Editor’s note: Episode 58 contains absolutely no structured dog training content - just a rambling chat between Jacob and Kirky, and quite frankly, some extremely inappropriate games. If you’re here for practical advice or behaviour insights… skip this one.
But if you fancy a laugh, want to escape the seriousness of the world, or just enjoy a completely unfiltered chinwag between two unqualified philosophers - this might be for you.
Let this be a lesson for the boys to start preparing, as there is absolutely nothing of value in this episode. And quite frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves.
Listen at your own discretion.
The boys dedicate this one to Uncle Glenn Cooke x

In a Caffeine and Canines first, there’s no Jacob this week - but don’t worry, AJ’s stepped up to join Kirky for a reflective (and hilarious) deep dive into the dogs of their past.
