Life With Your Dog

If you've listened to Episode 1 (Introducing Panos & Luke) you'll know Panos was originally a guest on Luke's old (no longer active) podcast, Our Human Condition. This podcast was recorded in June 2019. That is how Panos and Luke met! Panos tells the story of his introduction to dogs but from a completely different angle, delving into his other interests such as meditation and martial arts.  Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

Jess sent in this question on how to stop her dog Daisy who pulls washing from the line, then chews and swallows the clothes pegs. Panos offers some remedies and plans to help solve this issue. This can be a difficult one to solve, or it can be a real easy fix.

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. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

Responsibility as a dog owner refers to short-medium-long term commitments & obligations when living with your dog. Make time for training & exercise. Source out an appropriate diet. This isn't only for our dogs' survival - it is for them to thrive. Secure your yard and home, and if you need to, make time and energy for good dog training advice in-person to help guide you. Seek out an NDTF-qualified trainer in your local area. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

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! Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!

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. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy the show!
