The Canine Paradigm

• Episode 353: Cannon Fodder for the crazies

  In Episode 353 of The Canine Paradigm, we talk about how genuine science gets twisted online and why that matters for dogs and their people. We begin with voices who keep the facts straight, including Dr Melanie Uhde, and show how clear reporting can upset those who rely on vibes over evidence. Then we look at the pattern that follows. Big personalities rarely enter the arena themselves. Instead, they rally highly engaged followers to attack, while they stay behind the wall and keep their hands clean.We unpack how this cycle forms, why confused audiences become cannon fodder, and how to protect good discussion from bad faith tactics. Most importantly, we share practical ways owners and trainers can check claims, reduce drama, and keep the focus where it belongs, on dogs and results.

• Episode 352: Stereotypes of dog owners on social media

  In Episode 352 of The Canine Paradigm, we look at stereotypes of dog owners on social media. First, we talk about how these labels form, why the algorithms reward them, and how that shapes what owners believe about training. Then we contrast two worlds. On one side, ethical and brilliant trainers who teach clearly and show real progress. On the other, clout chasers who market better than they train and turn drama into a business model. We explore how to spot red flags, how to verify claims, and how to find reliable guidance that helps dogs and families. It is a practical guide to cutting through noise, choosing better voices, and keeping the focus where it belongs, on the dog.

• Episode 351: It’s all about the dog pooh life

  In this gloriously grubby edition of The Canine Paradigm, we lean right into the dog pooh life and answer the two questions you sent that made us laugh out loud. First, our worst dog diarrhoea story. We relive the slip, the splatter, and the sprint for paper towels, then talk through what the mess told us about health, how we calmed the situation, rehydrated, and reset the diet without drama. Next, a classic training confession. A listener asked for a memorable time a dog blew us off in a session. We share the look, the turn away, and the magnetic pull toward anything more interesting, then explain how we rebuilt engagement with clearer cues, better rhythm, and sensible expectations.

• Episode 350: The experience of the dog in training

  In this episode, we shift the lens away from outcomes and titles and look at what often gets overlooked, the dog’s experience during training. Is the dog learning with clarity, or simply complying under pressure? Are we building understanding or just building behaviour? We explore how training isn’t just about what a dog does at the end of a program, but how they felt throughout the journey. Confidence, confusion, fear, motivation, these internal states shape the long-term success of training more than most realise. Whether you’re a trainer, a handler, or a dog owner, this conversation will get you thinking deeply about what it feels like to be on the other end of the lead. Because the best training doesn’t just teach skills, it builds trust, optimism, and resilience.

• Episode 349: What do you need to train a dog to do?

  In Episode 349 of The Canine Paradigm, we dive deep into a question that gets to the heart of dog ownership, what do most families actually need their dog to be trained to do? We explore the essential skills and behaviours that, if taught properly, make the difference between a happy, well-integrated companion and a dog that ends up rehomed or worse. From recall and loose-leash walking to house manners and neutrality, we outline the minimum viable behaviours that support a successful relationship between dogs and their people. We also venture into a future-facing discussion, will AI replace dog trainers? As artificial intelligence grows more sophisticated, there’s speculation around whether it can guide pet owners well enough to put real trainers out of work. We weigh up the possibilities, challenges, and realities of automation in our industry. This one’s both practical and philosophical, and we hope it sparks thought and discussion.
