Having been a professional dog trainer for decades, there are things I consistently see dog owners (even seasoned ones) do that are a hard “No” in my book. And when asked “Why are you doing that?” The most common reasons we hear are: “That’s how we’ve always trained/fed/walked our dog”, or “we searched for advice on the internet and that’s what we were told to do!” 🤷 Side note: Here at Dog Sense, we reaaaaally don't like/agree with most of the dog training advice...2021-11-2214 minKathy Santo's Dog SenseHere’s How to Keep Your Dog Safe This Holiday Season!Hello everyone, Kathy and Sarah here 🙌!

First, let me ask you a question: Does your dog absolutely hate going to the vet 🤔? You're not alone! A lot of dogs get anxious about going to the vet, and that's understandable. It’s kind of like when you have to go to an appointment you don’t enjoy (maybe the eye doctor, the dentist, etc.). The difference is that we know WHY we need to go, but we can’t explain the need for ‘vet visits’ to our dogs! ...2021-10-1110 minKathy Santo's Dog SenseHow to Feed Your DogHello everyone and welcome back to a new episode of Dog Sense 🙌!

Let me ask you a question: What does your dog's bucket look like 🤔? And no, we don't mean a literal bucket! We’re talking about his emotional one. Throughout the day, things can fill or drain a dog's emotional bucket, and that can result in your dog doing something out of character 🥴.

After all, dogs, just like humans, like having their own personal space, and just like with people, you want to respect that 🙏. Even if the dog is usually gentle and non-aggressive, it is your responsibility as the person in this equation to make sure you don't scare him, because, as you know, accidents are quick to happen 🤷.

Welcome back to a new episode of Dog Sense 🥳. Today, we'll be talking about solutions for a very common puppy challenge: How to prevent him 🐶 from eating everything while on a walk. Puppies are like toddlers 👶, which means that they love nothing more than picking up random stuff on the ground and trying to eat it.

But to a lot of dogs, they’re anything but fun. In fact, to them, they can be loud, scary, and an absolute nightmare 😔.

Both Sarah and I have lived with dogs that were sensitive to fireworks, and we had to work through their fear little by...2021-06-0712 minKathy Santo's Dog SenseWhy Do Dogs Bark?Hey guys, we're back with a new episode, and today, Sarah and I will be discussing something many of you have asked us about: Why do dogs bark 🤔? To know the answer, you have to learn to ‘speak’ dog (and since we’re fluent, we can help!). And we understand that you just want him or her to BE QUIET, but understanding the ‘WHY’ helps create better - and more one term! - solutions. The truth is that your dog's barking is his way of communicating with you and with the environment around him.

That’s why a tough day can be brightened just by watching puppies play together (that’s why the entire team at the dog school are so happy all the time)! However, even the cutest, most adorable puppy can grow up to become an adult dog with…….. ‘issues’. So, how can you make sure this doesn’t happen 🤔?

While there are amazing influencers who give so much amazing advise, there are frauds as well. They focus on a specific industry with a talent in marketing and buzz words while giving awful advise.
The same applies to many trainers as we have discussed regularly. Just because you're calling yourself a trainer, hiding behind a limited education and passing bad information is still adding problems to an industry demanding more.
This episode is not a bash. It's a focus point discussion asking people...2021-03-201h 10The Canine ParadigmEpisode 169: Life with your dogLife with your dog is a podcast show by our mates Panos Anagnostou and Luke Badman.

Panos reveals his vulnerability around his choice to return a working line puppy and how that punished his mind for a time.

Getting stuck in the echo chamber will not help you grow. It creates limitations in your ability to learn more about what you don't know. This in itself is where the main issues arise as your group is now convinced there's nothing more to know.
One of the points that you need to accept is that you will always be a student. It's nothing to be concerned about as it's really something to look forward to. The more you learn about what supports...2021-03-061h 22The Canine ParadigmEpisode 167: Arguing with an avatarArguing with an avatar is our thoughts around discussions that occur over social media. We find that many times arguments break out, we create an image or avatar of the person.
This can be a genuine issue as they may have so many more layers to them that we are unaware of. So the identity of the person may be lost to the bias around the social media avatar.
If you can choose anything in life, choose to be kind.

We wouldn't say that's always the case as there are so many people who did it without reason.
Puppies and puppy breeding have come under a lot of scrutiny in the last 10 years. Namely as there are so many puppies that never makes it to adulthood.
However, puppies do play an important part into preserving lineage of carefully planned breeding.
You know we both support rescue, however we both still see relevance in ethical breeding.

Knowledge is a gift given to all of us. We owe it to ourselves to ensure that we help to raise the ceiling of overall knowledge. This in turn ensures we leave this world in a better way than what we came into it.

This is an epidemic worse than our current pandemic. It's nothing new, however it appears to be getting worse. Subjects that people clearly don't understand are passionate subject matter in conversation.
How can we have so many people claiming knowledge in fields they have no experience? Is it more about drama and entertainment that tantalises the taste buds of the public now?

The rule of no more one more time applies to all of us in many different aspects. It encourages us to use our time wisely and focus on making training more successful.

It's a point of interest in our own industry as we often find ourselves arguing over terms and definitions. The very language that many of us operate under can be the same that divides us.
The reason language is important is that it allows us, if we make the time, to better understand each other.
This is fundamentally why people say, 'choose your words wisely'.
