Life With Your Dog: Recent Episodes
Panos Anagnostou & Luke Badman
Life With Your Dog is focused on dog training concepts and ideas that can be applied in a practical way, to enrich the life you live with your dog.
- Does your dog growl when you ask them to get off the couch? Guard their bed? Ignore you inside the house but behave well outside? You're not alone.
- In this episode, Panos dives into one of the most common issues dog owners face: a lack of structure at home. Many behaviour problems don't begin on the walk—they begin in the living room.
- Topics covered:
- Why dogs become possessive of furniture and sleeping areas.
- Whether dogs should be allowed on the couch or bed.
- Why little dogs often get away with behaviours we'd never accept from a larger dog.
- How everyday routines shape your dog's behaviour.
- Practical ways to create calm, respectful behaviour inside the home.
- Remember, freedom isn't something we simply give our dogs—it's something they earn through responsibility and good choices.
- Whether you're raising a puppy or working through behavioural issues with an older dog, this episode will help you build a calmer, more enjoyable home for both you and your dog.
- As always, thanks for listening to Life With Your Dog. If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share it with someone who could benefit.

- Many dog owners say they want their dog's behaviours to change... but are we willing to change ourselves?
- In this episode, we explore a simple idea that has a huge impact on dog training: if nothing has changed, nothing will change. More often than not, lasting behaviour change starts with the owner, not the dog.
- We discuss how our daily habits, consistency, timing and expectations shape our dogs' behaviour, and why repeating the same actions while expecting different results only leads to frustration.
- Diving into the science of learning, looking at how operant conditioning creates the repetitions that eventually become classical conditioning—turning trained behaviours into lasting emotional associations and habits.
- If you're serious about creating long-term change in your dog, this episode will challenge you to first look at the other end of the leash.

- 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.

- 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.

- In this episode, we’re joined by Jas Whiting founder of Prime Canine to break down the real process of raising and developing high-drive Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd puppies destined for police, military, and corrections work.
- Jas walks us through what it takes to raise multiple working-line puppies at the same time, laying strong foundations for tracking, bite work, environmental confidence, and complex operational behaviours. All with the goal of producing dogs suitable for working roles by around 18 months of age.
- We talk honestly about the fun, frustration, stress, pressure, and fulfilment that comes with developmental training at this level, and how critical early decisions are in shaping whether a dog truly suits the role it’s being prepared for.
- This episode is a must-listen for trainers, handlers, breeders, and anyone curious about what serious puppy raising looks like when the end goal isn’t a pet, but a capable working dog.

- Training your dog isn’t about flashy skills or perfect reps in perfect conditions — it’s about reliability in the real world.
- In this episode, we break down what proofing really means and why so many dog owners get stuck when behaviour “falls apart” outside the training session.
- We talk about why you started training in the first place, how your lifestyle should shape your dog’s training, and why rushing the process usually backfires.
- We cover the importance of developing your own communication with your dog, creating consistency across environments, and understanding that some behaviours aren’t “fixed” — they’re managed.
- Training, at its core, is about learning a shared language and culture with your dog, not blindly following rules forever.
- Learn the rules first… then earn the right to break them.This episode is a practical reminder that there’s no one right way — you need to find your way with your dog.

- Dan returns for round two, and this one goes deep.
In this episode, we unpack intrinsic motivation in dogs—from prey drive to play drive—and how those drives differ, overlap, and actually show up in real-world training. Not theory for theory’s sake, but how these concepts matter when you’re working dogs day in, day out. - Dan shares lessons learned from years of working dogs, alongside his experience with reactivity in pet dogs. Watching dogs work provides perspective—how dogs think, act, and learn—and that perspective is often missing when people rely solely on what they see online.
- We also talk context. Techniques, clips, and hot takes on social media mean nothing without experience behind them. Keeping an open mind is easy to say, harder to do—especially when exposure is limited.
- A strong episode to kick off the year and a big thanks to Dan for joining us again.

- Most dog owners walk their dogs every day… and still end up with pulling, reactivity, and chaos on the leash. Why is that?
- In this episode, Panos and Luke break down the 20/20/20 Rule — a simple, repeatable walking structure that balances discipline, freedom, and training.
- You’ll learn why the walk should be split into three clear phases:
• A structured loose leash walk to set the mental tone
• Free time with purpose — including real-world training
• A structured return to help your dog regulate and settle - This episode explains how to stop turning walks into overstimulation sessions and start using them to build focus, reliability, and a calmer dog at home.
- If your dog “gets plenty of walks” but still behaves like they’ve had three coffees, this one’s for you.

- Simon’s known for his no-nonsense motto: “Cut the fluff and focus on what works.”We dive deep into his journey, the lessons he’s collected from wildly different environments, and how those experiences shaped his training philosophy.
- Simon opens up about industry myths, why trainers conflict, where owners go wrong, and how he blends motivation, play, and tools to get real-world results.
- We also unpack reactivity and aggression, the lifestyle vs training debate, what play really means to a dog, and why modern pet owners are struggling more than ever.
- If you’re a trainer, an owner, or someone trying to navigate the noise in today’s dog-training landscape, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and a whole lot of practical gems.

- Panos shares a recap of 2024, his favourite episodes of last year and what lessons he's learnt in his dog training experience.
- This week's topic was all about dog's being creatures of patterns and as a dog owner, the importance of acknowledging patterns in your dog's behaviour.
- Your patterns of behaviour influence your dog and now that we are back to the beginning of the year, after some time off, you may notice new or challenging behaviour in your dog.
- A dog can be predictable if you can understand their patterns via body language, situational awareness and what motivates the dog. It's easy only once you can be aware of it.

- However it gets to a point that you must wean them off appropriately.
- Don't rely on food when it comes to lifestyle skills, as food doesn't proof behaviours.

- Instead of thinking your dog needs to be trained to learn how to behave appropriately, which is true, however your dog should be tired enough that he needs to rest.
- Physical exercise is important for active dogs, your job is to ensure your dog has the appropriate output during their day so that when it's time to rest, they rest.
- Being bored is a good thing for a dog to learn to experience. To wait and relax, ready for another day of activity.

- This week Dave Mckelson joined us from Melbourne to talk about his passion for training animals, which began with almost two decades of working with elephants at a Melbourne zoo.
- Much of the experience he gained working with elephants, and other animals, crosses over into his work with dogs. Developing training programs that focus on building meaningful relationships built on trust and understanding, and high standards of animal training that ultimately create freedom and opportunity, are key areas that can build an extremely rewarding life experience for a dog and their family.
- Developing a well-trained dog is essential, but they also need to be happy and balanced. Dave's qualified team helps clients achieve the best results for them and their dog.

- He is also the co-host of the podcast Dog Torque which focuses on ensuring that knowledge and experience shared within the agricultural/working dog community is not lost, can be made easily accessible to all and is retained for future generations.
- Dan's passion for dogs started early when teaching his grandfather's Rottweilers all the naughty tricks. After sticking with breeds like Rottweilers and French Bordeaux for Obedience Training he then got hooked on herding breeds and bought his first Kelpie.
- Now he has developed the start of his own working line of Kelpies and is a successful competitor spending many of his spare weekends at Yard and Utility Trials as well as giving the occasional Three-Sheep Competition a go.

- Janelle asks and Panos answers:
- "I have a question about our (maybe) Terrier Cross 'Frankie' approx 5 years old adopted from Sutherland Shire Animal Shelter 4 years ago.
- He HATES strangers, which is OK, but now that my kids are teens (11 and 13) they're wanting to have their friends sleepover at our house and it isn't going well.
- I have muzzle trained him for everyone's safety, I keep him when muzzled when kids friends are around. But once he sees the "stranger" in our house he bolts towards the growling/barking and sometimes snaps at them.
- I have tried greeting kids friends on mutual territory before they come into house. I've told the friends to completely ignore our dog like he doesn't exist.
- But honestly it's scary for the friends, and once they squeal or run, it's worse.
-
Besides putting our dog in another room when we have people over. Do you have any suggestions so everyone can co-exist safely?"

- The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
- Panos discusses many different factors relating to expectations and how it influences your training & overall life with your dog.
- Along with some tips, ideas and life philosophy a few questions for you, the listener to ponder on:
- What did you think owning your dog will be like?
- What's the expectations you have that have resulted in both big wins and big losses?
- What are your expectations of the clients you see (if you're a trainer) or the trainer you want to employ (if you are the dog owner)?
- This week Dr Michelle Rassool joined us to discuss the behavioural side of veterinary practice. We touched on the medication of dogs for behavioural issues and examples where medicines may or may not be the most appropriate answer.
- Dr Michelle has always had a strong, practical interest in animal behaviour, spending her early days working and training horses, and later becoming passionate about dog training, before starting her journey to become a vet. She has spent hundreds of hours of training with both her own, and client’s dogs.
- As a vet, Michelle aims to bridge the gap between trainers and veterinarians, creating an open dialogue to support her clients and their pets through behavioural issues. She is focused on preventative behavioural care, from the first puppy visit to senior checks, and work hard to create positive experiences for pets in clinic from the day she meets them.

- Panos shares a story about the advice Margaret, the agility trainer, gave to Panos that has stuck with him over all the years!
- Being calm and assertive is ok and appropriate at times, however, being animated, girly baby voice is also very handy in other parts of your training.
-
Have fun with your dog and don't let your ego get bruised, if you need to motivate your dog by being animated, let it go and give it a go. While others need to chill a little and take it down a few notches, lol!

- This week we pick apart somewhat of a controversial topic in the dog training industry - sedative / anti-depressant medicines and their possible overuse.
- Unfortunately we have noticed an uptick in clients who have been advised (by some trainers and/or vets) very quickly to medicate their dogs without first trying any behavioural interventions.
- Why are some trainers and/or vets going about things in this way? And in what scenarios are behavioural medications actually a good decision?

- Panos answers Nicholette's question regarding her dog Buddy and his reactive behaviour at group class which 'disrupts the class and he doesn't listen to me'.
- It's important to consider all the factors in this situation as it's not just one thing that is creating this behaviour issue.
- Is it the doggie daycare, the trainer, technique, equipment or handling skills that contribute to this undesirable behaviour?
- Panos discusses the different variables that are at play which need addressing to resolve the issue at hand.

- You are the shepherd, not the engineer of your dog's behaviour.
- Any individual is a mosaic of their extended family.
- Panos & Luke discuss the roles genetics and environment (innate and learnt behaviour) play in what creates a behaviour, temperament and mindset.
- Environment brings forth genetic expression and it's potential, this relates to type/level of drive, temperament, health, social behaviours, anxiety and aggression to name a few.
- It's not only training that develops a behaviour, it is also the DNA of your dog.
- Work with the dog that is in front of you.

- Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics or behaviour to a god, animal, or object.
- In dog training, it typically refers to attributing human emotions, behaviours, or characteristics onto our furry friends (perhaps, even, our "fur babies").
- What are the potential consequences of this? A dog is not a human - treating them as such can have negative implications for the relationship between an owner and their dog.

- Panos explains the concept of chaining behaviours which is the practice of linking many commands together in a sequence prior to a reward or release.
- There are a few things that make this practice very important to add to your training such as:
- Understanding the power of intermittent reinforcement
- Practicality of training for the real world
-
Make training dynamic and funIf you aren't already chaining behaviours together, have a listen and give it a go!

- We had the privilege to have a very interesting conversation with Gary about his 40 years of experience in the dog training industry and some fascinating stories that have come with it.This lead to a discussion of certain 'extremists' that threaten our industry on many levels, and you may find it surprising the conclusion Gaz has come to after all these years being a service to dogs and our community.
- Gaz Jackson has trained in excess of 20,000 dogs in obedience, protection, or detection, supplying canine and handler training to police, army, prisons, air force, and state and federal agencies internationally. Gaz has conducted several law enforcement dog training seminars with international speakers and patrons.
- Gaz is an international speaker conducting seminars, events, workshops, and lectures, training handlers and trainers around the world in all aspects of dog training.
- Gaz now works full time as an author and speaker around Australia and overseas and provides dog training private lessons, seminars and workshops.
- What’s most impressive about Gaz Jackson is the number of things he’s achieved through dog training:
- 1st Megafauna Fossil detection Dog • 1st Bio Archaeology Dog • 1st Quoll Detection Dog • 1st and 2nd Koala Detection Dog • Trained the world’s youngest Narcotic Dog at 11 weeks of age • 1st Pigmy Blue Tongue Lizard Detection Dog • 1st Slider Turtle and egg Detection Dog • 1st Three Cane Toad Detection Dog • 1st Tobacco Contamination dog for Phillip Morris • Trained Australia’s 1st private Narcotic Detection Dogs • Trained Australia’s 1st Cancer Detection Dog • Australia’s 1st operational Cadaver dog and worked with Police for body searches

- Resource guarding is when a dog is displaying aggressive behaviour (growling and/or biting) to protect their valued resource (food, bones, toys, items and sometimes significant other- dog or person).
- This can be a very dangerous situation even though it is quite a natural behaviour and can range from fairly harmless to severe aggression.
- Panos discusses some different variations of resource guarding, how it develops, how to maintain it but does not cover any remedy to this as advice on aggression over a podcast is not appropriate.
-
Seek professional help in person if you need to address this behaviour in your dog.

- There is an abundance of professional dog trainers available these days, and the number continues to grow year on year. Which means dog owners have a huge range of dog training advice and services at their finger tips.
- However there could be detrimental consequences for you and your dog if you don't properly implement what one trainer taught you, prior to "hopping" to the next one in seek of a different answer.

- One of the most important concepts we try to help our dog training clients understand is that dogs will continue to display whatever behaviours that are rewarded.
-
This includes desirable and undesirable behaviours, and it seems that a lot of dog owners may not understand the ways in which they are accidentally or unintentionally rewarding (reinforcing) certain behaviours in their dogs...

- Truth is, most people don't like to train their dogs... It is a thing that they feel they must do to 'fix' their dog's problem behaviour.
- This may be true, but training your dog is about developing a mindset, skillset to ensure they're living their best life.
- Training is play, work and duty.
- Training is what allows our dog's to thrive.
-
Set your expectations, love the process and accept your duty to your dog.

- In dog training, how do we define discipline? How do we define freedom?
- Freedom and liberty comes with its own cost.
- Obedience training gives your dog the freedom to experience more and gain more access to the world.
- Off leash privileges come with a high level of reliable obedience and socialisation.
-
The same concepts of discipline apply to dogs as they do to humans; that is to say, exercising self discipline allows us to gain more from our lives.

- Emma hails from Ottawa, Canada where she owns & runs one of the largest & most prominent dog training & pack walking services in the city.
- We discussed a bunch of topics including her passion for dogs and also her love of the dog sport called PSA (Protection Sports Association)
-
In Emma's own words: "I strive to learn all I can about our canine companions. I invest a significant amount of money and time attending seminars, workshops and conferences each year to improve my skills and broaden my network. We are in it for the dogs, but this industry is really about the people and making their lives better. Expanding your network and working with like minded individuals is so fulfilling and truly helps you be the best that you can be."

- This isn't an episode about how to assess and match your dog with a new prospective pooch.
- It is more about assessing your own life and the timing of it all.
- Setting emotions aside and consider some rational pointers before committing is always wise.
-
Ps. If you are getting or have a new puppy, search for 'PUPPIES 101' to get multiple episodes relating specifically to puppy development and training.

- This week Brittany of "The Pet Girl" joined us via zoom, generously giving her time and expertise on the current state of prong collar bans in the state of Queensland Australia
- We also discussed Brittany's extensive past as a dog trainer, and how she is always on the search to further her own development as a dog industry professional
-
From Brittany's website:
-
"If you asked me 6 years ago what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, I had absolutely no idea; I just knew that animals HAD to be a part of it.
- As a long time dog owner, I had always taken a responsible approach to my dogs’ health and wellbeing, opting for a more natural approach to their lifestyle and more specifically their diets.
- I found that I was always asking questions beyond the norm and I quickly realised that a lot of the questions I was asking, nobody really knew the answers to. The more I researched and learnt, the more I wanted to share, and this is how The Pet Girl came about.
- My goal is to help pet parents be informed and smart about pet ownership and do the very best they can. I want to create a generation of pet parents that value having fit, healthy and confident pets that not only survive through life, but absolutely THRIVE.

- Panos answers a question from Nellie in regards to what to do when she is playing fetch with her dog when another dog approaches and her dog causing a scene.
- There are a few remedies to this situation, prevention being the best cure. But the most important thing is, when your rewarding your dog with the ball, you should not allow anyone to take that reinforcement away. It is a 2 player game (you and your dog).
-
Good management, advocating for your dog and executing a plan is the best way forward.

- If your dog is fussy, it is most likely caused by you and usually because you love your dog so much.
- Panos sees fussy dogs regularly and shares some advice to help get your dog eating his food again.
- Dogs are not grazing animals and should not have access to food all day long.
- Stop feeding from scraps at dinner time etc.
- Provide windows of opportunity for your dog to understand there is a time and place when food is available and after a set time the opportunity will go away.
-
Make your dog understand that food a valuable resource.

- A good dog trainer knows the next 10-15 moves in what they are trying to achieve with their dog. This is the concept of "beginning with the end in mind".
- Fundamentals may seem "boring" sometimes, but they are all setups for the next stages of training.
- Excellence is mastery of the basics!
- Be patient with yourself, your dog, and know the desired outcome at the start.
-
It's not about "fixing" anything, but rather about improving everything piece by piece.

- This is an old saying which refers to the fact that people can ultimately never be forced to actually follow through with anything they are recommended to do, even if they asked for the advice in the first place.
- As professional dog trainers we are often asked by pet owners to come in and give our paid opinions on a wide range of behavioural topics relating to dogs.
- We always try to put our clients' and their dogs' best interests at the forefront when we are giving advice.
- However this doesn't guarantee the advice will be received as was intentioned, nor that the client will follow through with the training after the dog trainer has left.
- Luke had noticed a few of his old clients using equipment and methodologies that he'd never recommended, which prompted this discussion.

- When it comes to skill development, it is a necessity to have momentum and a direction of what you are trying to achieve.
- Otherwise, habits and skills are seldom to be to be acquired.
-
The hardest part is getting started, however, once you get the ball rolling and you have equipped yourself with the correct method, technique and mindset you are likely to reach high levels, if that is what you truly desire.

- One of the most common questions that we as professional dog trainers get is, how should pet owners have "those" potentially uncomfortable conversations when it comes to strangers (dogs AND people) looking to interact with our dogs in public?
- Many pet owners may feel "awkward" or "mean" for having to advocate for their dog's right to feel safe when they are out and about in the world
- It is a total MYTH that stranger dogs should be allowed to interact with one another, or that your dog should have to accept attention from any person they do not know
-

- Saharai “Sada” Salazar has been working professionally with canines for over 18 years.
- Saharai’s education in domestic animal and wildlife biology with an emphasis on canine studies included behavior, anatomy and physiology, genetics, evolution, and diseases at the University of California, Davis.
- Saharai’s passion in working with Fear, Anxiety and Stress (FAS) in dogs, especially fear-based aggression, was cultivated in the Isolation Ward of a county animal shelter.
- For several years, she successfully rehabilitated and placed numerous red-listed dogs slated for euthanasia. Behavior modification presented its own special challenges in a shelter environment, which equipped Saharai with a unique set of skills and the knowledge needed to straddle the rescue and behavior worlds.

- Sometimes we take on so much in our day-to-day life, and to make things worse, we suffer more in our head than we actually need to.
- In this week's episode, Panos comes back from a week out of Sydney to reflect on a few things: how stress affects learning, teaching, and relationships.
- To accept your current situation, whatever it be, your dog's behaviour, pressures of work, feeling overwhelmed with life's demands, etc.
- Once you see it for what it is, make plans moving forward, and over time, learn to read these patterns and be proactive.
-
You are only best for others when you, yourself is at your best, this applies to your relationship and training with your dog and, of course many other factors to other areas of your life.

-
"Luna has all of a sudden heard something in our building garage and elevator that sends her barking. She was well socialised to the carpark and elevator as she has been doing the same walk to and from the car since day one. If you on the podcast could discuss fixing a problem like this where a dog is guaranteed to bark in a certain situation and the steps you would take to rectify. Like how you would make use of treats and what to do when she starts barking (e.g make her sit). The bigger issue being we cannot avoid it as we need to go that way to get to car." -Aaron

- Unfortunately as dog trainers it can be a case of "do as I say, not as I do"
- In terms of the advice we give out, we trainers can be just as guilty of making silly mistakes ourselves!
- This week Panos lost sight of Nuki during a late-night off-leash walk, with no collar or tags, followed by a pretty scary 18-hours spent searching high and low for her
- A kind stranger found and returned her safely!
- In this episode we go over a list of tips of what to do if your dog ever goes missing
- We also reflect on hard lessons learned from this situation!
- This rookie error was an experience that prompted deep thought and needs to be shared so that you don't make the same mistakes.
- Keep your dog's collar and ID tag on at all times!
-
Have an attitude of gratitude & go hug your dog.

- Panos and Luke discuss the differences between working a dog from distance to a trigger, compared to flooding the dog with that stimulus.
- Acknowledging that distance work is the preferred method for counter-conditioning to achieve desensitisation however living in the city may make this approach difficult.
-
Flooding can work really well for certain dogs, and preparing for the inevitable so owners know how to get out of a pickle may be a good idea.

This week Panos and Luke answer and discuss questions from Saharai, who works at Napa County Animal Shelter and Adoption Centre, in California, USA.
-
The shelter receives all dogs of any calibre. There are many variables making that job difficult on many levels. Not only for caring, feeding and exercising them, but adopting a behavioural training system to help the dogs that need it the most unfortunately can be the most difficult yet critical for some dogs' adoptability.
-
Saharai sent in many questions. These regard how dog behaviour and training practices in such a stressful, high-demand and low-funded environments like shelters can be achievable and replicable.
-
Panos has had some experience in working day-to-day duties in an animal shelter for multiple years along with training volunteers, staff and the dogs of the shelter, which helped him to answer Saharai's questions.
-
Saharai shares some great content on Instagram of the cool things she does at the shelter. These include training, rehabilitation, enrichment, and showing her raw passion. Check her out on Insta at www.instagram.com/_wolfmother_

Today's Q&A comes in from another listener, Sarvesh - all the way from India.
He has a few questions about aggression cases in some dogs he's working with that likes to get another perspective on.
Remember it is difficult to give specific advice about aggression without seeing the dog and their owners in person.
Panos gives advice general in nature and not too specific as he understands it can be a dangerous thing to be absolute about giving guidance as it can result in a dangerous outcome.
Make sure you listen right to the end as Panos adds an extra thought that is most important for all new trainers to hear.

What is impulse control?
Today's short episode is a brief explanation, example and guide on how to develop impulse control in our dogs.
Panos believes impulse control is a life skill for both dogs and humans and must be developed and maintained to get the most out of our dogs especially while they interact with the world around them.
It compliments obedience training and behavioural issues and is one of those foundational techniques that should be a part of your dog training toolbox.

Panos reflects on his lessons of the year. It has been a wild year personally, professionally and globally.
The reason why Panos has dogs and dedicates himself to dog training is that dogs complement our lives, and should not complicate them.
He wants owners to learn from their dogs just as much as we teach them.
Remain disciplined, maintain what we already have before adding more, and having structure but switching up routines.

This question comes from our listener Paul, who's wondering how small dog syndrome works and if it's real.
Panos explains his thoughts on the topic and what it means when a small dog is reactive to everything around them.
Is it their ego, because they think they are bigger than what they actually are? Or are they fearful which results in the barking, lunging and snapping?

Panos had the opportunity to sit with Alex Edwards and discuss topics from Alex's socialisation classes, stories of his 5 dogs, how Covid has affected our dogs, Alex's journey abroad learning from some of the world's top dog trainers and much more.
Alex owns and runs Refine Your Canine Dog Training. He is a Melbourne based dog trainer with over 7 years experience.
Alex is very passionate about dogs and effective dog training. Proper dog training creates a special bond between the owner and the dog that enhances the experience of dog ownership. Alex has a special natural ability with dogs that can only come from a lifetime of dog ownership and a love of dogs.
Alex is a firm believer that training your dog should be fun and challenging. He believes that the dog should want to come back every time. The dog should feel that it has learned something, achieved something and also enjoyed the day. Dogs that train with Alex are testimony to this, many of them getting very excited when they know they are going to doggy school.
Alex specialises in time efficient dog training, focusing on getting the best results in the shortest time. So he uses time proven methods but leaves plenty of room for fun and innovation.
He is always looking for new ways of improving the experience and adding to the enjoyment of training sessions for both owner and for the dog. He has dog training programs for basic to advanced dogs, from puppies to adult.

This week, Panos answers a question from Amanda: "How do I encourage my husband to build a better relationship with our dog? Our dog is difficult to walk as he's reactive to other dogs and needs to be carefully managed. This is not what we wanted when we adopted him but we took a chance and this is what we have."
This is a very common and interesting topic that can be relatable to many owners, particularly of rescue dogs. Try these tips out and let us know if it worked for you.

Brent Dry is passionate about working with people to get the best out of their dog in whatever they are working on. Teaching clients how their dogs learn and why they are behaving in a particular manner is a role that he truly enjoys.
When working with clients, Brent likes to empower them with the knowledge of how their dogs perceive their world.
Brent loves the people he's in contact with everyday through his business and he aims to give them everything he can each time they are in a class. I also love mentoring students who are studying to become dog trainers themselves. Giving back to these keen people gives him so much satisfaction.
Professionally training since 2008, Brent and his wife Cat have had many dogs including Rottweiler’s, and they now have a Belgian Malinois called Zia. They love learning new techniques to train and different ways to motivate dogs.
You can find The K9 Company at www.thek9company.com.au where you'll also find Brent's new video course - great for remote learning during Covid-19.

It is one of the "big three" commands which include the recall "come", "down", and "bed" or the place command. Panos goes through the steps of how he teaches the recall to his clients.

The National Dog Trainers Federation (NDTF) Certificate 3 in Dog Behaviour & Training is Australia’s only government-approved and nationally recognised professional dog trainer certificate.
It is Australia’s longest running and most comprehensive dog trainer certification program. The course is also a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework.
The NDTF’s professional dog training courses combine theoretical canine behavioural education with an industry leading ‘hands on’ component.
Unlike some other courses, the NDTF has cultivated a team featuring a wide variety of experts from various specialist dog training and canine behaviour-related backgrounds.
Most importantly the NDTF does not force its students to take on any particular style of training; there is no ideology to be found here. We would encourage you to be very careful when anyone tries to tell you how you "MUST" conduct yourself, or impose their ideology on you. That advice applies to dog training and beyond!

We tend to talk a lot to our dogs on a daily basis, and this can cause confusion in your commands.
Panos explains the difference between a formal command (e.g. COME) and informal command (e.g. LET'S GO). We all wish to have clear communication with our dogs - put some of this advice into practice and see how you go.

"Good management" is a term you may have heard many times throughout our podcast episodes. It truly is the foundation upon which your dog's training must be built. When we build a house on an unsteady foundation of sand, we should expect to suffer the consequences. Dogs are no different.
A dog whose foundations are built on solid bedrock will have a happy and fulfilling life as a member of its family.

This week we discuss how one bad experience for your dog can throw things off - even to the best of us. It's called life. Being an experienced dog trainer doesn't preclude you from ending up in unforeseen circumstances.
Panos talks about a recent incident where a dog attacked Nuki & Spades due to the poor management of the attacking dog's owners. We are always going on about good management! But you can't rely on management when it comes to other dog owners.
The consequences of such incidents are referred to as single-event learning in dog training. This can refer to both good and bad experiences. Having built a solid training foundation helps them bounce back from potentially long-lasting negative effects.
We cover the importance of having a plan for desensitisation and how to move forward when the sh*t hits the fan!

Today's question comes from zazenhub on Instagram, who's asking for ways to stop their dog begging and stealing food at dinner time.
Panos addresses the 3 D's of a durational command ("Bed") as well as the power of good management. Most unwanted behaviour in the home is a symptom of lack of structure. Teach your dog what you want him to do, set some consistent rules, and always be patient.

Stress and burnout is rampant within the canine industry. Perhaps it's a combination of a highly emotionally charged topic (trainers are rightly very passionate about their clients and animals), along with the fact that most dog trainers are "lone wolf" operators - out on their own, without "colleagues" in the usual sense.
The irony here is many people enter the dog industry from a love of nature and animals, and yet they end up spending a lot of time away from nature, in the digital world, trying to run a modern business.
Panos recorded this episode from the beautiful Turon Gates property in rural NSW and muses on the importance of recharging batteries in nature, and how you might go about this.

This week we were privileged to sit down with Pat Stuart of The Canine Paradigm, which means we've now interviewed both of The Canine Paradigm lads! Pat is our first in-studio guest on Life With Your Dog.
Pat's introduction to dog training was a baptism by fire when he brought an adult Belgian Malinois into his home that required way more skill to own and train than he had ever expected, and so began his obsession with dog training and behaviour.
In 2015, Pat took the plunge and began training dogs full time after a more than 12-year career in Army Special Forces.
He has been lucky enough to be mentored and coached by some of Australia and the world’s best dog trainers. Most notably Michael and Bart Bellon who Pat has been studying under for several years, learning their NePoPo® system.
Pat is a certified NePoPo® instructor as well as an active competitor in PSA, a certified decoy and the PSA Assistant Regional Director for Australia.
Pat believes his greatest strength comes in educating people, and he has a passion for passing on knowledge in a way people can go out and implement immediately.

Today's episode covers 2 topics. Walking your puppy can be a challenge, and learning some basics can really help. Panos doesn't teach 'loose lead' walking for puppies under 6 months old, but building a foundation to help for those future times really makes a difference!
If you are thinking of it, or already own 2 puppies from the same litter, Panos & Luke discuss the importance of following guidelines to prevent future issues. The 2 main issues here (but not limited to these) are separation anxiety and aggression problems. Enjoy this Puppy 101 episode - any questions hit us up on our different platforms.

Dogs barking at the TV can be a fairly common problem. Interestingly, it is more prevalent with modern TVs as the old-style TVs (before LCDs) were very hard for dogs to actually see the TV picture.
Panos goes through how to use COUNTER-CONDITIONING and DESENSITISATION to address this issue. As always, successful dog training comes down to GOOD MANAGEMENT! Set yourself and your dog up for success, not problems.

In this episode Panos covers the two types of leadership. One is more direct & authoritative. The other is more about being engaged & a team player with your dog. Panos also explains when to use each style of leadership, as all situations require different forms of motivation. Being clear and consistent are qualities of a good leader. Dogs like to follow strong leaders!

When walking a dog that is reactive to other dogs & people (or even when walking a puppy) we must have a level of awareness of what's in the environment around us.
Be a few steps ahead of your dog so that you can prepare your training technique, avoid a dangerous situation or making a negative experience for your pup.
Be proactive in how you wish to prepare your dog to a situation, try not to be reactive with your dog. Dogs like to follow strong leaders.

Taking a break from our usual Q&A episode, this week Panos sits down by himself to mull over what dogs have taught him in his many years of working alongside these majestic creatures. In these uncertain times that bring increased anxiety, dogs have the ability to take us out of our HEADS and bring us more into our BODIES. Anxiety is a fear of the unknown FUTURE - while dogs can bring us into the PRESENT!
We teach dogs to live in our society, while our dogs teach us to live in the now. Being present is a side effect to this understanding. Keeping up with routine with our dogs even though you can slip out of yours. If you have training goals with your dog, the ritual of training and practice is further strengthening your discipline with a new skill, project or goals of our own. Dogs are optimistic, and this encourages us to be more positive even when we feel down and out.

This episode comes to you from Coronavirus quarantine! Luke has been unwell so we took precautions and recorded this remotely over the internet.
"Punishment" can be a highly controversial topic within the dog training industry. There can be serious animosity between the balanced and force-free communities. However the smart approach is to realise that both can learn from one another and meet in the middle.
Many terms can be misconstrued, but even putting a dog in "time out" or withholding pats counts as punishment! Many people who claim to never use punishment are very likely using it without acknowledging this...
Panos goes through many different examples and scenarios, drawing on his personal experiences of dog training to navigate this controversial but NECESSARY topic for your dog's long term wellbeing.

In these times of uncertainty and anxiety, some are forced into lockdown, some are home for self isolation quarantine & others are having to work from home. What does this mean for our dogs? Panos talks about opportunities for training, exercise and not getting distracted by your dog while working from home. Maintain structure, but switch up the routine as much as possible. See the opportunities rather than the negatives in this pandemic. We hope and pray that you and your family are doing ok in the trying times. Our best survival technique is staying happy, healthy and strong, learn from our dogs, be in the present moment and look after family and community.

This week we discuss the benefits of play, and different styles of play with dogs.
A game of tug or fetch can be used to reward behaviours in your training. It becomes a relationship-building exercise to help strengthen your bond.
Play also provides the opportunity to teach dogs to follow commands in high states of arousal, which can improve impulse control.

When training your dog there are a huge number of commands that you could eventually teach to them. Some are more about safety, and then others are more about "tricks" or showing off the animal's skills. However few commands are as important as the three essential commands covered in this episode.

This week's question from our listener Luke is about ensuring that family & friends do not inadvertently reinforce the wrong behaviours in your new puppy. Remember, the first 17 weeks are a CRUCIAL learning & socialisation period for your puppy - meaning any experiences will have a permanent effect on the dog. Panos goes through some tips to ensure these are positive experiences, while also addressing the 'embarrassment' you may feel from having to be strict with your family and friends.

Panos also explains the different phases of training, which refers to what level of understanding your dog has of each command.

This week we sit down to meditate on the various roles that dogs have in our lives. Exactly why do we want to keep these amazing creatures around? The answer may vary for different people.
This is an important question to ask yourself... "Why do I have a dog?" Your answer is relevant to the training journey you take with your dog, so you know what it is you intend to teach them and why.
Panos and Luke unpack several topics within this broader question to give you, the listener, something to reflect on and make goals accordingly.Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

It's that time of the year for family getaways, and if your dog can't join in, a friend may have volunteered to look after the pooch.
- Things to consider before taking on the responsibility are:
- Making sure the dog gets along with the other dogs it's starting with or is good with the rest of the family.
- That there is adequate space for the dog or extra dogs and the property is secure.
- Regular exercise & training.
- Does the dog have separation anxiety/distress?
- Feeding guidelines.
- Does the dog have medical issues or requires meds?
- Firework phobia?
- Panos goes through these topics, and how it is important to consider them before either taking on a friend's dog or letting a friend look after your dog.

Dog parks seem to attract a lot of dog owners for the simple reason that most dogs have a really fun time playing with other dogs. Even though this is true, there are many issues that are created at dog parks.
The dog park could potentially be a dangerous place. Not all dogs are social in the way we would expect, which can lead to your dog having a really bad experience. Panos has trained over 1000 dogs in his career, and a big percentage of dogs he sees that are dog aggressive/reactive are a result of a bad experience at the dog park.
Also it can be a place where your dog learns to ignore you and place a higher value in other dogs, which isn't the worst thing, but can potentially affect your training. This doesn't mean all dog parks are bad or that your dog is guaranteed a bad experience but this episode is to share some light on the topic.
To dog park or not to dog park is up to you to decide, but make sure you make a well informed decision before entering.

One of the most important tools you have in managing and training your dog is the walk. We discuss why a structured walk of rules and boundaries - along with play and engagement training - is important.
Panos explains how he walks his own dogs and what he teaches to his clients so that the dogs are being fulfilled - mentally and physically - on the walk.
The walk should be an enjoyable time for both sides of the lead.

- Hint: It may not be what you'd previously thought. Often we assume that "training" is limited to when the dog trainer shows up, but it's far more encompassing.
- *Understanding dog body language, basic understanding of teaching the main commands, regular exercise and mental stimulation.
- *Learn what dogs need to live and thrive in our world, keep rituals and be consistent with all practices.
- *Training is more than merely teaching commands - it is about enriching their needs on many levels and educating yourself accordingly.Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

This is our first Q&A episode, which we will be releasing intermittently between the longer ones. If you have any questions please submit them via our Facebook, Instagram, or at www.lifewithyourdogpodcast.com.
Here Panos discusses which leashes he does (and does NOT) recommend for your dog, and the reasons behind this. As you'll hear, not all leashes are created equal! One kind of leash is particularly dangerous, and has even split open Panos' thumb in the past (ouch!) Please enjoy!

In our first episode of Life With Your Dog, we take the time and opportunity to introduce ourselves.
Panos is the owner of Nooch's Pooches, based in Sydney. He has been specialising in dog behaviour and training for over 10 years. Panos talks about what got him into dog training and the journey it has taken him on.
Luke is fascinated by how dogs learn and how they positively affect our lives. Together with his mum, he also hosts the "Our Human Condition" podcast that focuses on "How can we live a life that transcends the challenges everyone faces?".
Panos was originally a guest on their podcast, before he and Luke decided to start Life With Your Dog together!
This is the beginning of a new journey. In this episode we discuss a general outline of what is to come in later episodes. Each future episode will centre around a theme connected to dog training and behavioural theory.
