Something slightly different from our usual show however, very relevant as it’s something that has an effect on all most people at one stage or another.  The dog industry can be exciting and challenging however, it can also be intimidating and reckless at times as egos are often unchecked.  Keeping Sane should be at the top of your priorities to maintain happiness.

It’s important to not ignore the signs of feeling burnt out and then knowing what to do before serious health issues start effecting your quality of life.

In any event, we always encourage people to seek out suitable health professionals at anytime, for any reason if you’re feeling overwhelmed for longer periods than normal.

As promised, we follow up with our good friend Jasmine Whiting to find out how she’s been getting on with life and her career in the dog training industry.

Jas, has been getting busy getting on with life with some big goals in her future and some big ones she’s already either made headway on or is getting into them now.

We’re impressed with how far she’s come in a short time.

Great to chat with our mate Forrest Micke who is not far away from returning to Australian shores for another educational super show. Forrest took a small break from the industry to catch up with other interests so we spoke about that in some detail.

Forrest has been well know in the industry as a very successful artistic trainer with his own flair in engagement, particularly in heeling, of which he has released several videos through Leerburg.

We catch up with our old mate Josh Moran who can now be officially adopted into the ‘Australian sons’ mantle as he’s about to head back here for his 3rd seminar tour.

Josh talks about his steps into starting his career, his time with Leerburg, his own dogs, his passion and his loves.

In this episode we get down to the topic of communication and how that can effectively enhance or breakdown by the very systems implemented between handler / trainer / dog.

Glenn & Pat and a whole bunch of awesome people got to trial our dogs in 2018 official PSA trial under judge Shawn Edwards so we talk about how it went down, all the emotions over the 2 days and what we need to work on next.

In this weeks show we had a group discussion with Brent Dry from The K9 Company in Melbourne and Shawn Edwards from the USA who were all in studio to have a discussion around how puppies should be raised for suitability into working roles for multiple applications.

It been a big 3 weeks of seminars with Chad and Jay, however Jay already headed home and Chad dropped in with Pat prior to the big flights back to the US. We got to reminisce a little about weeks gone by and just discuss thoughts about what’s been happening in the dog training industry in general.

There’s a lot going on in today’s shows. For starters, we test out a new musical intro the The Canine Paradigm that Pat has been working on himself before we cross over to PSA legends, Shawn & Janet Edwards in the USA to discuss with them how they started in their respective dog training careers and what lead them into their passion of PSA judges and decoys.

Shawn is also known in the decoy world as the Deadpool decoy for his artistic portrayal of Deadpool and all the shenanigans that go with it.

While he is still in the country, we grabbed Jay Jack to further elaborate his theory on the layered stress model that he and Chad Mackin refer to. Join us for a fun session with an entertaining breakdown on how it works and what it means to owners so they can better understand why their dog may have reacted
