    Episode 364: Love, death and robots
    Apr 30 2026
    In Episode 363 of The Canine Paradigm, things get wild, technical, and a little heavenly. Glenn opens with an update on Ladybug after she nearly tried to punch her own ticket to the pearly gates again. We talk through what happened, what the recovery looks like, and why these moments hit so hard when you live life with dogs. Then we pivot back to the listeners. We asked what topics you want, and you delivered. One question took the episode into a completely different orbit. What happens when AI starts interacting as a dog trainer, and how far could that realistically go? We explore what AI can do well, where it will fail, and why real-world training still depends on timing, observation, and judgement that is hard to replicate through a screen. It is part life update, part community chat, and part future-facing debate. Expect laughs, a bit of emotion, and a surprisingly technical dive, all in the one show.

    Episode 363: I’m strong enough to tackle this situation
    Mar 29 2026
    In Episode 363 of The Canine Paradigm, we talk about a mindset that changes everything, I’m strong enough to tackle this situation. The first step is learning the dog you actually have, not the dog you wish you had. We discuss reading the individual in front of you, understanding what drives them, and identifying where they feel capable versus where they feel unsure. From there, we focus on confidence. When a dog lacks confidence in a specific area, many owners either avoid it completely or push into it too hard. Neither approach builds real strength. Instead, we explain why you need a skillset that lets you build around the weak column. You develop clear training reps, predictable setups, and controlled exposures that teach the dog it can cope. Over time, the dog stops reacting with the same emotional charge because it now has a history of success. This episode is about turning uncertainty into capability. It is about showing the dog a path forward, then proving it through repetition. If you are working with a dog that hesitates, startles, shuts down, or overreacts, this conversation will help you build a plan that creates real confidence, not just temporary avoidance.

  • Episode 362: You need to go back to basics

    Episode 362: You need to go back to basics
    Mar 23 2026
    In Episode 362 of The Canine Paradigm, we start with a short recap from our recent chat with Nick Benger and the wider issue of people in the industry who wear masks to dupe their followers. We talk about how performance and branding can replace honesty, and why that creates confusion for owners trying to do the right thing. Then we get into the real value of this episode. When training starts to fall apart, most people try to fix the top layer. However, the fastest way forward is often to go back. We explain what it actually means to take a dog owner back through the basics properly, so their skills improve and the dog gets clarity again. We discuss timing, consistency, reinforcement delivery, and clean criteria, because small errors in the basics show up later as big problems in advanced work. If you have struggled with bad out, recall, loose lead walking, reactivity, or reliability, this episode will help you rebuild the foundation that makes everything else easier. The goal is not to start over out of defeat. The goal is to return to basics with intent, then build forward with confidence.

I've enjoyed every episode. Always engaging and thought-provoking with a good bit of humour. It feels like having a great discussion with your mates on all things dog related.
