Life With Your Dog

In this episode, Panos explores the gap between what people say and what they actually do and why dogs are often the most honest judges of our behaviour.

Dogs don't listen to our intentions.

They don't care about our excuses.

They respond to the patterns we create every day.

In this episode:

Why actions reveal more than words

Why you can't lie to your dog

What dogs are actually looking at when deciding who to trust

Can dogs tell when we're being fake?

What training thousands of dogs has taught us about people

Are dogs a reflection of the habits and behaviours of the humans raising them

Panos answers listener questions from Nathan, Rebecca and Tom.

People hear what you say. Dogs experience what you do.

On this episode of Life With Your Dog, Panos talks about the concept of Play, Train & Exercise and why the best sessions with your dog combine all three together.

Rather than separating walks, obedience and play into completely different activities, Panos explains how engagement, structure, rewards and movement can all work together naturally in everyday life.

From structured walks and tug games to obedience around distractions and building functional communication, this episode explores how to create a more fulfilling relationship with your dog while still meeting their mental and physical needs.

In Episode 276, Panos and Luke sit down with Lisa Wray, who spent 16 years working and managing the shelter where Panos has volunteered for over a decade.

Lisa shares what it really takes to run a high-functioning shelter—from building a tight-knit team to creating an environment where both staff and dogs can thrive.

Her leadership played a key role in improving the welfare of the animals, proving that good people management directly impacts dog outcomes.

Drawing from years on the ground, the conversation dives into the realities of shelter life: implementing training systems, understanding behaviour under stress, and balancing structure with compassion.

Panos reflects on his 10+ years working alongside Lisa as a volunteer trainer, supporting staff and volunteers in handling and training resident dogs.

This episode is packed with practical insights for anyone interested in dog behaviour, shelter work, or what it truly means to lead from the front.

Most dog owners are accidentally reinforcing bad behaviour on every walk.

In this episode, Panos breaks down the biggest mistake - putting the walk on autopilot.

Pulling, scanning, and ignoring you all get rehearsed daily without realising.

Walks aren’t just exercise - they’re training.

Learn how small changes in structure and intention can completely change your dog’s behaviour.
