Neil was one of the key people who helped Ladybug walk again, proving the power of alternative therapies in canine rehabilitation.

Over the years, he has worked with a wide variety of breeds, from those with severe spinal injuries to dogs given poor prognoses—many of whom he has helped regain mobility. During this conversation, we discuss the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture in treating mobility issues, spinal conditions, and chronic pain in dogs.

    Episode 331: How dog training can be improved through fitness

    In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, we welcome our first guest of 2025, Gavin Crown, one of the few individuals in the world certified to teach CrossFit. As an expert in structured training, Gavin brings a fresh perspective on how fitness principles could enhance dog training. Many dog training methods rely on subjective assessments. However, fitness training follows a structured approach that tracks progress over time. By applying similar principles, trainers could improve their ability to measure a dog’s development, adjust training strategies, and ensure long-term success. Additionally, Glenn discusses an issue that is slowing down progress in the dog training industry. While trainers constantly seek to refine their techniques, some member groups actively block innovations. As a result, many professionals face unnecessary roadblocks, preventing real advancements in dog training. So, how can we change this? This episode explores practical solutions, offering a new way to think about progress. By combining structured tracking with modern training approaches, we can create a more effective and accountable system for trainers and dog owners alike.

    Episode 329: Kicking the can further down the road

    In this follow-up episode of The Canine Paradigm, we continue last week’s discussion on PETA’s stance on dog ownership. This time, we take a closer look at past comments allegedly made by Ingrid Newkirk, the founder of PETA, which suggest a desire to see pet ownership come to an end. Some of our listeners pointed out that PETA actively encourages people to adopt dogs from shelters. While this may seem contradictory, we examine whether there is a deeper motive behind this message. Could promoting shelter adoptions be part of a larger agenda? Glenn and Pat explore these perspectives, shedding light on the inconsistencies and controversies surrounding PETA’s messaging. If you’ve ever questioned the long-term vision behind certain animal rights movements, this episode is a must-listen.

    Episode 328: It’s cruel to crate train a dog

    In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, we address the controversial allegation by PETA that crate training is neglectful, therefore cruel to dogs. This bold claim has stirred debate within the dog training and pet owner communities. Glenn and Pat dive into why they vehemently disagree with PETA’s stance, breaking down the benefits of crate training when implemented correctly. Far from being cruel, crate training offers dogs a safe and comfortable space that supports their natural instincts. It can help with house training, reduce anxiety, and even keep dogs safe in certain situations. The episode also explores common misconceptions about crate training and provides practical tips for ensuring it is done in a humane and effective way. Whether you’re new to crate training or looking to challenge misleading claims, this episode brings clarity to an often-misunderstood topic.28: Is crate training cruel Further Details Are you in search of top-tier dog trainers and steadfast supporters of the Canine Paradigm?

    Episode 325: The importance of time and hermetic principles

    The importance of time and Hermetic principles. Glenn and Pat delve into two interconnected yet unique topics: the value of time and the application of Hermetic principles. Glenn highlights the critical role time plays in the lives of our dogs, emphasising how professionals in the dog industry—whether trainers or health specialists—are effectively giving dogs the gift of more time. By enhancing their quality of life, resolving behavioural challenges, or improving their overall health, these professionals add immeasurable value to the lives of our canine companions. Pat takes the discussion into an intriguing direction by introducing the Hermetic principles, a set of philosophical teachings that explore universal truths. He shares how these principles influence his perspective on dog training, problem-solving, and personal development. This blend of philosophical and practical insights offers a fresh perspective on how we approach our relationships with dogs and the time we share with them. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that merges the tangible impact of time with the philosophical depth of Hermetic teachings.
