August 07, 2026Ep282 - Why your dog runs the house
Does your dog growl when you ask them to get off the couch? Guard their bed? Ignore you inside the house but behave well outside? You're not alone.
In this episode, Panos dives into one of the most common issues dog owners face: a lack of structure at home. Many behaviour problems don't begin on the walk—they begin in the living room.

Topics covered:
- Why dogs become possessive of furniture and sleeping areas.
- Whether dogs should be allowed on the couch or bed.
- Why little dogs often get away with behaviours we'd never accept from a larger dog.
- How everyday routines shape your dog's behaviour.
- Practical ways to create calm, respectful behaviour inside the home.

Remember, freedom isn't something we simply give our dogs—it's something they earn through responsibility and good choices.

Whether you're raising a puppy or working through behavioural issues with an older dog, this episode will help you build a calmer, more enjoyable home for both you and your dog.

July 25, 2026Ep281 - Brett Bailey from Who's a Good Boy Industries
In this episode of Life With Your Dog, Panos sits down with Brett Bailey, founder of Who's A Good Boy Industries in New York City.
Brett is a professional dog trainer whose work blends practical experience with a deep interest in canine cognition, neuroscience, and behaviour change.
We explore how dogs learn, the role emotions play in behaviour, why so many owners unintentionally reinforce the problems they're trying to solve, and what it really takes to create lasting behavioural change.
We also discuss the unique challenges of training dogs in a busy urban environment, where everyday life provides constant distractions and opportunities for learning.
Whether you're a dog owner looking to better understand your dog or a trainer wanting to think more deeply about behaviour, this conversation is packed with practical insights and thought-provoking discussion.

July 02, 2026Ep280 - If nothing changes, nothing will change!
Many dog owners say they want their dog's behaviours to change... but are we willing to change ourselves?
In this episode, we explore a simple idea that has a huge impact on dog training: if nothing has changed, nothing will change. More often than not, lasting behaviour change starts with the owner, not the dog.
We discuss how our daily habits, consistency, timing and expectations shape our dogs' behaviour, and why repeating the same actions while expecting different results only leads to frustration.
Diving into the science of learning, looking at how operant conditioning creates the repetitions that eventually become classical conditioning—turning trained behaviours into lasting emotional associations and habits.
If you're serious about creating long-term change in your dog, this episode will challenge you to first look at the other end of the leash.

June 20, 2026Ep279 - Why you can't lie to your dog [Q&A]
In this episode, Panos explores the gap between what people say and what they actually do and why dogs are often the most honest judges of our behaviour.
Dogs don't listen to our intentions.
They don't care about our excuses.
They respond to the patterns we create every day.
In this episode:
Why actions reveal more than words
Why you can't lie to your dog
What dogs are actually looking at when deciding who to trust
Can dogs tell when we're being fake?
What training thousands of dogs has taught us about people
Are dogs a reflection of the habits and behaviours of the humans raising them
Panos answers listener questions from Nathan, Rebecca and Tom.
People hear what you say. Dogs experience what you do.

May 19, 2026Ep277 - Play, train, exercise
On this episode of Life With Your Dog, Panos talks about the concept of Play, Train & Exercise and why the best sessions with your dog combine all three together.

From structured walks and tug games to obedience around distractions and building functional communication, this episode explores how to create a more fulfilling relationship with your dog while still meeting their mental and physical needs.
