In Part 2 of this two-part episode, host Brien Gearin continues his conversation with Ryan Wimpey about scaling Tip Top K9 and using AI, automation, and virtual assistants without losing sight of the numbers that actually matter. Ryan explains why he still prefers humans for emotionally driven sales calls, where AI agents could soon make sense, and how his custom software will help automate everything from scheduling to commission and sales reports. He also pulls back the curtain on the Tip Top K9 franchise model, including its $48,000 franchise fee, six-week training program, and average annual revenue of more than $600,000 for locations open a full year. Plus, Ryan shares one of his biggest lessons for new entrepreneurs: set clear expectations, coach your people to meet them, hold them accountable, and don't be afraid to make the hard personnel decisions when they don't! What we discuss with Ryan: + AI agents for customer calls + Automating repetitive franchise tasks + Building a custom CRM + Focusing on profit-driving metrics + Holding teams accountable + Tip Top K9's franchise model + $600K+ average unit revenue + Starting without dog training experience + Franchise vs. starting from scratch + Hiring and managing employees Thank you, Ryan!

Send us Fan MailIn this Q&A episode of Think Like a Dog Podcast, Andreia and Millie answer listener questions about some of the most common, and frustrating, challenges dog owners face.They break down what to do when leash corrections actually make reactivity worse, how excitement and rough play with other dogs can contribute to frustration on walks, and why teaching your dog to calmly exist around things they want can be such an important skill.They also discuss how to make moving to a new home easier for your dog, the safest position and training approach when running with your dog, and how pressure and release can create clearer communication on leash.Then, Andreia and Millie take a deeper look at crate and separation anxiety, including why the problem isn't always about the crate itself. Using real foster dogs Jeter and Rusty as examples, they explain how attachment, freedom outside the crate, daily routines, consistency, and following through with boundaries can all affect a dog's ability to settle.Finally, they answer an important question: Is it ever too late to change your relationship with your dog? Whether your dog is one year old or nine, structure, place work, crate training, and structured walks aren't simply "training exercises", they're part of creating a clearer, calmer way to live together.Topics include:Leash reactivity and fixation on other dogsWhen prong collar corrections increase activationPressure and release on the leashTeaching neutrality around dogs and exciting environmentsMoving to a new home with your dogRunning safely with your dogHarnesses, slip leads, and e-collar communicationCrate anxiety vs. separation and attachment issuesBuilding independence through place and crate workThe importance of consistencyTraining and introducing structure to older dogsWhy dog training is ultimately a lifestyle, not a list of commandsSupport the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9@OzzieAlbiesFoundationWork with Mirror Image K9 here:  https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest:https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.comLearn More About The Best Chance Program:https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

Dog training motivation is not simply about how quickly a dog performs or how intensely they pursue a reward. Does your dog genuinely enjoy training, or have they simply learned to chase the food, ball or tug at the end of it? The difference matters. When the reward is the only valuable part, performance can become dependent on what the dog can see, while the training itself holds very little value. In Episode 372 of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn Cooke and Pat Stuart explore dog training motivation, what actually matters to the individual dog, and how handlers can build training that dogs actively choose to participate in. What Actually Matters to Your Dog? Owners can easily assume they know what their dog values. Some dogs are strongly motivated by food, while others place greater value on play, movement, social interaction, environmental access, relief from pressure or the opportunity to perform the work itself. Understanding dog training motivation requires us to observe the individual dog rather than decide what should motivate them. A reward is only reinforcing if it genuinely increases or strengthens the behaviour that preceded it. Creating Dog Training Motivation That Lasts Creating value in the game means allowing the handler, cues, equipment and opportunity to work to predict worthwhile outcomes. Sessions should be clear, rewarding and short enough to preserve the dog's enthusiasm. Visible lures should gradually disappear. Reward placement and timing should support the next repetition, while difficulty should increase without producing constant failure. The aim is a dog that engages before seeing the payment, persists when challenged and recovers comfortably from mistakes. For sporting and working dogs, intensity alone is not enough. Strong motivation also includes clarity, connection and the ability to settle after the work finishes. Fair pressure and well-timed correction can exist within balanced training, but they cannot compensate for confusing criteria or a game the dog was never taught to value. Key Takeaways Motivation is individual and can change with the situation. Reinforcement is defined by its effect on behaviour, not the handler's intention. A visible reward can support learning, but it should not become the dog's only reason to perform. Genuine engagement includes enthusiasm, clarity, resilience and connection with the handler. The goal is to create a dog that chooses the training game, even before the payment appears. Frequently Asked Questions Does using food mean my dog only works for food? No. Food can help establish a strong reinforcement history. The aim is to prevent the dog from becoming dependent on seeing the food before performing. How can I tell whether my dog enjoys training? Look for voluntary engagement, anticipation, resilience after mistakes and a willingness to participate when the reward is not visible. Can corrections reduce a dog's motivation? Poorly timed, confusing or excessive corrections can create conflict. Fair and understandable communication should clarify the task without overwhelming the value already built into the activity.

Hey Dog Lover

What if the path from drug dealing to military service to training over 6,000 dogs worldwide could teach you the one thing most dog owners get completely wrong? Ryan Matthews, former US Army combat canine handler and founder of World of Dog Training, reveals why your frustrated relationship with your dog isn't really about your dog at all. After surviving combat PTSD, cancer, and life-threatening injuries, Ryan discovered that the same leadership principles that kept him alive overseas are exactly what creates the calm, confident dogs every owner dreams of having. His anti-dog training approach flips traditional methods upside down, focusing on energy, mindset, and the uncomfortable truth about why dogs manipulate their humans.Ryan breaks down the two types of dogs every owner needs to recognize, why reward-based training often backfires, and his revolutionary pause method that transforms behavior in minutes instead of months. From his military working dog Rex to his current telepathic communication with Zeus, you'll discover how understanding your dog's energy and body language creates a relationship deeper than most people have with other humans. Whether you're struggling with a rescue dog's trauma or simply want to stop being outsmarted by your family pet, this conversation will shift how you see leadership, communication, and the incredible intelligence of the animals sharing our lives.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

What to listen for:“The certification isn't about proving that the dog can find a leak. It's about giving utilities confidence that the professional team can perform consistently, safely, ethically, and competently.”Lolita Shaffer joins our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, in this two-part conversation to talk all things water leak detection!It's a growing niche in the dog training world, but a pretty important one. After all, America's water utilities maintain 2.2 million miles of drinking-water pipe, enough to circle the globe 88 times, and industry estimates put coming rate hikes sharply higher as aging, "non-revenue" leaks go unfound.Acoustic listening equipment, the current industry standard, can hear a hissing pipe but also every earthworm, bug, and passing car, leaving handlers to triangulate blind. Dogs, calibrated on-site to a utility's own water before every job, can generalize across leaks ranging from a quarter-gallon a minute to tens of thousands, including one Florida job under an interstate that was gushing 70,000 gallons a minute.Lolita traces her own path into the work back to hunting-dog trials and a sister already doing human remains detection. It's a lineage that Robin, coming from cadaver-dog work herself, recognizes immediately in how hydrology carries odor whether the "victim" is a body or a busted water main.Lolita has worked with Water Professionals International to build credentialing that treats handler-and-dog teams the way plumbers or engineers are licensed, and is portable across state lines. She has a five-year goal of turning "detection dog" into a real, benefits-earning career.

Send us Fan MailWe're back with Part 2 of Common Dog Training Misconceptions Explained.In this episode of Think Like a Dog Extended, the team breaks down even more of the most common things they hear from dog owners, and the psychology behind why these beliefs can sometimes get in the way of progress.We talk about why not every dog is meant to be a service or therapy dog, how breed genetics and individual personality should shape your expectations, and why your dog doesn't necessarily need to love every person or dog they meet.We also get into separation anxiety, crate training, enrichment toys, muzzle stigma, why having a big backyard doesn't replace walking your dog, leash reactivity vs. dog park behavior, assumptions about a rescue dog's past, and the problem with jumping from one TikTok dog-training method to another.The biggest takeaway: stop trying to fit your dog into the dog you imagined and start training the dog in front of you.No judgment, just honest conversations, common patterns we see every day, and practical advice to help owners better understand their dogs.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9@OzzieAlbiesFoundationWork with Mirror Image K9 here:  https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest:https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.comLearn More About The Best Chance Program:https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

Have you heard there is a bounty for wolf hunters who are legally hunting wolves? That's right, an actual bounty has been offered by animal welfare advocates and is being widely supported by delusional animal rights advocates for the hunting of a specific displaced wolf pack in Wyoming. This one is taking animal worship to a whole new level and it is time for it to stop. Chris breaks down the whole story in the first half of this podcast. The second part of the podcast Chris breaks down how to train your dog to recall like a champ.

Waiting for the puppy to tell you they need to go outside is a mistake that can cause more accidents than almost anything else. New puppy owners often expect their puppy to bark at the door, scratch the door. whine, pace around, or sit and stare at them.Here is a scientific method that I learned from a vet a few years ago. It sets the puppy up for success by allowing them only a small amount of water at a time, and then taking them outside to go potty shortly afterward. Step 1: Give your puppy one ounce of water per lb of body weight per day. You will need a measuring cup to ensure they get the exact amount of water per day.Step 2: Divide the total amount of water into 4 or 5 servings.Step 3: Give your puppy one of those servings of water.Step 4: Take your puppy out to go potty 3 times within one hour after that serving of water.ExampleYour puppy weighs 8 lbs. They need 8 ounces of water per day. Give them a 2-ounce serving of water at 8 am, 11 am, 2 pm, and 5 pm.Take them out to pee every 20 minutes after drinking the serving of water: 8:20 am, 8:40 am, and 9:00 am.Repeat this schedule after each additional serving of water. They will get 16 potty breaks per day.References:AVSAB: Housetraining Tips: https://avsab.org/housetraining-tips/AKC: Potty Training Timeline and Tips: https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/training/puppy-potty-training-timeline/PetMd: How to Potty Train a Puppy: https://www.petmd.com/dog/general-health/how-to-potty-train-a-puppy?VCA: House Training for Puppies and Dogs: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/house-training-your-puppy?ASPCA: House Training Your Dog or Puppy: https://www.aspca.org/news/house-training-your-dog-or-puppy?If you need help housebreaking your new puppy, visit pottytrainingyourpuppy.com for FREE resources.

 Leaving the military or law enforcement can be one of the biggest transitions of a person's life. After years of serving others, many veterans and first responders find themselves asking the same question: What's next? In this episode of Police K9 Radio, we sit down with four people who have lived that transition. ● Aaron Taylor – Founder and Owner of Ridgeside K9 ● Jay Nix – Owner of Ridgeside K9 Central Florida ● Eric Stanbro – Executive Board Member of Ridgeside K9 and founder of Ridgeside K9 Ohio ● Rich Hartman – Owner of Ridgeside K9 NorCal and Police K9 Radio Co-Host Together, we discuss the journey from military and law enforcement careers into professional dog training and business ownership. We share the challenges of leaving careers built on service, finding a new purpose, and creating successful businesses while continuing to serve our communities through dogs. Aaron Taylor explains his vision for Ridgeside K9 and why he has made it his mission to provide veterans and law enforcement professionals with a path to entrepreneurship. Instead of simply offering jobs, Aaron believes in helping people build businesses they can truly own while continuing to make a positive impact on families, communities, and working dogs. Whether you're nearing retirement, considering a career change, or simply interested in the business side of professional dog training, this conversation offers valuable insight into what's possible after service.

Send us Fan MailMillie is joined by Mirror Image K9 trainers Connor, Brandon, and Jill to discuss some of the most common phrases dog trainers hear from owners—and what those statements may reveal about a dog's behavior and relationship with its family.The trainers break down the difference between a dog being well-behaved and truly well-trained, why obedience commands alone do not resolve reactivity, and why behaviors often described as “protective” may actually come from insecurity, stress, or resource guarding.They also explain why structure and boundaries inside the home directly affect leash behavior, separation anxiety, confidence, and a dog's ability to follow direction during stressful situations. The episode concludes with an in-depth conversation about crate training, why some dogs resist the crate, and how consistent crate use can help dogs learn to relax and self-soothe.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9@OzzieAlbiesFoundationWork with Mirror Image K9 here:  https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest:https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.comLearn More About The Best Chance Program:https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

Today we discuss how to integrate your dog into family functions, why people struggle to understand how to use rewards and punishments, and why absolute statements in the dog world are destroying our industry.

Everyone tells you your business is different too. Your market, your model, your members, your suburb. If that story is the reason you haven't fixed your intro offer or built your rollover process, grab the free Vision Book Template that Nath used to rebuild his business: https://bit.ly/p-vision-book-template And if you want to see exactly how this playbook maps onto your studio, book a discovery call here: https://bit.ly/p-your-studio-check-up Follow Geronimo Unfiltered: Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube Instagram A dog training business joined a gym growth academy and doubled to 100k months in six months. This is the episode that kills the "my business is different" excuse for good. Every week someone tells me their market is unique, their clients are special, and the model wouldn't work for them. Then Nath called my sales team, said "I'm not your avatar, but I want in," and joined a coaching program built for gym owners with a dog training business. My first reaction was to ring my sales team and ask what the hell they were doing. Six months later he's doubled the business on the exact playbook we teach studio owners, with nothing watered down or adapted for dogs. What almost stopped him had nothing to do with the industry, and everything to do with what he was refusing to let go of. That part of the story is the reason to listen to the whole thing. In this episode you'll hear: The exact model: a four week Calm Dog Kickstart, a 70% rollover rate, and a $148 a week membership (yes, for dogs) The moment he rang his coach to quit at 75k months, and the answer that turned it into 56% growth in two months The identity shift from doing the work to owning the business, and what was actually underneath the refusal to let go The 70% rule in action: he launched his vision book, lost four of his twelve staff in a week, and kept going anyway Why "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" is a lie, in dogs and in business owners (including a live fix for Doza's whinging Labradoodle) If this one hit, binge this next: STOP Playing Small. It's the other half of this story, because Nath's real unlock wasn't the kickstart or the rollover process, it was refusing to stay at the level everyone said was already good. Nath came in at 50k months running a dog training business, and the same frameworks took him past 100k with a mission to save 10,000 dogs. If he can do that in an industry we'd never coached before, imagine what the playbook does inside an actual studio.

In this episode I explain why I hesitated to accept virtual training and how I changed my views on it.

What exactly is "balanced" dog training, and what does that term really mean?In Part 1 of this series, I take a closer look at balanced training, punishment, and the potential impact aversive training methods can have on the relationship between you and your dog. We discuss how trust can be affected when punishment is used, why this can create liability and safety concerns, and why it's important to understand the long-term effects of the training methods you choose.I also share my personal experience using a shock collar on one of my own dogs many years ago, what I learned from that experience, and why my approach to training changed. We talk about why punishment is often not the most effective way to teach behavior and I reference research that has shaped modern, reward-based training.This is just the beginning. There is far too much information to cover in a single episode, so this is Part 1 of a series exploring the science, ethics, and practical realities of balanced training.Whether you're a new puppy owner or have shared your life with dogs for years, this episode will help you make more informed decisions about the methods you choose and the relationship you want to build with your dog.#DogTraining #shockcollar #BalanceTraining #Dog #DogGonePositive

She shares practical strategies for using marker training, building reinforcement history, and setting your dog up for success in every training session.

What makes a truly great dog trainer?In this episode, Chris sits down with legendary retriever trainer Andy Attar for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with Andy's journey alongside Pat Burns and Mike Lardy and evolves into a masterclass on dog training philosophy.Andy shares stories from the early days of retriever training, explains why Mike Lardy produced so many successful trainers, and discusses the importance of developing thinking dogs rather than simply teaching techniques. The conversation dives deep into one of the most challenging topics in retriever training: handling gray areas on marks, knowing when to intervene, and how to build a self-responsible dog.Along the way, Andy explores the role of pressure, trust, timing, marking development, field trials, and what it really means to become a student of the game. Whether you're running hunt tests, field trials, or simply trying to become a better trainer, this episode is packed with decades of wisdom from one of the sport's most respected minds.

Dr. Amy Cook and Josefin Linderström, founders of the Social Approach, join me for a deep dive on the topic of touch and our relationships with our dogs. In this episode they share some of the research that's been done on the benefits of touch, their take on how much of our dogs' preferences are nurture vs. nature, and how they'd add touch to training (including as a reinforcer!).
