his week, we dive deep into the philosophy of "Purpose Deprivation." We also tackle the unavoidable aversives of life, breaking down how we can better manage them, not just in our own lives, but in our dogs lives too.We interrupt the podcast to make a live airport phone call to drop a massive global announcement for YCA. Plus, The Mutt Nut shares (with a little persuasion) some amazing personal news.Shout out to our sponsors: Twenty Two Eleven | VIP Car Sourcing - https://www.instagram.com/twentytwo_elevenvip/The Canine Carpenter | Dog Training Equipment UK | Handcrafted in Norfolk - https://www.instagram.com/thecaninecarpenter?igsh=MW1rM2x4ZHQ2dDk0Zg==
This week, we take the podcast on the road to Hickorys to see how the latest cohort of bootcampers handle the real world.We catch up with Bodie and his parents (the dog that Jacob flat-out didn't believe we could train in just 5 days) to hear about their breakthrough week. We also send them on their journey with a crucial piece of advice that every dog owner needs to hear to make their training stick.Meanwhile, Kirkey consumes an ungodly amount of Tiramisu, and the back half of the episode devolves into unfiltered YCA office gossip... including a highly questionable debate around Tapas.Check out this weeks sponsor here - https://www.instagram.com/twentytwo_elevenvip/
In this episode, Jacob finally shares the highly anticipated story of what happened when he woke up to a man standing at the end of his bed at 3 AM. What follows is an absolute masterclass in home defence, involving a broken heel, a barefoot foot chase, and a showdown you won't believe.But we've sprinkled in some highly valuable dog training food for thought along the way. We tackle the dangerous reality of dogs reacting to bicycles and explain why ditching the food bowl to make your dog work for their meals will completely change their mindset.
This week, a bizarre incident at YCA involving a delivery driver leads us to one of the most accurate (and hilarious) dog training metaphors we've ever stumbled upon, 'The "UPS Driver" Effect'.We also get serious about why there is absolutely nothing "noble" about getting bitten by a dog and hear from Harry on how he found the recent development week.
To get to the valuable dog training insights in this episode, you have to get through a lot of "shaft" talk first.We speak to Kelly the ‘alcoholic dog walker' and hear an amazing transformation story from this weeks bootcamp.Mac the Amstaff used to leave his owner Kathleen, in tears daily, terrified of walks after he caused serious injuries on the lead. Now? She has full confidence to walk him anywhere and is plotting camper van adventures.And the all-important question: does it have a top and a bottom, or a front and a back? Let us know in the comments.
Is our dog training bootcamp really worth pawning off family heirlooms? According to one of our latest reviews... yes. Yes, it is.This week, we are having a "deload week" and officially becoming "internet dog trainers." We sit down to read out some of the most unhinged (and genuinely amazing) client reviews we've ever received—including the story of Simba, a Staffy who was quite literally reactive to "squirrels, grass, and fresh air"
Is your dog the dictionary definition of a "Knobhead"? This week, we are tackling the biggest fear most owners have when it comes to dog training: Will telling my dog "no" ruin our relationship?We also have a very unexpected guest who was rescued from a literal murder scene and we find out why you should absolutely not let your dogs sleep in your bed if they treat the garden like an all you can eat buffet.
This week is brought to you by our entirely non-consensual sponsor, Chocomel.In this episode, we have an unexpected guest and finally tell the long-awaited shoplifter supermarket fight story. Chloe steps in to separate fact from fiction and explain how it all somehow resulted in free ice cream. Don't bill us if you spit your Chocomel out on your sofa.

Meet the man with the 65kg Rottie and the world's most unnecessary vowels.Owain originally came to the YCA as a desperate owner with a "knob" of a dog, but he liked the training so much he never left. From client to colleague - this is how one nightmare dog accidentally started a career.
From Australia's sharks to Miami's aggressive bread merchants, this episode is pure chaos. Jacob owns up to the massive management fail that left Stark with stitches and why pain is a bigger motivator than a biscuit. We're also talking 2025 Mentorship and why 50 dog nerds are descending on the Academy this weekend.

And quite frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves.Listen at your own discretion.The boys dedicate this one to Uncle Glenn Cooke x---LAST CHANCE DON'T MISS OUT!
