    Episode 328: It’s cruel to crate train a dog
    Jan 27 2025
    In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, we address the controversial allegation by PETA that crate training is neglectful, therefore cruel to dogs. This bold claim has stirred debate within the dog training and pet owner communities. Glenn and Pat dive into why they vehemently disagree with PETA’s stance, breaking down the benefits of crate training when implemented correctly. Far from being cruel, crate training offers dogs a safe and comfortable space that supports their natural instincts. It can help with house training, reduce anxiety, and even keep dogs safe in certain situations. The episode also explores common misconceptions about crate training and provides practical tips for ensuring it is done in a humane and effective way. Whether you’re new to crate training or looking to challenge misleading claims, this episode brings clarity to an often-misunderstood topic.28: Is crate training cruel Further Details Are you in search of top-tier dog trainers and steadfast supporters of the Canine Paradigm?

    Episode 327: Revisiting shaping and free shaping in dogs
    Jan 18 2025
    In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, we revisit one of our favourite topics: shaping behaviours. As a fundamental part of learning and training, shaping plays a crucial role in helping dogs understand and perform desired behaviours. This time, we dive deeper into some of the concepts and debates surrounding shaping, including the often-discussed distinction between shaping and free shaping. What are the differences? When is one approach more effective than the other? We also discuss the practical applications of these methods and how they influence learning for both dogs and their handlers. Whether you’re new to the concept of shaping or looking to refine your understanding, this episode offers insights and techniques to enhance your training practices.

    Episode 326: Thoughts on what constitutes a tough dog
    Jan 6 2025
    In this episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn and Pat delve into the intriguing question: What makes a tough dog? Glenn reflects on his earlier years in the dog training world, where inexperience led to misinterpretations of what toughness in a dog truly means. Over time, with exposure to a greater variety of dogs, he developed a better understanding and a clearer baseline. Pat adds to the discussion by exploring the importance of proper puppy raising as a foundation for developing stronger, more resilient dogs. He shares insights into the challenges and key concerns that trainers and owners need to address during a puppy’s formative years to ensure they grow into confident, well-balanced adults. This episode is packed with practical advice and personal experiences, making it a must-listen for anyone curious about the traits that contribute to a dog’s toughness and how upbringing and training play a vital role.

Great podcast, great content, amazing humans

This podcast is a serious part of my life. I love the fact that they aren't just about being great dog trainers. They are also about being incredible humans. Their honesty, transparency, realness & genuine persona are appreciated when there is so much BS in this world. Then add the great chemistry between the 2 obvious friends, their knowledge, intelligence, stories, experiences, and humour all make such an enjoyable, valuable, meaningful, educational & entertaining podcast. I always come away feeling lighter, better educated & inspired after listening to each & every episode. Love you guys!

become an echo chamber

I was completely shut off by one of the creators, and the only reason I can guess as to why is asking questions
