Burnout is a topic that hits close to home for many dog trainers, handlers, and professionals working in emotionally and physically demanding environments.
Glenn and Pat dive into the nuances of burnout—how it differs from failure, where the overlap exists, and why it’s essential to make the distinction. They discuss personal insights, the mental weight of pressure and expectation, and the cultural narratives that often conflate stepping back with giving up.2025-05-161h 03The Canine ParadigmEpisode 337: Are burning out and failing the same thingsIn this episode of The Canine Paradigm, we respond to a thought-provoking question from one of our listeners: Is burning out the same as failing?

There are times when our communication with dogs—or even our students—isn’t as clear as it needs to be, and that lack of clarity can hinder progress.

The triangle offers trainers a simple yet powerful blueprint for structuring learning in the early phases of dog training and life development.

As an expert in structured training, Gavin brings a fresh perspective on how fitness principles could enhance dog training.
Many dog training methods rely on subjective assessments. However, fitness training follows a structured approach that tracks progress over time. By applying similar principles, trainers could improve their ability to measure a dog’s development, adjust training strategies, and ensure long-term success.
Additionally, Glenn discusses an issue that is slowing down progress in the do...2025-03-041h 23The Canine ParadigmEpisode 330: Their truth may not be the truthIn this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Their truth may not be the truth, we take a deep dive into the complexities of communication, frustration, and conflict. Misunderstandings and disagreements are inevitable in any community, including the world of dog training, but how we navigate them can make all the difference.
Glenn and Pat explore how different people perceive "truth" and why someone’s version of events may not always align with objective reality. By understanding these differences, we can improve communication, reduce frustration, and avoid unnecessary conflict.

This time, we take a closer look at past comments allegedly made by Ingrid Newkirk, the founder of PETA, which suggest a desire to see pet ownership come to an end.
Some of our listeners pointed out that PETA actively encourages people to adopt dogs from shelters. While this may seem contradictory, we examine whether there is a deeper motive behind this message. Could promoting shelter adoptions be part of a larger agenda?

This bold claim has stirred debate within the dog training and pet owner communities.
Glenn and Pat dive into why they vehemently disagree with PETA’s stance, breaking down the benefits of crate training when implemented correctly. Far from being cruel, crate training offers dogs a safe and comfortable space that supports their natural instincts.

As a fundamental part of learning and training, shaping plays a crucial role in helping dogs understand and perform desired behaviours.
This time, we dive deeper into some of the concepts and debates surrounding shaping, including the often-discussed distinction between shaping and free shaping. What are the differences? When is one approach more effective than the other? We also discuss the practical applications of these methods and how they influence learning for both dogs and their handlers.
Whether you’re new to the concept of...2025-01-181h 26The Canine ParadigmEpisode 326: Thoughts on what constitutes a tough dogIn this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn and Pat delve into the intriguing question: What makes a tough dog? Glenn reflects on his earlier years in the dog training world, where inexperience led to misinterpretations of what toughness in a dog truly means. Over time, with exposure to a greater variety of dogs, he developed a better understanding and a clearer baseline.
Pat adds to the discussion by exploring the importance of proper puppy raising as a foundation for developing stronger, more resilient dogs. He shares insights into the challenges and key concerns that trainers and owners need to...2025-01-061h 13The Canine ParadigmEpisode 325: The importance of time and hermetic principlesThe importance of time and Hermetic principles. Glenn and Pat delve into two interconnected yet unique topics: the value of time and the application of Hermetic principles.
Glenn highlights the critical role time plays in the lives of our dogs, emphasising how professionals in the dog industry—whether trainers or health specialists—are effectively giving dogs the gift of more time. By enhancing their quality of life, resolving behavioural challenges, or improving their overall health, these professionals add immeasurable value to the lives of our canine companions.
Pat takes the discussion into an intriguing direction by introducing the Hermetic principles, a se...2025-01-011h 53The Canine ParadigmEpisode 324: Throwing cookies on the floorMerry Christmas from The Canine Paradigm! In this festive episode, we kick things off with holiday cheer and well wishes for all our listeners celebrating Christmas. As part of the fun, Pat dives into his fascination with the global sightings of drones and mysterious orbs, sparking a lively and light-hearted discussion.
The episode then transitions to a controversial topic inspired by a recent publication claiming that dogs wearing a harness or collar are more likely to pull. We explore the science and implications of this claim, breaking down whether the tool itself is to blame or if the issue lies...2024-12-251h 07The Canine ParadigmEpisode 323: Who is the main character in your story?In this episode, Who is the main character in your story? We dive into the complexities of dog training communities and the dynamics that arise within them. Recent verbal scuffles and heated discussions have led to accusations of cult-like behaviour among some groups and businesses in the dog training world. These disputes have raised important questions about loyalty, influence, and why people may follow individuals or organisations that demonstrate harmful or manipulative behaviour.
We examine the psychological factors that drive such loyalty, from a desire for belonging to fear of exclusion or retaliation. We also explore how power dynamics, charisma...2024-12-151h 06The Canine ParadigmEpisode 322: Stop focusing on the spiderIn this weeks episode of The Canine Paradigm, we explore some of the most common challenges faced by dog owners and trainers, including resource guarding, destructive chewing, aggression, and a general lack of understanding of dog behaviour. The phrase “Stop Focusing on the Spider” serves as a reminder not to fixate on surface-level issues while overlooking deeper behavioural causes.
We discuss how focusing too narrowly on a specific behaviour can cause trainers and owners to miss the bigger picture. For example, addressing destructive chewing requires understanding the root causes, such as boredom, anxiety, or unmet needs. Similarly, dealing with aggression or r...2024-12-111h 14The Canine ParadigmEpisode 321: Pushing in and pulling out of behaviourIn this weeks episode of The Canine Paradigm, we delve into the fascinating interplay between negative reinforcement and positive reinforcement in dog training. The concept of “pushing in and pulling out of behaviour” explains how negative reinforcement can push a dog into a desired behaviour, while positive reinforcement pulls them out by rewarding completion.
We explore how this dynamic works in shaping behaviours and how it fits into the broader phases of training. From the initial learning stages to proofing behaviours for reliability, understanding the balance of reinforcement types can significantly improve training outcomes.
Hopefully you will gain insights into prac...2024-12-011h 03The Canine ParadigmEpisode 320: Personal accountability for you and your dogIn this episode , we continue last week’s conversation about the challenges faced by dog rescue groups. While the previous episode focused on the difficulties presented by gatekeepers and front-facing roles, this week we shift the spotlight to the other side of the coin—poor accountability from those seeking to adopt or surrender dogs.
Rescue workers often deal with a barrage of excuses and a lack of responsibility from the public, making their already demanding jobs even more challenging. We unpack some of the most frustrating behaviours and explore how personal accountability can make a huge difference for rescue organisations, adop...2024-11-241h 14The Canine ParadigmEpisode 319: The crazy gate keepers in dog rescueIn this weeks episode, we tackle some of the frustrating realities of the dog rescue world. We discuss how certain rescue groups create excessive red tape and barriers, making it incredibly difficult for well-meaning adopters to rescue a dog. This unnecessary gatekeeping can delay or prevent good people from giving a dog a loving home, and we explore why this happens and its impact on both adopters and dogs.
On the flip side, we highlight the issue of loose operators who quickly “flip” dogs without the proper care or management. These operators often overlook essential safety and behavioural checks, putting both...2024-11-181h 03The Canine ParadigmEpisode 318: What happens in AmericaIn 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 Mela...2024-11-0955 minThe Canine ParadigmEpisode 317: The speed of the dog comes from understandingIn 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 in...2024-10-2957 minThe Canine ParadigmEpisode 316: Are dogs better off now?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 ca...2024-10-121h 03The Canine ParadigmEpisode 315: Struggle cuddles with your dogIn 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 op...2024-10-091h 04The Canine ParadigmEpisode 314: Brave new science and deprivationIn 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...2024-09-221h 08The Canine ParadigmEpisode 313: What dumb stuff is the owner doingIn 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...2024-09-151h 23The Canine ParadigmEpisode 312: Training a bored dog to dig a holeIn 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 incr...2024-09-041h 21The Canine ParadigmEpisode 311: Dog trainers and invisible new clothesIn 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 ma...2024-08-271h 21The Canine ParadigmEpisode 310: Dog trainers and the OlympicsIn 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, th...2024-08-171h 13The Canine ParadigmEpisode 309: The ladder of dog aggressionn 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...2024-08-111h 20The Canine ParadigmEpisode 306: How pharmaceuticals could be changing dog trainers.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.

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...2024-07-141h 06The Canine ParadigmEpisode 123: Pat Nolan’s Covid projectPat Nolan's Covid project is a promising look into the potential of dogs being trained to detect Covid-19. We understand that there are no guarantees in this field, however it's exciting nonetheless.
We're very supportive of Pat Nolan being a part of this project as it has potential to change the world. It's a part of our life for now to keep hearing the word Covid - 19 or Corona virus. We're sick of it for the most part as it has stopped the world and disrupped what we know as normal.
However, we don't mind hearing about Covid -19, if...2020-04-1155 minThe Canine ParadigmEpisode 81: Our thoughts on group classesOur thoughts on group classes came about from a show listeners who asked a variation of good questions. Some of those questions were in relation to how to run the best type of class. Another question was, what would that look like?
Everyone has their take on what the ideal group class should like. Some prefer tradition, some prefer to make the trial orientated and some like to have their spin.
Good classes come from good management. If you establish a great environment, you will have people captivated and wanting to learn more. However, there's more to it than just...2019-06-1955 minThe Canine ParadigmEpisode 80: Trial preparedness and nervesTrial preparedness and nerves is something all dog sport competitors go through. In fact most people are nervous in trials. There's something about putting it all on the line that scares the bravest of us.
However, it shows us where our preparedness has taken us and gives us insight on what we need to do next. It's normal to be nervous in trials as we are being judged by our peers. It's also because we take pride in our work and we want to do well.
Trial preparedness and nerves was an episode we wanted to speak more on after...2019-06-1457 minThe Canine ParadigmEpisode 79: Cannabalism in the industryCannabalism in the indutry is also about a lack of support in the industry for each other. We find it incredibly frustrating that small groups of people just seem to want to go it alone. Can you imagine how much better it may be if we joined forces? Still doing our own thing but using our collectove might to speak up on issues. not just the small ones but the big ticket items.
We need to be better than this. The lack of support in the industry is honestly alarming. The dog sport groups being the worst. When we do...2019-06-061h 33The Canine ParadigmEpisode 77: Trainers making terrible videosTrainers making terrible videos does not portray our industry well. It creates ammunition for the parties already with agendas. In this pod-cast, we discuss our concerns around the videos but also ask what could be done better?
How do you convince a fellow trainer that their work that they believe is good is in fact, not? The question that needs to be asked is, if it was you, what would change your mind?
Trainer videos fall into a lot of categories. Some are complete marketing nonsense, some are highly valuable, educational material and then there are just bombs.
Unfortunately there...2019-05-251h 05The Canine ParadigmEpisode 76: Who governs the animal law makersWho governs the animal law makers is a question most of us should be asking. It's important to know who writes our laws and why? Who are the key stakeholders the benefit from the news laws or even many of the old ones? Is it some of us and if so who are they, or do we all benefit? Is it for the good of the community or for the popularity and relevancy of a politician?
As you can see above, there's already a list of questions that can be asked and should be. For many of us in the...2019-05-161h 07The Canine ParadigmEpisode 75: Greyhounds and horses with Jedda and GeorgieGreyhounds and horses with Jedda and Georgie is the longest title we believe we have had on our show before. This podcast may raise some eyebrows in some circles as both ladies are involved in the racing industry. Not unlike most industries, there is speculation and often untruths around what people think and feel. This occurs more often when people feel strong emotions about something they see as aversive.
It's true that animal racing industries have had dark past and unscrupulous people. Those people are seeping into all the cracks however and it has to be identified as a people...2019-05-111h 16The Canine ParadigmEpisode 73: The two wolves expandedThe two wolves expanded is the tale of the two wolves that many of us have most likely heard. We each have two wolves fighting for our soul. A good wolf or a bad wolf or a white wolf and a dark wolf. The question is asked, "which wolf would win the fight?" The answer being, the one that we feed.
In this episode, Birdy O'Sheedy joins Glenn Cooke once again to expand on the tale of the two wolves. Some times we tend to hear the abbreviated versions of great stories. This can and unfortunately often does leave out...2019-04-201h 23The Canine ParadigmEpisode 71: Bart Bellon on remote trainersBart Bellon on remote trainers is a story about Bart and Michael Bellon and their development of the Chameleon.

Bart goes on to explain what the difference is with a Martin systems compared to other models on the market.

Many feel it's important to have an open mind...2019-04-031h 35The Canine ParadigmEpisode 70: Living with a reactive dogLiving with a reactive dog can be difficult and for some, upsetting. When most people think of reactivity, they are immediately drawn to aggression.
Reactivity is beyond the scope of just aggression as it is really about how any species responds to stimuli. For example, you may have a dog that is very quiet normally, except when a cat is present. In this example, the focus is now on predatory drive rather than that of fear based aggression.
Many forms of reactivity are associated with frustration and sometimes the end result is different than initially believed.
A reactive dog draws...2019-03-291h 12The Canine ParadigmEpisode 69: Customer expectationsCustomer expectations can be varied. What we mean by that is that some customers have reasonable views and others, well they don't.
Some have an expectation, however they fail to maintain the most simplistic obligation.
We all find this frustrating. Anyone in any industry does when you know that the only way results will be maintained or improved is with cooperation.
The expectations of customers can be over the top, unachievable and bizarre. The only time it's a problem is when you or any industry professional allows the belief to continue.
If they are consulted well at the start and...2019-03-2258 minThe Canine ParadigmEpisode 67: Interviewing Pat NolanInterviewing Pat Nolan was a great honour for us as it is with all our guests.

Many people don't know and don't understand how much effort people in rescue go to. The time, energy and effort required is like planning a rock concert.
The other major point behind the rescue fence is that these people deal with the dogs many people discard like trash. They welcome them into their own homes, have those same home destroyed and then do it again.

Now he's back and we get down to chatting about some odd trends.
People are bragging about how they don't train their dogs to be obedient. Some of the the points may sound quite silly, however we go into detail with Tyler to discuss various meanings behind the claim.

Birdy has two business's with the same name but a clever different meaning. Pause in life for her human work and Paws in life for her human / pet work.
The title drop your anchor is about teaching us to stand up tall, dig your heels in.
Glenn and Pat thought it had a different meaning and in some references it does, but not the one Birdy uses.

She also discusses her dogs, how she came to have them and the people who...2018-11-071h 00The Canine ParadigmEpisode 50: Diagnosing problems in trainingDiagnosing problems in training came from points our listeners were posting in our Facebook group. Given that anyone who has owned or trained or been around dogs knows that there are always going to be problems.
