Hayley Hais from The Chewed Slipper in Nanaimo interviewed me on my business, dogs, training, and life. The time went very fast - thankyou Hayley

We just completed BootCamp which is 4 days of retraining reactive dogs. Maria, from Two Peaks Pet Services joined me to discuss what she saw and learned.

I did my second shadow program, and asked two of the ladies to share their experience.

We discuss the dogs I am training this week, and what makes one so incredibly trainable, and the other, well, not?

Is it being spoilt, wrecked by positive reinforcement training not done quite right, the lack of following, or is she abnormal? And what made the other so easy to train?

Find out as we start to work it out.

If you only ever use the same tools on every dog, you are not balanced. We talk through three dogs, and how they were trained, all with no corrections because that wasn't what they needed.

Jill and I are both considering adding a puppy to our families. This is our thought processes, what we are looking for in a puppy, the health testing we need to see done etc. Enjoy!

If you like our podcast please give us a five star rating to help us get found by other listeners. Thankyou

A reactive dog discussion.

We had a fun repeat conversation on presence - something that every reactive dog owner needs to master. Please share it and follow us

Forgive our laughter - we do discuss latchkey dogs and the benefits of staying home, and the changes we have seen in dogs now that this happens so much less.

I interview the ladies from The Calm Dog Studio in Victoria, BC about their business. We discuss what they’ve done right, what they’ve done wrong, and they give wisdom to any young upstart groomers. I hope these conversations will help entrepreneurs with running their own businesses.

Sometimes to free a dog up, or to make them be the best that they can be, we need to allow some badness. Again we talk about the video Marcelle the Shell. If you haven’t yet watched it, you should.

This is such an important topic that inevitably novices get wrong. Jill and I discuss it in detail, including the fall out if you go too soon. Enjoy. As always, if you like us please follow us and give us a review

How do other businesses come up with their unique ideas and create successful businesses? This week I talk to Hayley Hais, find out what she does, and how she pulled it off, I hope young entrepreneurs find her story inspiring.

1. Coping When Things Go Wrong - on social media we all hear about everyone’s successes. But what do they do when they fall down and keep screwing up? We’ve all been there - and here is a frank discussion on how to survive when you find yourself there.

Jill and I disagreed last week about the benefits of following, so this week, I won the argument. Sorry Jill, that was obnoxious of me.

However, it did create a really strong discussion on the benefits of following to build your relationship. Enjoy. Please like and share as far and wide as is possible.

Thanks to Maryna Ozuna for her brilliant questions - we answer the important and difficult topic she gave us. I feel like this is a decent first attempt - of how do we pass the subtle knowledge that we know to the younger generation?

On my FB page will be the video promised, and the photo of Pippa squashing the poodle, by poodle's request.

We discuss the last Building Bravery Seminar for my Shadow Program, and the secrets to success, and some of the difficulties teaching this group.

We got to interview Telah about our shadow program.

This is Telah’s amazing facility that is for sale in Illinois. https://www.facebook.com/share/18VaNbDcEb/?mibextid=WC7FNe

If you want it bad enough, you will find a way. If you don't, you will make an excuse. This is my mantra for life, and we discuss our challenges in this podcast. We do get off topic and discuss an awful new learning about what some trainers are doing with Place.

In this episode we discuss the fantastic Michaela Bouzkova, from Ontario Canada. https://www.instagram.com/expat_obedience/
