Race to the Shear Switch is exactly what it sounds like. You either cut the cable, or the cable decides your night for you. On Episode 224, retired Coast Guard helicopter pilot Larry Hall makes that call for real. Actually, this episode opens rough. Co-host Fig joins fresh off a highway wreck, rear-ended by a Peterbilt into another rig. However, he’s already cracking jokes about mistaking himself for Captain Kirk on the anesthesia. Furthermore, guest Larry Hall isn’t new to chaos. The retired Coast Guard aviator flew H-52s off cutters, once herding a boat home with rotor wash. He calls it the Border Collie technique, and it’s exactly as wild as it sounds. Race to the Shear Switch: Inside Episode 224 Consequently, the real drama shows up at 2 a.m. Larry is flying a night check ride with a young JG named Charlie Ray. They’re trying to pump out a sinking trawler offshore. The hoist cable snags on the boat’s outrigger, and it turns into a straight-up race to the shear switch. Both pilots reach for it at once. Once you shear the cable, the helicopter turns back into a slow, sad observation platform that can’t do much. Luckily, a Coast Guard boat crew from Station Tybee reaches the trawler first, and everyone gets to go home. Years later, Larry runs into Charlie again, only now Charlie’s a four-star admiral who remembers every second of that night, calling it the only shear of his entire career. Not a bad story to swap with the Vice Commandant. Larry also digs into Coast Guard history between stories. He’s a volunteer at the service’s historian’s office, and he name-drops everything from the Cuban boat lift to Douglas Munro’s Medal of Honor at Guadalcanal. It’s a deep well, and he knows exactly where the good stuff is buried. And that race to the shear switch from decades ago still comes up whenever these two cross paths. Stay Connected

A Palm City, Florida, woman is facing 72 charges after 36 Border Collies were rescued from horrifying living conditions. Authorities say the dogs were confined inside a home filled with feces, urine and debris—and reports indicate that Animal Services had responded to concerns at the property numerous times since 2020.In this short episode, I discuss the suffering these dogs endured, the difficult connection between animal hoarding and mental health, and the question many people are asking: How was this allowed to continue for so long?The dogs are now receiving care through the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, but their physical and emotional recovery is only beginning.Hashtags:#AnimalHoarding #BorderCollieRescue #AnimalCruelty #PalmCityFlorida #ProtectAnimals

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, Lauren is joined by the brilliant Linda Hughes to introduce one very small dog with a very big personality. Meet Bobble – a two-kilo silver toy poodle who lives with four Border Collies, has absolutely no concept of being tiny, and somehow ended up with his own treehouse on Linda's desk.Living with a toy dog comes with its own unique set of considerations, and in this episode we explore what really changes when your newest family member is small enough to disappear beneath a Border Collie. From carefully managing play with bigger dogs and adding sofa steps to protect tiny joints, to resisting the temptation to accidentally create a dog who expects breakfast to arrive on a spoon, Lauren and Linda share the funny moments and practical lessons that have come with life alongside Bobble.The conversation also turns to training and day-to-day life. You'll hear why small dogs still need great recall, how easy it is to overlook the "easy" dog while managing everyone else, and why that could quickly lead to a tiny dog who thinks the rules don't apply. Linda also shares how she approaches grooming, clipping and coat care, including building positive associations with a dedicated grooming station so handling becomes just another part of life rather than something to dread.We also chat about toy breed fitness, supporting dogs with patella concerns, choosing toys that suit tiny mouths, and teaching a simple cue that helps manage breed-typical barking. And of course, no episode about Bobble would be complete without the story of how a firm "no dogs on the bed" rule quietly disappeared the moment one impossibly cute toy poodle curled up between the pillows.Whether you already share your home with a toy dog, you're thinking about welcoming one into your family, or you simply love hearing about the realities of life with dogs of every shape and size, this episode is guaranteed to leave you smiling.

Heute mit unserem Gast Daniela.

Our next guest has become something of a political celebrity in her own right. She’s appeared on television, stolen scenes from interviews and probably has stronger name recognition than some backbench MPs. Stella,   Barnaby Joyce unwittingly made headlines this week when during a live interview with the 7:30 Report, he yelled at his dog Stella to “Sit Down” while being asked if he was comfortable with some of Pauline Hanson's latest decisions – including her recent interview with controversial right-wing figure Tommy Robinson, comments referencing the White Australia policy and the funding of her trip to a fashion show in Sicily. The interruption has gone viral, with many discussing the way in which one ought to address a dog and how it ought to be treated. Barnaby Joyce apologised for yelling: “After getting to a point where I couldn’t really think straight, I had to tell her, in farm language, to be quieter…” “People in the regions laugh about it. People in the inner city think it's a war crime,” he said. He was on Today on Nine the next morning lovingly patting the dog. Stella is a two-year-old Border Collie-cross-Staffordshire Terrier. Pauline Hanson has laughed off the exchange, while One Nation has opened pre-ordering for dog leads emblazoned with “Sit Down” on its website as a piece of merchandise. Barnaby Joyce's wife, Vikki Campion, has written in her Substack that she will be banning the 7:30 Report from conducting interviews at their farm in the wake of the incident. “If you don’t do the interview you are accused of ‘hiding’ from transparency and if you do the interview, you are smashed for yelling at a dog… to sit down.” Meanwhile, Sydney Morning Herald columnist Michelle Cazzulino writes that Barnaby Joyce has delivered a political “masterstroke” in catering to his rural base and making critics seem like disconnected inner-city types. Meanwhile, Pauline Hanson drew criticism again this week for saying that Domestic Violence is “wrong, but it’s also a two-way street.” “I think today everyone’s sitting on a time bomb because the pressures on cost of living and people having to be able to pay the bills, tension that’s going on or if you lose your job or the kids, what’s happening with the children these days. Everyone is under so much pressure.” Alex Ward: Acting in the role of Stella is comedian Alex Ward, a queer comedian from Melbourne who has appeared on Have You Been Paying Attention?, The Project, Tonightly and many other shows. Alex is originally from Queensland and will be touring in August, as well as doing a show at Comedy Republic on July 31. Alex's wife is also expecting a baby (Alex has mentioned this on HYBPA). Alex is a very dry comedian and a great improviser. The post Sat, July 25th, 2026: Alex Ward; Stella Joyce, Barnaby Joyce's Dog; Political commentary from Australia’s most famous canine appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

075 Sarah Stremming, Cog Dog Coach, joins Megan to discuss how their two youngest dogs, Rayya (Sarah's Icelandic Sheepdog) and Sprint (Megan's Border Collie) have completely different training plans and are on really different paths, but how those paths ultimately lead to the same place. These two coaches dive in to why these differences are so important and the reality of the extra time and care it takes to adjust each detail depending on the day.

On this episode of Off Leash with Dr. Pete, Molly and Dr. Pete tackle one of the biggest myths in the dog world: how much does breed actually determine a dog's personality? From Golden Retrievers and Chihuahuas to Dobermans, Pit Bulls, and Border Collies, they discuss which stereotypes have some truth behind them-and which ones deserve to be left behind. Dr. Pete explains why genetics can influence certain behaviors, but don't determine whether a dog will be friendly, aggressive, or well-mannered. The conversation covers the importance of early socialization, proper training, matching a dog's energy level to your lifestyle, and why environment often plays a much larger role than breed alone. Along the way, Dr. Pete shares memorable stories from his years in practice that challenge many of the assumptions dog owners make about different breeds. Whether you're thinking about bringing home your first puppy or simply want a better understanding of canine behavior, this episode offers practical advice to help you choose, train, and care for your dog with confidence. Thanks so much for listening, and be sure to subscribe and review!

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, we're continuing our series of episodes exploring what concept training actually is and how it shows up in real life with your dog. We're taking the concepts you hear us talk about all the time, breaking them down, and making them practical, relatable, and easy to spot in your everyday training. This time, Lauren is joined by the brilliant Alice to explore one of the most important foundations for calm, connected walks: proximity.Ever feel like the moment your dog spots something interesting, you stop existing? Whether it's another dog, a squirrel, a jogger or an exciting scent, so many everyday struggles - from pulling on the lead to unreliable recall - come back to one simple question: where does your dog believe the value is? In this episode, Lauren and Alice explore why proximity isn't about keeping your dog glued to your side, but about building a dog who genuinely wants to stay connected because that's where the good stuff happens.Along the way, they share real-life stories that highlight just how much emotion can sit behind proximity. From a dog unexpectedly disappearing after deer to a young Border Collie finding human closeness overwhelming because it predicted restraint, you'll discover why some dogs naturally avoid being close, how we can accidentally poison proximity by making it signal "the fun's over", and how to change that picture.You'll also hear plenty of practical games you can start using straight away. From Middle, Middle Toes and Leg Weaves to Magic Hand, Two Feet On and simple collar-grab exercises, Lauren and Alice explain how these games build value for being near you, make handling feel positive, and create a dog who happily checks in both on and off lead. They also explore why proximity becomes such a powerful safety skill for reactive dogs, nervous dogs, and any dog learning to navigate busy environments with confidence.Ready to build a dog who chooses to stick with you?

Jen shares how a childhood with a police K9 shaped her sense of responsibility, and why living with five dogs now feels like the most meaningful work of her life. We talk pack dynamics, Border Collie needs, the “soul dog” idea, and how grief can deepen gratitude for ordinary days. • Growing up with Shep the police canine and learning what real training and partnership look like • Feeling judged for having five dogs and why curiosity lands better than commentary • Border Collies and the overlooked need for mental stimulation alongside exercise • What a normal day looks like with a five-dog routine and a well-adjusted pack • The big shift from two dogs to three and how pack roles and communication emerge • The gift of being present at the end and why pet grief can feel compounded over time • Why we avoid playing favorites and what “soul dog” means to different people • Choosing gratitude for fur, chores, and toy destruction as signs of a healthy household If you enjoyed this conversation, I'd love it if you'd follow the show, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who loves dogs.

Einiges los, Umbrüche stehen an.

In this episode I tackle one of the most common myths in dog training, the idea that calm equals focused. If you have been teaching your Border Collie to lie down, rewarding stillness, and building a foundation of doing nothing, hoping it would fix their focus outside, this episode explains why it might not be working.I talk about what focus actually looks like in a Border Collie, why it is rooted in energy and movement rather than calm, and why the arousal your dog carries is not the problem, it is the fuel. The job is not to offer calm. The job is to redirect it onto you.I also talk about what to do instead, why you need to become more exciting than the environment, and why a dog that seems unmotivated by food or toys is not a lost cause.This is part two of a two-part series on focus and engagement. If you haven't listened to part one yet, go back and start there first.

Coti, Pau y Julieta Venegas comparten una canción en CADENA 100.

In this episode I talk about why your Border Collie chases everything: bikes, joggers, other dogs, cars. And why the usual fixes so many owners try just don't get to the root of it. We cover why prey drive can actually develop and get stronger over time, why your dog isn't being stubborn when they ignore you outside, and why tiring them out or using high value treats misses the point entirely. Most importantly, I talk about where the training actually has to start and what needs to be in place before you ask your dog for anything else.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, Lauren is joined by Linda for a candid conversation about the mistakes that have shaped them as dog trainers and dog owners. Not the polished success stories, but the moments they would do differently, the lessons they learned the hard way, and the experiences that changed how they see dogs forever.From creating a Border Collie with endless intensity and no off switch, to teaching a reactive dog to scan the environment for trouble, they explore how easy it is to accidentally reinforce the very behaviours you're trying to avoid. Along the way, they discuss the hidden cost of drive, arousal and obsession, and why some of the things that look impressive in training can become problematic in everyday life.The conversation also turns to physical wellbeing and the lessons that come with experience. Lauren and Linda share stories of sport dogs who pushed through discomfort, injuries that taught them to look more carefully, and how their views on repetitive ball throwing, impact and canine fitness have evolved over time. You'll hear why high-drive dogs can be particularly difficult to read, and why enthusiasm doesn't always mean a dog's body is coping well.Alongside the serious lessons are plenty of lighter moments too. Runaway dogs, stolen sandwiches, Christmas turkey theft, unexpected chinchillas and the kinds of stories that are funny now, but perhaps weren't quite so funny at the time. Because if you've lived with dogs for long enough, you'll know that some of your greatest learning comes wrapped in chaos.Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that nobody ever knows it all. No matter how many dogs you've owned, how many qualifications you hold, or how much experience you've built, dogs have a remarkable way of keeping you humble. The best trainers aren't the ones who never make mistakes - they're the ones who keep learning from them.Ready to listen in?

One of the most common questions I get asked is: "Who is the pack leader after you?" — and my answer is that there is no pack leader, because we are not a pack. In this episode I break down what a pack actually is, why it doesn't apply to dogs living in a human household, and what the relationship between us and our dogs really looks like.We cover:The scientific definition of a pack and why humans and dogs don't qualifyThe alpha wolf myth: where it came from, and how it was debunkedWhat feral and street dogs in Italy, Eastern Europe, and South America actually do (and don't do) sociallyWhy dogs evolved to live with us, not to dominate usWhat our household really is — and why that matters for how we train and relate to our dogsPack (canine) — WikipediaPack Structure — Wolf Haven InternationalPacks (Zoology) — EBSCO Research StartersMech (1999) full paper PDF — wolf.org/USGS — L.

The Border Collie tops every "smartest dog" list on the internet. It learns commands in under five repetitions, obeys on the first try, and can learn the names of over a thousand objects. That is not an exaggeration. A Border Collie named Chaser did exactly that, under controlled scientific conditions, published in a peer-reviewed journal. The intelligence is real.What the headline leaves out is the other half of the sentence. That intelligence was built for a job. The Border Collie was forged in the hill country between Scotland and England to move sheep across open terrain all day, reading the flock, making split-second decisions without being told, running on a brain that was never designed to sit still. When you take that brain and put it in a home with no work, it does not turn off. It finds something else to do. That something is usually your furniture, your kids' heels, or the shadows on the wall.In this episode of The Dog Behind the Human, Coach Francis breaks down the full picture. The real history of the breed from Old Hemp in 1893 to the founding of the International Sheep Dog Society. What Stanley Coren's famous intelligence ranking actually measured, and what it missed. The genetic conditions every prospective owner needs to know before they commit. And the specific reason Border Collies flood rescues, not because they are bad dogs, but because someone saw "smartest dog in the world" and thought that meant easy. The dog is always right. We just have to learn to read it.

This week we meet Barron, a 6 year old black and white Border Collie weighing 58 pounds, and Rusty, a 2 year old brown brindle…

In this tail-wagging, brain-boosting, and totally paw-some episode of Wow in the World, Mindy, Guy Raz, and the WOW crew dive into the surprising science of label learning! At the Dog Vocab World Championship, label learning takes center stage as some of the smartest pups on the planet show off their incredible memories. And as Mindy and Guy discover, label learning might help explain how dog vocabulary works and why dog vocabulary in certain dogs can be way more impressive than you'd ever expect!When Mindy and Guy Raz arrive at a giant stadium to commentate the annual Dog Vocab World Championship, Mindy is mostly focused on one thing: finding a snack. Unfortunately for her, she ends up in the dog toy line instead of concessions and barely has time to figure out what's happening before she and Guy are rushed on air. Once the lights go up and the crowd starts barking, cheering, and howling, Mindy realizes this is no ordinary dog show. This is a high-stakes battle of memory, focus, and fetch.The competitors? A trio of elite canine superstars: the polished Professor Lex, the rebellious fan-favorite Noodle, and the reigning champion Banjo. One by one, the dogs are asked to retrieve specific toys from a big pile on stage, including avocado, monkey, racecar, airplane, and more. To win, each dog must remember which word belongs to which toy and fetch the correct one without making a mistake. It's like a spelling bee, a memory game, and a sporting event all rolled into one very fluffy package.But amid all the excitement, Mindy and Guy uncover the real WOW: a fascinating new scientific study from researchers in Budapest suggests that some dogs may not only learn words through direct teaching, but also by simply overhearing humans talk to one another. That means a dog might be able to learn the name of a toy even when no one is talking to the dog directly! In the study, researchers worked with special dogs that already knew lots of toy names. Then, instead of repeatedly teaching a new word face-to-face, the dog's owner and another person casually talked about the toy together while the dog watched and listened. Later, many of the dogs were able to fetch the correct toy, proving they had learned the word just by overhearing it.Scientists call this process label learning: understanding that a word belongs to a specific object. It's something human babies do too, by listening to the people around them talk. And it turns out some dogs, especially highly attentive breeds like Border Collies, may be able to do something surprisingly similar. That makes these pups true outliers in the animal kingdom, with some dogs able to recognize hundreds, and in rare cases even over a thousand, words.With live commentary, dramatic toy fetches, barks from the crowd, and an unforgettable championship showdown, this episode is packed with laughs, suspense, and an incredible look at how dogs learn.

This week on Animal Party with Deborah Wolfe, listener questions spark a fascinating and funny deep dive into the minds of our pets—featuring special guest Stanley Coren, author of The Intelligence of Dogs. Can dogs really have OCD? Are we over-labeling our pets with human psychology—or are science and behavior more connected than we think? From Prozac for pups to the surprising truth about breed instincts, Deb and Dr. Coren explore how genetics, lifestyle, and training shape behavior. You'll also learn why a bored Border Collie might redecorate your house, how to choose the right breed for your life, and whether 21 days is really enough to break a bad habit (spoiler: not even close!). Smart, insightful, and full of humor, this episode helps you better understand what makes your pet tick—and how to create a happier life together.EPISODE NOTES: Is Your Dog OCD… or Just Bored?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/animal-party-dog-cat-news-animal-facts--6666735/support.

This week we are joined by Bad Religion bassist Jay Bentley who shares with us his uniquely named dog Salad, a 5 year old Black Lab, Border Collie mix. If you follow Jay on Instagram you're familiar with the Tao of Salad which are sage-like musings between the dog and one of Jay's two kids. You'll also see how incredibly gentle Salad was around his youngest child Dragon when he was an infant. We touch upon all this and more in a very entertaining conversation.Bed Religion will be spending the end of April and early May playing gigs in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Mexico.

The Poodle has a reputation problem — not because of what it does, but because of what we decided it looked like. For most people, the word triggers pom-poms, bows, and a dog that rides in a handbag. That image took root in the French aristocracy of the 18th century and never fully left, even as the dog underneath it remained one of the most capable working breeds ever produced.Its name comes from the German Pudelhund — splashing dog. It was a cold-water retriever built for the marshes of Central Europe, diving into freezing rivers to retrieve waterfowl. The iconic Continental Clip was originally field engineering: shaved hindquarters to reduce drag, fur left over joints and organs to protect against hypothermia. Function disguised by centuries of fashion.In 1994, Stanley Coren ranked 138 dog breeds by working and obedience intelligence. The Border Collie placed first. The Poodle placed second. It learns new commands in fewer than five repetitions and obeys known commands at a 95 percent or better rate.That same intelligence is the source of its most common behavioral problems. A Poodle in an under-stimulating environment doesn't get bored — it gets anxious. It reads the emotional state of every person in the room, amplifies what it finds, and fills any vacuum of structure with behavior the owner didn't ask for.This episode also covers the Poodle's hidden role in the designer breed industry — how the genetics that everyone wants in a Goldendoodle or Labradoodle came from a breed people still dismiss as too fancy — and what it actually takes to give a Poodle the life it needs in a Manila condo, a Batangas heat wave, and a household run by a yaya who may not know what she's looking at.

This week on Animal Party, host Deborah Wolfe welcomes renowned dog expert and psychologist Dr. Stanley Coren for a fascinating deep dive into how pets think, learn, and behave—especially as they age. From quirky kitten behaviors like nighttime suckling and early separation issues, to the evolving personality of senior dogs, this episode explores the powerful roles of socialization, breed traits, and sensory changes. Dr. Coren breaks down why older dogs can become more fearful, how vision loss affects confidence, and why Border Collies may grow more anxious over time. Plus, practical advice on managing behavioral challenges—from leash techniques and training tools to choosing the right pet for your lifestyle. It's an insightful and eye-opening conversation every pet parent won't want to miss.EPISODE NOTES: Inside Your Pet's Mind: Dr. Stanley Coren Explains It AllBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/animal-party-dog-cat-news-animal-facts--6666735/support.

Neil and co-host Kyle Johnson interview Tucker Hatch, a young cowboy and friend of Kyle's, about his background, mindset, and experience in big country. Tucker recounts first meeting Kyle in Nevada and discusses overcoming nerves by being proud of who he is and willing to approach strangers. The conversation focuses heavily on working cow dogs—Border Collies and Kelpies—contrasting practical ranch dogs with trial dogs, and explaining how dogs extend a crew's effectiveness when gathering and trailing cattle. Tucker describes leading a crew at age 22 on the 450,000-acre, unfenced Arapaho Ranch, dealing with extremely wild, feral cattle and dangerous bulls, sorting and shipping slick bulls and old steers, and the challenges of management from the office. He explains how cattle are "trained" through regular handling and trailing, then shares his approach to making money riding outside horses while saving, staying debt-free, and aiming to eventually own land.   Topics 01:45 Meeting Kyle First Time 03:29 Making Friends Fast 05:42 Kelpie Power Talk 08:45 Favorite Dogs And Tools 12:08 Dogs On The Job 16:31 Using Dogs With Crews 19:34 Cowboy As Storyteller 22:19 Cow Boss At 22 23:49 Wild Arapaho Ranch 31:46 Culling Feral Bulls 34:45 Training Cattle Year Round 39:52 Better Handling Cattle 41:25 Range Roping Wreck Story 46:48 Horsemanship Life Focus 48:00 Making Money Riding 48:42 Saving and Self Reliance 52:32 Work Ethic and Growth 54:21 Animals Over Drama 56:40 Stay Green Stay Humble 01:00:24 Family Roots and Mom 01:06:50 Five Year Cowboy Plan 01:11:31 Favorite Horse Loss 01:14:46 Getting Horses to Tucker 01:16:56 Closing Reflections

Episode: 2570 Celebrating Human Ingenuity.  Today, a story in two parts.

Border Collies are often described as “high-energy dogs”, but in reality their behaviour is usually shaped by something much deeper: whether their core needs are being met.In this episode, I talk about the five needs that I believe are essential for Border Collies to feel balanced and fulfilled. These include their need to use their brain, their need to run and move freely, their need to properly switch off and rest, their need for social connection, and their need for routine and predictability.When one of these needs is missing, behaviour often starts to wobble. What many people interpret as “too much energy” is often simply an unmet need.In this episode, I break down each of these five areas and explain why understanding them can completely change the way you look at your dog's behaviour and daily life.If you live with a Border Collie, this episode will help you better understand what your dog may actually be missing.Join My New Class Here:https://thatlldoacademy.newzenler.com/courses/training-skills-for-busy-brainsJoin the Collie Club with Crufts Discount:https://thatlldoacademy.newzenler.com/courses/the-collie-club?coupon=CruftsCollieDiscountLearn More About The Collie Club:https://thatlldoacademy.com/online-academy/To follow me on social media:Facebook : ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/ThatllDoAcademy/⁠⁠Instagram : ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/martina_bordercollie_geek/

With Crufts just three days away, we're so excited to be chatting to Naturaw's Founder, Jess Warneken, on the company's sponsorship of the Flyball team, Junkyard Dogs. Competing at this year's most prestigious global canine event, we're also joined by the team captain, Cheryl Quinn, who discusses why the pressure is on! She explains the training involved - and that's not just for the dogs - and why it's such a community driven sport and highly competitive. Teaching the dogs to remain focused, takes time and commitment with weekly training sessions.  Cheryl believes any dog can enjoy Flyball, but at a high competition level, the dogs are chosen for their commitment to their team spirit, and for their individual skills. Some have more speed to gain time, whilst others have others combine speed with accuracy that's needed to prevent any faults. Every Flyball team must incorporate at least one pure bred dog , which in Junkyard's case is a Border Collie, others can be any cross breed, with Lurchers being firm favourites.Naturaw is thrilled to support Junkyard Dogs! As the sport requires dogs to be in peak condition to win with speed and precision, the  team is fed Naturaw for this reason. Helping to fuel them for optimum health from the inside out.No matter what,  it's about having fun, the dogs have been acclimatised to the atmosphere , the roar of the crowds and the many distractions - sights , sounds and smells  that can overwhelm many dogs. As always everyone at Crufts no mater what takes their best dog home!Follow Junkyard Dogs on Instagram @jydflyballGet 20% off your first purchase by using the promo code AnnaWebb20 when you check out at Naturaw.co.ukThis episode is powered by Antinol.

Neil interviews Darin Deaton, a physical therapist, entrepreneur, and rancher. Darin shares his shift from pre-med toward PT after observing an independent practice owner's lifestyle, his education at Texas Woman's University, and juggling full-time work with graduate school. He describes learning business through an early partnership, then launching his own clinic using SBA financing and a $60,000 investor check that enabled a 1998 seven-figure exit. Darin later built and sold a seven-location Fort Worth PT group (sold in 2024) and runs DPT Therapy. They discuss Deaton Ranch Beef, regenerative ranching, raising Achi/Red Wagyu over Angus, local food systems, health pillars, aging and muscle loss, faith, integrity, and "Make America Grit Again."

My wife Joy is a creature of habit. She has a rule. After Thanksgiving, nobody goes to a restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner until every single piece of Thanksgiving food is gone. Magically, it always lasts right through Sunday evening. One year we went to someone else's house for Thanksgiving. Joy brought leftovers home. The next day she went to the store, came back, and started cooking. I'm thinking you've been cooking for days. You brought leftovers home. What are you cooking? She said she's cooking leftovers. She purchased a small turkey and all the ingredients to keep her routine for the weekend. Featured Story I wanted a dog that looked good in my Jeep. Got an Australian Shepherd named Levi because Border Collies are crazy and Aussies are just stubborn. Turns out I should've gotten the crazy dog because the stubborn one is exactly like his dad. I made rookie mistakes training Levi. One day my trainer said something that changed everything. For a dog, one time means all the time. Every time you let them do something new, they're just going to keep doing it. That applies to more than dogs. Joi schedules everything. I literally schedule a spontaneous Saturday date for her. I tell my wife to put in her predictable routine that we're going to be spontaneous on Saturday so she's okay with it. Don't surprise her. A couple years ago we went elsewhere for Thanksgiving and Joy had a real problem. She has a routine. When a certain time of year comes, she gets the recipes out and does the thing. Now she's not doing the thing. The look on her face when I figured out what she was doing. Cheating leftovers. She was lying to me about leftovers. Important Points For a dog, one time means all the time, and that principle applies to building habits and routines in your own life too. What makes you happy might seem crazy to someone else, but if it brings you joy, just do what you do. Respecting other people's routines and quirks is easier when you understand they need those patterns to be happy. Memorable Quotes "For a dog, one time means all the time. Every time you let him do something new, they're just going to keep doing it." "I literally schedule a spontaneous Saturday date for her. She has to know we're going to be spontaneous on Saturday." "Do leftovers make you happy? What makes you happy? Do what you do. Just do what you do." Scott's Three-Step Approach Understand that consistency creates happiness for some people, even if their routines seem excessive to you. Figure out what actually makes you happy and build those patterns into your life without apology. If you're married to someone with strong routines, just go with it and maybe hide half the Thanksgiving food so everyone gets leftovers.
