LSQBelle & Sebastian - Stuart MurdochOne of my favorite insights from Belle & Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch in episode #75: “Maybe 1994 or 1995, a switch came on, and I started writing better songs. There's no doubt about that. I remember writing a song called ‘Dog on Wheels’ at the start of 1995, and then quickly after that, I wrote a song called ‘The State I Am In,’ a song called ‘Lord Anthony,’ ‘Sleep The Clock Around,' and it suddenly started flowing. There was a moment when I been in my favorite cafe, which I practically lived in — the Grosvenor Cafe — and I started getting the idea for ‘The State I Am In.’ I h...2022-05-2429 min

It was a listen to the band’s latest offering ‘A Bit of Previous’ that had me intrigued enough to thoroughly anticipate and enjoy a chat with Stuart Murdoch.

The Canine ParadigmEpisode 163: Purpose breeding puppiesPurpose breeding puppies is usually on the minds of owners, trainers, breeders. 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.

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?

It's forgiveable to assume, big add, lots of money so they must be a great trainer. It can also mean that they are just great at marketing and average at the important part.
This really needs to be a win...2020-05-301h 17The Canine ParadigmEpisode 128: Jason FirminJason Firmin is a name that has been attached to The canine Paradigm since our humble beginnings. In some ways, he's the third musketeer, apart from Birdy.
Firmin may sound like a gruff, grumpy old bastard, however in reality he has a heart of gold. He still is all those things and more but he will drop everything to help out his mates and the industry.
Recently Jason has been embarking on an incredible weight loss journey which he really needed to do due to several health concerns. Firmin shares his battle with obesity and complications that almost cost him...2020-05-161h 16The Canine ParadigmEpisode 127: The role of the master coachThe role of the master coach ultimately is to empower the student to learn everything they can. It's teaching a person to be empowered, not creating a dependant. In last weeks episode we spoke about dependencies. What's interesting and disturbing is that some coaches exploit that.
They become a drug dealer rather than a life dealer. Instead of coaching the bird to leave the nest and fly, they keep the bird small and make it feel helpless without the coach.
A true master coach is not about vanity and ego. They want their student to ultimately be better than them.
...2020-05-081h 17The Canine ParadigmEpisode 126: Diminishing returnDiminishing return is an episode that focus's around a point of obsession. That area is based around people who too much of something, which throws their life plan out of balance.
For example, think of a student who studies for a job. Once they get the qualification, they then feel that perhaps they should do some more study to stay ahead of the game. Then, after they finish that course, they enrol in another and then another and so on. Now they are in a phase of diminishing return.
In the field of economics, diminishing returns has a different meaning...2020-05-011h 00The Canine ParadigmEpisode 125: Peggy’s PromisePeggy's promise is a pet rescue charity organisation located on the central coast of New South Wales, Australia.
It is mainly run by three ladies, Sharon, Eleni and Megan with a score of wonderful volunteers. These people give so much to all the throw away pets in society by opening their homes and their hearts.
What most people don't know is that rescue organisations like Peggy's and so many more dip into their own pockets. Funding these operations are not cheap and there's not a lot of deep pockets around.
So where does the money from? It comes from us...2020-04-2458 minThe Canine ParadigmEpisode 124: Keeping up with Jason CohenKeeping up with Jason Cohen is no easy task. This man is on the hop all day long as he has his finger in many pies.

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 122: Training ideas during lock downTraining ideas during lock down is now the new norm for now which means we need to evolve. No one we know saw this coming, it's the stupidest thing and it's very serious.
What is even more serious during this lock down process is how it will effect peoples lives and businesses. Not to mention the impact it's already having on mental health.
So the lock down means change to our life and to our income. Fortunately we have access to the internet and we can still be somewhat social.
To many people, it's a lifestyle they are sadly familiar...2020-04-041h 42The Canine ParadigmEpisode 121: Help your matesHelp your mates is a term touted in Australia ever since I can remember. For a while it seemed to run out of a bit of steam which is unfortunate. In some cases, people work on the premises of screw your mate.
When you watch people beating each other over toilet paper, that makes you question the integrity of mates and mate-ship.
In any emergency, you must take care of yourself first. You simply have to or the possibility of two accidents or worse exists. Then when you're in a good position, try and be of service to others. That's...2020-03-271h 06The Canine ParadigmEpisode 120: The fat commandoThe Fat commando may seem ironic as a heading and you may be wondering what's the relevance? Well to answer that, you will have to listen to the episode smarty pants. While we are talking about smarties, Americans don't even have real smarties like Australians do. I mean, WTAF? They are not the same and not delicious. Lift you game USA, because Canada knows what we're talking about.
We are living in strange times indeed and it has nothing to do with getting fat from eating delicious smarties! Dam it, now I want some and I'll probably need a bodyguard...2020-03-2157 minThe Canine ParadigmEpisode 119: The six P’sThe six p's is an episode that focuses entirely on being a better organised dog owner or handler. The six p's mean that proper preparation prevents piss poor performance.
It's an expression that's been around for quite a while and is still used frequently in many services. When you think about it though, it's hard to argue with. When you have a plan, it makes the operation so much easier. It relieves stress, because you're organised, it increases the time factor, it prevents frustration and adds more value to your life.
There are so many positive factors that it's almost...2020-03-141h 12The Canine ParadigmEpisode 118: Sara BrueskeSara Brueske has the best last name by Australian standards.

It enhances lives, communities, businesses you name it. The more we open ourselves up, the less ignorant we are and the more progressive we can be.
rather than fight something on rumour or innuendo, we can really know what we're fighting for.
Students of dog training need to remain educated over being opinionated. We will all do far better for our dogs and our community if we continue to grow.

For example, some people are told that their rescue dog has been a part of a bait ring. In a majority of cases, this is highly unlikely. It doesn't mean some dogs are not subjected to this torment. It does mean that at one time it became a story that escalated quickly.
Because of this and other reasons, we felt it was time to make a reference...2020-01-301h 14The Canine ParadigmEpisode 113: Taking care of youTaking care of you may sound arbitrary, however it's often so easy overlooked and undervalued. In many cases, dog handlers will fuss more over what their dog is eating while not giving a second thought to themselves.
It's so wonderful that we are learning to take better care of our dogs. Owners are making better choices in diet and staying more informed on what should go into their pets food.
But what about us? Why is it that our care has taken a back step? What type of backwards world are we living in that our health and wellbeing plays...2020-01-241h 10The Canine ParadigmEpisode 112: Cameron FordCameron Ford is a fascinating person Pat met while he was in Las Vegas.

There are so many myths out there it's almost impossible not to hear them. However, there were a few that we had not heard before that were both comical and troubling.
For example, If you give a working dog milk, it will never work again! Or you can get pregnant by sitting on a toilet seat.
That's the kind of information that old mate down the road loves telling the kids. Urban myths exist in all industries and just for the hell of...2020-01-111h 20The Canine ParadigmEpisode 110: Reflection & GratitudeReflection and Gratitude are virtues that most share around the time midnight ticks over on the 31st of December. Reflection allows us to examine life in and around us with a little more detail. Gratitude is recognising the many good people and things in our life that have made it great.
For example, if we both reflect on the past 2 years, we are very grateful for where we are. We are also grateful for where we are going. The AMAZING people around us, the opportunities that have arisen.

There is now a growing number of supporters suggesting that we should ask consent from a dog before certain practices.
However, when there's an argument for a practice, there is usually one against. So naturally, there is a suggestion that it is not possible for a dog to consent to.
Now, we're asking for the fact. What are they? What is the supporting science?
