Life With Your DogLife With Your DogEp243 - When do dogs mature? There are 4 stages of maturity in dogs ranging from puppyhood through adolescence to maturity.

Any individual is a mosaic of their extended family. Panos & Luke discuss the roles genetics and environment (innate and learnt behaviour) play in what creates a behaviour, temperament and mindset. Environment brings forth genetic expression and it's potential, this relates to type/level of drive, temperament, health, social behaviours, anxiety and aggression to name a few. It's not only training that develops a behaviour, it is also the DNA of your dog. Work with the dog that is in front of you. Thank you for listening!

Many pet owners may feel "awkward" or "mean" for having to advocate for their dog's right to feel safe when they are out and about in the world It is a total MYTH that stranger dogs should always be allowed to interact with one another, or that your dog should have to accept attention from any person they do not know ...2022-03-1147 minLife With Your DogLife With Your DogEp116 - Being Predictably Unpredictable?In this week's episode, Panos and Luke discuss the concept of developing habits in our application of training to create reliable behaviours in our dogs.
