    Ep277 - Play, train, exercise

    On this episode of Life With Your Dog, Panos talks about the concept of Play, Train & Exercise and why the best sessions with your dog combine all three together. Rather than separating walks, obedience and play into completely different activities, Panos explains how engagement, structure, rewards and movement can all work together naturally in everyday life. From structured walks and tug games to obedience around distractions and building functional communication, this episode explores how to create a more fulfilling relationship with your dog while still meeting their mental and physical needs.   Panos' book - The Nooch's Pooches Method: A Comprehensive Guide to Training and Living with Your Dog https://amzn.asia/d/f1wzLQK Find us online >> Panos @ www.npdogtraining.com >> www.facebook.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.instagram.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com

    Ep276 - Dog shelter industry veteran: Lisa Wray

    In Episode 276, Panos and Luke sit down with Lisa Wray, who spent 16 years working and managing the shelter where Panos has volunteered for over a decade. Lisa shares what it really takes to run a high-functioning shelter—from building a tight-knit team to creating an environment where both staff and dogs can thrive. Her leadership played a key role in improving the welfare of the animals, proving that good people management directly impacts dog outcomes.

Panos reflects on his 10+ years working alongside Lisa as a volunteer trainer, supporting staff and volunteers in handling and training resident dogs. This episode is packed with practical insights for anyone interested in dog behaviour, shelter work, or what it truly means to lead from the front.

    Ep275 - Mistakes that dog owners make during walks

    Most dog owners are accidentally reinforcing bad behaviour on every walk. In this episode, Panos breaks down the biggest mistake - putting the walk on autopilot. Pulling, scanning, and ignoring you all get rehearsed daily without realising. Walks aren’t just exercise - they’re training. Learn how small changes in structure and intention can completely change your dog’s behaviour.   Panos' book - The Nooch's Pooches Method: A Comprehensive Guide to Training and Living with Your Dog https://amzn.asia/d/f1wzLQK Find us online >> Panos @ www.npdogtraining.com >> www.facebook.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.instagram.com/lifewithyourdogpodcast >> www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com

    Ep274 - Buddy Spohn from Lateral K9

    Buddy Spohn from Lateral K9 joins Panos and Luke for a deep dive into what really drives dog training success. They unpack how to build true motivation in any dog, why scent work is such a powerful outlet, and how modern social media is confusing more dog owners than it’s helping. Training should always feel like play—and explores what that mindset actually creates in dogs over time. The boys discuss the old adage, you don’t always get the dog you want… you get the dog you need. And what you do with that matters. This episode is a mix of practical insight, real-world experience, and a few uncomfortable truths that every dog owner and trainer should hear.

    Paul Zubcic from Summerland Dog Training joins Panos to dive into the world of K9 tracking.

Paul also shares some great stories from his time on the job, giving a glimpse into what tracking looks like in real-life scenarios. Tracking is one of the most fascinating skills a dog and handler can develop—and this episode gives you a clear, practical look at how it all works.

    Ep272 - Jay Jack: Windows of opportunity, mistakes & the truth about training

    Panos sits down with renowned trainer Jay Jack for a direct and thought-provoking conversation about the craft of dog training and personal development. Jay breaks down his concept of “windows of opportunity” — explaining that most windows in life are natural… except for “work.” Work is not something that magically presents itself. It must be created, pursued, and stepped into deliberately. The conversation then shifts to one of the most important drivers of growth: mistakes. Rather than avoiding them, Jay explains how mistakes are essential for development. Panos and Jay unpack how trainers — and dog owners — can reconcile their errors, take ownership, and use those moments as fuel for long-term progress instead of shame or stagnation. This is an honest, practical discussion about growth, responsibility, and doing the work — in dog training and in life.

    Ep271 - The big 3 factors affecting your dog's health, with Dr. Will Maginness

    Panos sits down with Dr Will Magness — veterinarian and founder of 5 Hounds dog food, to unpack some of the biggest (and often most misunderstood) topics affecting dogs today.   The conversation explores the three major factors influencing dog health, why Dr Will started 5 Hounds, and the common issues seen in kibble-only diets. It also dives into proper feeding, the link between food and allergies, and the ongoing discussion around early desexing, including ideal timing and possible alternatives.   They examine whether dogs are being over-vaccinated, why yearly vaccinations are still commonly recommended, and what a titre test actually is and when it makes sense.   This is a balanced, practical conversation, not fear-based, not dogmatic — just honest discussion about diet, development, and long-term health.   For anyone serious about raising a healthy, resilient dog, this episode will get them thinking.
