In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn Cooke shares his incredible experiences in America alongside his wife, Narelle Cooke. They attended the Feed Real Institute seminar, where leading experts in dog health and nutrition laid out the realities of poor-quality pet food and outlined simple yet effective changes to improve the well-being of our pets. The seminar was eye-opening, highlighting the significant impact nutrition has on both pet and working dogs.
Glenn and Narelle’s American adventure didn’t stop there. They travelled to meet enthusiastic TCP listeners and concluded their trip with a seminar in Virginia, hosted by Melanie Benware. Glenn proudly watched as Narelle captivated attendees over two days with her deep knowledge of canine nutrition. To top it off, Glenn presented a full day on puppy acceleration, offering guidance on how to raise puppies from breeders or rescue situations to reach their fullest potential, tailored to suit the family’s lifestyle.
The trip was not only successful but also enriching, filled with the joy of meeting wonderful people, old friends, and seeing the stunning sights of America. Join us as we recount the highlights, share insights from the seminar, and reflect on the incredible connections made along the way.

In the episode,Episode 317: The speed of the dog comes from understanding, we explore how understanding plays a critical role in improving a dog’s response speed and reliability. Addressing questions from our listeners, we delve into practical advice on handling various training scenarios.
One key topic is managing the go-home session after a board and train, particularly regarding the use of luring or redirecting to set up the dog and handler for success. Additionally, we discuss techniques to improve the "out" command, making it clearer and more effective for both trainer and dog. Finally, we explore how to reduce intensity in training sessions without losing the dog’s motivation, striking a balance between energy and control.
Whether you’re looking to refine a specific command or ensure your dog stays motivated while learning, this episode provides insight into maintaining engagement and achieving faster, more consistent results through better understanding.

In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, we explore the intriguing question: Are dogs better off now compared to 30 years ago? With advancements in training methods, nutrition, and pet care, many would assume that dogs are living their best lives today. However, there are complexities to consider. Have modern lifestyle changes and human expectations placed additional stress on our canines?
We also discuss how humans often want their dogs to share emotional moments with them, but they don’t always perceive these moments in the same way. What means a lot to us may hold a different significance to our canine companions. Understanding how dogs interpret our emotions and actions is key to building a strong, fulfilling relationship with them.
Throughout the episode, we respond to questions from our TCP community, diving into topics that resonate with dog owners who wonder about the balance between modern conveniences and their dog’s overall well-being. Whether you’re a long-time dog owner or new to the world of dogs, this episode will get you thinking about how our relationships with dogs have evolved over the years.

In this episode, we explore the concept of “struggle cuddles” with your dog and dive into how perspectives in dog training can change over time. We discuss activities or techniques that trainers may have disliked or avoided in the past but have since embraced as valuable training tools. Additionally, we cover the opposite scenario—methods or practices trainers once believed in but now feel are ineffective or even counter-productive.
The conversation provides insights into how evolving experiences and learning can reshape a trainer’s approach to dog training. Just as trainers grow and adapt, it’s essential for dog owners to stay open to change and willing to adjust their methods based on new understandings. This episode offers a reflective look at the journey many trainers go through and the importance of continually questioning and refining training practices.
Whether you’re a professional trainer or a dedicated dog owner, this episode will encourage you to think critically about your own training preferences and how they may have changed over time.

In Episode 314 of The Canine Paradigm, we explore training methods to stop chasing behaviour in dogs by discussing a groundbreaking study titled "Comparison of the Efficacy and Welfare of Different Training Methods in Stopping Chasing Behavior in Dogs." This study offers valuable insights into how different training approaches affect the success of stopping unwanted behaviours, particularly chasing, while considering the welfare of the dogs involved.
We break down the study's findings, highlighting the pros and cons of various training methods to stop chasing behaviour in dogs. The research reveals that different methods can lead to varying degrees of success, especially when considering the impact on the dog’s well-being.
In addition, we delve into the topic of deprivation in dog training. While deprivation can sometimes enhance the effectiveness of training methods to stop chasing behaviour in dogs, it also raises concerns about ethics and welfare. We discuss how this approach fits into modern dog training and what it means for both the effectiveness and overall welfare of the dog.

In Episode 313 of The Canine Paradigm, we dive deep into the intricacies of reward placement, direct and indirect reinforcement, and how these elements impact training success. Moreover, understanding where and how you deliver rewards can drastically shape your dog's behaviour. In particular, we explore the nuances of direct reinforcement, where the reward is tied closely to the dog's action, versus indirect reinforcement, where the reward is less immediate.
Additionally, one of the key insights is how improper reward placement can lead to undesirable behaviours, including the development of chewy grips. For instance, we discuss why dogs may develop chewy grips when rewards are poorly timed or misplaced, and how owners often unknowingly contribute to this problem. As a result, it’s all too common for dog owners to unintentionally reinforce the wrong behaviours, leading to a confused or over-excited dog.
Finally, our goal is to help you become a more effective dog handler by shedding light on the small details that can make a huge difference in your training outcomes. Join us in this episode as we explain the connection between reinforcement strategies and common training challenges.

In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, we dive into a range of topics discussed in our training forum, including how to handle a bored dog and avoid turning them into a reactive mess. One common problem is how some dog owners inadvertently derail their dog’s training by making critical mistakes. We also explore how household partners, who aren’t fully invested in the training process, contribute to ongoing behavioural issues.
Moreover, we address the growing tension with force-free (FF) trainers and how their fear-mongering campaigns seem to be escalating. Rather than promoting balanced methods, some FF trainers are increasingly pushing extreme narratives that leave dog owners feeling anxious and overwhelmed.
A major takeaway from this episode is the importance of consistency in training. A bored dog can quickly develop destructive behaviours, like digging, when they’re not properly engaged. However, a lack of unity in the household can make even the best training programs ineffective. This episode provides actionable advice on how to engage your dog, keep them stimulated, and ensure all family members are on board with the training.

In the classic tale The Emperor’s New Clothes, the emperor is deceived into believing he is wearing fine garments when, in fact, he is wearing nothing at all. Similarly, some dog trainers on social media are forcing a narrative of success that does not truly exist. They craft stories of quick fixes and foolproof methods, but when dog owners apply these methods, the results often fall short. As a result, dog owners frequently find themselves frustrated when reality fails to meet the promises made by these trainers.
By forcing a narrative of success, these trainers rely heavily on flashy marketing and carefully edited videos to push their agenda. They insist their methods are perfect and will yield guaranteed results. However, when dog owners try to replicate these techniques at home, they soon discover that the narrative doesn’t hold up. The promises of instant transformation simply do not deliver in real-world situations.
Furthermore, these trainers often double down on forcing a narrative by blaming the dog owners when the methods fail. Instead of admitting that the training approach may be flawed, they claim the owner didn’t follow instructions properly. Consequently, dog owners end up doubting their abilities rather than recognising that the real issue lies in the forced narrative itself.
Therefore, to avoid being misled by such tactics, it is crucial for dog owners to find trainers who focus on delivering real, sustainable results rather than forcing a narrative that only serves to build their social media presence. Just as the emperor eventually realised he had been deceived, dog owners must see through the illusion. In the end, forcing a narrative may create temporary attention, but genuine success comes from proven, effective training methods that stand the test of time.

In Episode 310 of The Canine Paradigm, we discuss the dog training Rachael Raygun Olympic scandal and its implications for both the sports world and our industry. The controversy surrounding Rachael Raygun's performance highlights a troubling trend: the perceived privilege of those with academic credentials, particularly PhDs, as the sole authorities on complex issues.
However, this bias isn’t limited to sports. In dog training, the divide between those with formal academic qualifications and those with extensive practical experience continues to grow. The dog training Rachael Raygun Olympic scandal shows that assuming PhDs alone hold all the answers is misguided. Moreover, this mindset creates rifts within our industry and undervalues the real-world expertise that experienced trainers bring to the table.
Furthermore, we’re concerned about the ongoing narrative that unfairly targets balanced trainers. Labelling these professionals as "punishment trainers" relies on emotional misinformation, which only serves to divide the community. This kind of gas lighting is exhausting and does nothing to improve dog training quality or the well-being of the dogs we care for.
Therefore, it’s time for a more balanced approach—one that respects both academic knowledge and practical experience. By fostering a more inclusive and open-minded discussion, we can create better outcomes for everyone, whether in the sports arena or within the dog training field.

n Episode 309 of our podcast, we dive into the critical concept of the canine ladder of aggression. This episode is a must-listen for both new and experienced dog trainers, as we break down the visual tool that illustrates the various levels of aggression in dogs, ranging from subtle signals to more overt behaviours.
Using the traffic light system, the ladder of aggression is an essential framework that helps trainers and handlers understand where a dog might be on the spectrum of stress and aggression. This system categorises the dog's behaviour into green, yellow, and red zones, representing calm, warning, and dangerous stages, respectively.
Understanding these levels is crucial for preventing escalation and managing situations effectively. By recognising early signs of discomfort, trainers can intervene before a dog reaches a critical point, ensuring safer interactions for both dogs and handlers.

In a recent podcast episode, we addressed a controversial claim regarding the origins of dog sports, specifically an unfounded assertion that these activities and police dogs have ties to Nazi Germany. However, it is crucial to clarify that the origins of dog sports, such as obedience, agility, and protection work, are deeply rooted in history, well before any association with extremist ideologies. These sports were developed to enhance the bond between humans and dogs, promote physical fitness, and celebrate canine capabilities.
Moreover, the spread of misinformation, often perpetuated by content creators on platforms like YouTube, can distort the true origins of dog sports. Some creators, unfortunately, prioritize sensationalism over accuracy to attract views and generate income, which can lead to misleading narratives. Therefore, it's essential for viewers to critically assess the sources of information. Additionally, content creators should uphold standards of accuracy and responsibility to avoid spreading falsehoods.here's an episode where we talk about the building of PSA

In this episode, Pat reveals Glenn his ambitious plan to address the working dog supply and demand issue in Australia by improving working dog genetics in Australia. With a focus on enhancing the genetics of working dogs, Pat’s vision aims to support both law enforcement and sporting groups by producing dogs with superior traits and capabilities.
Pat outlines his strategy to implement a comprehensive breeding program that prioritises health, temperament, and performance. By collaborating with top breeders and leveraging advanced genetic testing, Pat believes it’s possible to significantly improve the quality of working dogs. His plan includes establishing a national facility and program to track the genetic history and performance metrics of breeding pairs, ensuring only the best dogs contribute to future generations.
Improving working dog genetics in Australia is central to Pat’s initiative.

In the latest episode of the Canine Paradigm, hosts Pat Stuart and Glenn Cooke dive into the nuanced and often controversial topic of how pharmaceuticals could be affecting the dog training industry. On a on-line discussion with Bill Church, also known as Bow Wow Bill, they discussed the increasing prevalence of medications prescribed to dogs and the implications for trainers and pet owners alike.
Glenn shares insights from his personal experiences, reflecting on advice from colleagues about the importance of active listening. This episode is a blend of personal growth and professional critique, highlighting the ethical considerations surrounding the use of medications in behaviour modification.
The conversation takes a critical look at the over-prescription of SSRIs and other medications, questioning whether the push for these treatments is influenced by pharmaceutical companies' profit motives. They explore the challenges trainers face when working with medicated dogs, emphasising the need for a balanced approach that prioritises ethical practices and the well-being of the dogs.
Listeners will appreciate the deep dive into how societal changes, such as those brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, have further complicated these issues. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in dog training, offering valuable perspectives on the intersection of health, ethics, and effective training methods.Check out other stories as told here

Putting the dog back on lead is a fundamental skill that can significantly enhance training and repair various behavioural issues. Experts in the field emphasise the importance of this practice for both novice and experienced dog owners. They believe that putting the dog back on lead helps reinforce obedience, control, and trust between the handler and the dog.
This practice can correct behaviours such as pulling, lunging, and ignoring commands. When a dog is back on lead, it must focus on the handler, which strengthens the dog’s response to commands. This consistent practice helps dogs understand their boundaries and the expectations set by their owners.
Additionally, putting the dog back on lead can be a confidence booster for both the dog and the owner. It provides a structured environment where the dog can relearn and practice essential skills, making it easier to address and correct unwanted behaviours. The lead acts as a communication tool, guiding the dog and reinforcing positive behaviour.
Incorporating this practice into daily training routines ensures that dogs remain well-behaved and responsive. The simple act of putting the dog back on lead is a powerful method to enhance skills, repair training issues, and foster a stronger bond between the dog and the owner.
We mentioned Flexi leads in this episode and Jay Jack spoke about this in an older episode you can find here

The past couple of weeks in Sydney have been nothing short of amazing. We were thrilled to welcome our American family, Shawn and Janet Edwards, along with their colleagues Zack Burke and Travis Lloyd. Their expertise and passion for training were invaluable as they joined us for PSA trial judging, decoy certification, Deadpool decoy school, and Janet's seminar.
Training is at the heart of everything we do, and having these experts with us elevated our sessions to new heights. The PSA trial judging was rigorous and insightful, providing our participants with constructive feedback to refine their techniques. Moreover, the decoy certification process was equally intense, ensuring that our decoys are prepared for any scenario.
One of the highlights was the Deadpool decoy school, where Zack and Travis showcased their advanced skills and strategies. This left our team inspired and eager to incorporate these new methods into our training routines. Additionally, Janet's seminar was another standout, offering deep dives into specialized training techniques that captivated everyone in attendance.
Overall, this experience reinforced the importance of continuous training and collaboration. Consequently, we are grateful to Shawn, Janet, Zack, and Travis for their dedication and expertise. Their contributions have undoubtedly made a lasting impact on our training programs, and we look forward to future collaborations.

In this episode of our podcast, we tackle the often misunderstood topic of punishment in dog training. There's been a lot of misinformation circulating, including the outrageous claim that balanced trainers hold positive punishment seminars. We want to set the record straight and explain how punishment, when used correctly, plays a vital role in teaching dogs to eliminate or reduce unwanted behaviors.
Punishment, in the context of dog training, is not about abuse or harsh methods. It's about providing clear boundaries and consequences that help dogs understand which behaviors are undesirable. This clarity aids in creating a structured environment where dogs can thrive.
One of the key points we discuss is the difference between punishment and abuse. While punishment is a controlled, measured response to a specific behavior, abuse is harmful and unacceptable. Understanding this distinction is crucial for anyone involved in dog training.
Throughout the episode, we also delve into how punishment, when balanced with positive reinforcement, can be an effective tool. It's about finding the right balance and ensuring that the well-being of the dog is always the priority.
Join us as we dispel myths and provide insights into the responsible use of punishment in dog training. Listen now to gain a better understanding and become a more informed trainer.

In our latest podcast episode, we tackle a critical topic: the peril of false knowledge. While ignorance poses risks, misinformation masquerading as truth can be far more dangerous.
Recently, a comment on social media claimed that men are more likely to attend positive punishment seminars than women. This statement is not only unfounded but also misleading. Throughout our extensive careers in the dog training industry, we have never encountered anyone running or hosting such seminars. Positive punishment, which involves adding an aversive consequence after an undesired behaviour, can be used in training but only under the right circumstances. It should assist the dog in learning how to avoid a behaviour, be used sparingly, and always with compassion.
Furthermore, we delve into the South Australian government's proposed plan to ban IPG (International Working Dog trial) training. This proposal represents an outrageous example of government overreach. Such regulations not only undermine professional training methods but also spread misinformation about the nature and purpose of IPG. Effective dog training requires balanced, informed approaches that prioritise both the dog's and the handler's well-being.
Ignorance can lead to the spread of false knowledge, which can have detrimental effects. By staying informed and questioning dubious claims, we can combat ignorance and promote responsible training practices. Ignorance is a formidable foe, but with the right knowledge, we can overcome it. Join us as we debunk these myths and advocate for knowledge-based approaches. By listening to our podcast, you can stay informed and help combat the spread of false knowledge in the dog training community. Stay tuned, stay informed, and let's work together to promote truth and excellence in our field.
