    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.

    Episode 324: Throwing cookies on the floor

    Merry Christmas from The Canine Paradigm! In this festive episode, we kick things off with holiday cheer and well wishes for all our listeners celebrating Christmas. As part of the fun, Pat dives into his fascination with the global sightings of drones and mysterious orbs, sparking a lively and light-hearted discussion. The episode then transitions to a controversial topic inspired by a recent publication claiming that dogs wearing a harness or collar are more likely to pull. We explore the science and implications of this claim, breaking down whether the tool itself is to blame or if the issue lies in the approach to training. We also discuss how different perspectives on training techniques, including the literal and figurative idea of "throwing cookies on the floor," shape dog behaviour and owner interactions. Join us for a mix of Christmas spirit, curiosity, and canine training insights in this engaging holiday special.

    Episode 323: Who is the main character in your story?

    In this episode, Who is the main character in your story? We dive into the complexities of dog training communities and the dynamics that arise within them. Recent verbal scuffles and heated discussions have led to accusations of cult-like behaviour among some groups and businesses in the dog training world. These disputes have raised important questions about loyalty, influence, and why people may follow individuals or organisations that demonstrate harmful or manipulative behaviour. We examine the psychological factors that drive such loyalty, from a desire for belonging to fear of exclusion or retaliation. We also explore how power dynamics, charisma, and manipulation tactics can play a significant role in these situations. This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences in the dog training industry—or any community they are part of—and consider who the main character in their story truly is. Are you acting in alignment with your values, or are you being directed by someone else’s agenda? Join us for an honest and thought-provoking discussion about influence, responsibility, and personal agency.

    Episode 322: Stop focusing on the spider

    In this weeks episode of The Canine Paradigm, we explore some of the most common challenges faced by dog owners and trainers, including resource guarding, destructive chewing, aggression, and a general lack of understanding of dog behaviour. The phrase “Stop Focusing on the Spider” serves as a reminder not to fixate on surface-level issues while overlooking deeper behavioural causes. We discuss how focusing too narrowly on a specific behaviour can cause trainers and owners to miss the bigger picture. For example, addressing destructive chewing requires understanding the root causes, such as boredom, anxiety, or unmet needs. Similarly, dealing with aggression or resource guarding goes beyond simply stopping the behaviour—it’s about understanding the underlying motivations and triggers. Throughout the episode, we break down practical strategies for approaching behaviour issues holistically. We highlight the importance of continuous learning and developing a deeper understanding of animal behaviour. Whether you're a trainer or a dog owner, this episode offers valuable insights into managing problem behaviours with a well-rounded approach.

    Episode 321: Pushing in and pulling out of behaviour

    In this weeks episode of The Canine Paradigm, we delve into the fascinating interplay between negative reinforcement and positive reinforcement in dog training. The concept of “pushing in and pulling out of behaviour” explains how negative reinforcement can push a dog into a desired behaviour, while positive reinforcement pulls them out by rewarding completion. We explore how this dynamic works in shaping behaviours and how it fits into the broader phases of training. From the initial learning stages to proofing behaviours for reliability, understanding the balance of reinforcement types can significantly improve training outcomes. Hopefully you will gain insights into practical applications of this concept, with examples of how to use shaping effectively to create clear communication with your dog. Whether you’re working on foundational behaviours or refining advanced skills, this episode provides valuable strategies for better training results.

    Episode 320: Personal accountability for you and your dog

    In this episode , we continue last week’s conversation about the challenges faced by dog rescue groups. While the previous episode focused on the difficulties presented by gatekeepers and front-facing roles, this week we shift the spotlight to the other side of the coin—poor accountability from those seeking to adopt or surrender dogs. Rescue workers often deal with a barrage of excuses and a lack of responsibility from the public, making their already demanding jobs even more challenging. We unpack some of the most frustrating behaviours and explore how personal accountability can make a huge difference for rescue organisations, adopters, and the dogs themselves. Beyond rescue, we discuss troubling behaviours in the broader dog industry. From unprofessionalism to ethical missteps, we address the importance of accountability at all levels. Finally, we dive into some wild conspiracies that initially seemed far-fetched but turned out to be surprisingly true. This episode is an eye-opener for anyone passionate about dog welfare, offering insights into the struggles of rescue workers, the importance of personal accountability, and some jaw-dropping industry stories.

    Episode 319: The crazy gate keepers in dog rescue

    In this weeks episode, we tackle some of the frustrating realities of the dog rescue world. We discuss how certain rescue groups create excessive red tape and barriers, making it incredibly difficult for well-meaning adopters to rescue a dog. This unnecessary gatekeeping can delay or prevent good people from giving a dog a loving home, and we explore why this happens and its impact on both adopters and dogs. On the flip side, we highlight the issue of loose operators who quickly “flip” dogs without the proper care or management. These operators often overlook essential safety and behavioural checks, putting both the dogs and new owners at risk. The episode brings to light these stark contrasts within the dog rescue community. However, it’s not all criticism. We also take a moment to recognise and celebrate the incredible rescue workers who truly make a difference. These dedicated individuals sacrifice time, energy, and resources to save dogs, often working tirelessly and under challenging conditions. Their passion and commitment deserve our deepest respect and gratitude. Join us as we unpack the complexities of the dog rescue world, share real stories, and advocate for a more balanced, responsible approach to helping dogs in need.

    Episode 318: What happens in America

    In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn Cooke shares his incredible experiences in America alongside his wife, Narelle Cooke.
