, Adam tells us how he ended up featured on the news as a hero for saving a guys life outside a gym in Perth and you're in luck...he has another poop related story to tell us.

In this episode, we get to know Adam from our brand-new sister company all the way in Australia, Perth Canine Academy.

We hear how his journey to work took a turn for the worse and how he dealt with the ‘shitty’ situation he found himself in. We also get to hear Jacob's previously cut road rage story.

When we eventually manage to steer the podcast back to dogs, we tackle a massive training concept: the risks of 'superstitious' behaviour, and why a clear punishment marker is exactly how you prevent it.

👇 Let us know in the comments: Where is the weirdest place you’ve done an emergency poo?

his week, we dive deep into the philosophy of "Purpose Deprivation." We also tackle the unavoidable aversives of life, breaking down how we can better manage them, not just in our own lives, but in our dogs lives too.We interrupt the podcast to make a live airport phone call to drop a massive global announcement for YCA. Plus, The Mutt Nut shares (with a little persuasion) some amazing personal news.Shout out to our sponsors: Twenty Two Eleven | VIP Car Sourcing - https://www.instagram.com/twentytwo_elevenvip/The Canine Carpenter | Dog Training Equipment UK | Handcrafted in Norfolk - https://www.instagram.com/thecaninecarpenter?igsh=MW1rM2x4ZHQ2dDk0Zg==

This week, we take the podcast on the road to Hickorys to see how the latest cohort of bootcampers handle the real world.We catch up with Bodie and his parents (the dog that Jacob flat-out didn’t believe we could train in just 5 days) to hear about their breakthrough week. We also send them on their journey with a crucial piece of advice that every dog owner needs to hear to make their training stick.Meanwhile, Kirkey consumes an ungodly amount of Tiramisu, and the back half of the episode devolves into unfiltered YCA office gossip... including a highly questionable debate around Tapas.

In this episode, Jacob finally shares the highly anticipated story of what happened when he woke up to a man standing at the end of his bed at 3 AM. What follows is an absolute masterclass in home defence, involving a broken heel, a barefoot foot chase, and a showdown you won't believe.But we've sprinkled in some highly valuable dog training food for thought along the way. We tackle the dangerous reality of dogs reacting to bicycles and explain why ditching the food bowl to make your dog work for their meals will completely change their mindset.
