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.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the show that explores how music can lift us out of the valleys of depression and anxiety and into brighter emotional terrain. In today's episode, host James sits down with pianist, composer, educator, and prolific writer Kurt Ellenberger for a deep‑dive into the world of jazz, its pedagogy, and its power to heal.We'll hear Kurt recount his path from a performing career in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to a long‑standing faculty role at Grand Valley State University where he teaches everything from “Jazz in the Culture” to a beloved interdisciplinary course, “Music, Culture, and Aesthetics.” He shares practical advice for newcomers who feel intimidated by jazz—starting with the universally‑accessible Miles Davis classic Kind of Blue—and explains why jazz demands full, focused listening in the way classical music does, unlike the background‑friendly nature of pop or country.Kurt also opens up about his parallel life as a writer and managing editor of the Journal of the International Association of Jazz Educators. From a blog that caught the eye of the Huffington Post to a series of essays that demystify everything from why Christmas music feels “jazzy” to the emotional weight of minor chords, his mission is simple: turn scholarly insight into stories anyone can enjoy.We'll explore how jazz varies across continents, why European and Australian approaches sound distinct yet remain unmistakably jazz, and why the genre is less a fixed style and more an improvisational mindset. Kurt even reveals a surprising non‑musical talent—his knack for home‑repair and hammer‑work—that keeps him grounded when the academic world gets heavy.Finally, we close with Kurt's personal “Rushmore” of musical heroes—Genesis, pianist John Taylor, composer Paul Hindemith, and David Bowie—plus a secret, deeply moving piece that leaves him speechless every time he hears it.If you've ever wondered how to get into jazz, why it's sometimes dismissed as “wrong notes,” or simply want a heartfelt conversation about music's therapeutic power, you're in the right place. Grab your headphones, set aside the background noise, and let's tune into the conversation that proves—once again—when words fail, music truly speaks.

In this episode, we dive into the powerful world of investigative interviewing and business communication with expert Dave Thompson. We uncover the most common myths and misconceptions that derail conversations and reveal proven strategies for building genuine rapport, gathering reliable information, and driving better outcomes.

In this candid podcast, Bureau Veritas Marine and Offshore's cyber security technical leader Panagiotis Anastasiou outlines his concerns about what he views as shipping's limited approach to cyber security and a need for increased awareness of its importance. His career-long knowledge and experience of cyber security arrangements in the aerospace sector — particularly with satellite technology — gives him an authoritative overview of cyber security and, for an industry that has autonomous vessels in development, he had expected to find shipping to be very advanced in its cyber security implementation and attitudes. Instead, he found that was not the case. His remarks include an example of a recent incident in which a service provider's systems were compromised, affecting at least 120 ships. The breach was subsequently repaired but the full story prompts Anastasiou to observe that “we fall in the same hole again and again”. He says this is because of limited efforts to prepare for cyber security difficulties. In contrast to shipping's approach, cyber security is the starting point when satellite systems are designed, he says. Controls, procedures and governance are built on that foundation, with ground infrastructure and component design following on. This approach should be common to all industries, including marine, he says. He acknowledges that maritime regulations now apply to cyber security which make it mandatory to take precautions, but he believes that shipowners and their system suppliers should go further. Attitudes must change So, he explains in the podcast that attitudes must change and he outlines some ideas about how cyber security awareness could be strengthened by better – and repeated – education and cyber drills that are backed up by companies' tested policies on how to respond to cyber security incidents. He goes on to describe how a cyber attack on a vessel might be triggered by an attack on shoreside systems, given the growing connectivity between ship and shore and vice versa. Not only that, but the implications of a maritime cyber attack can extend far beyond the company itself, since any resulting operational delay could have an impact on an entire supply chain. Class societies have addressed cyber security concerns by developing two Unified Requirements — UR 26 and UR 27 — and Anastasiou was a member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) Cyber Systems Panel that developed them. But he suggests in the podcast that these should be viewed as starting points for class societies to evolve requirements to match the pace of change in technology. As a response to his remarks, he encourages listeners to conduct internal assessments of their own cyber security and to reach out to their class societies for guidance to improve their resilience.

Years down the line, trapped in an abusive marriage and facing back surgery, she flatlined on an X-ray table and found herself pressed against the ceiling, watching her own code blue unfold below. Beside her was a presence she knew as God, replaying scenes from her life and asking what she would do if she returned and nothing on the ground had changed. The decision she made there not only transformed her future, but also led her to spend years helping others see death—and their own lives—in a completely different light.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been the focus of significant attention over the past several days as she navigates ongoing health challenges while maintaining her characteristic spirit and gratitude. The 79-year-old country music icon shared a heartfelt Thanksgiving message with fans on November 28th, appearing in a video where she wished everyone blessings for the holiday and expressed her deep appreciation for their support over the years. She looked radiant in a beige jacket with her signature blonde curls and warm smile intact, telling fans she would always love them.This Thanksgiving appearance marked a notable moment given Parton's recent health struggles. Earlier in November, she was forced to skip several major public events, including the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award ceremony at the Governors Awards on November 16th and the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Hall of Fame induction on November 17th, both of which she accepted virtually. She explained in pre-recorded messages that her doctors advised her to take it easy for a while as she deals with health challenges.According to reports, Parton has been dealing with kidney stones and other unspecified health issues, which prompted her to postpone her Las Vegas residency that was originally scheduled for October. The residency is now rescheduled for September 17 through 26, 2026. Her sister Freida's public prayer request for the singer sparked some concern among fans, though Freida later clarified she didn't intend to alarm anyone. Parton herself addressed the situation, explaining that following her husband Carl Dean's death in March after nearly 60 years of marriage, she hadn't taken proper care of herself and neglected medical attention that needed addressing.Despite these challenges, Parton remains optimistic about her future. In a recent interview with People magazine, she emphasized that she's still getting started with her career aspirations, dismissing retirement talk by stating she won't allow herself to get old and has no time to dwell on age. She reiterated that unless her health significantly deteriorates—which she says isn't currently the case—she intends to keep working and pursuing her dreams. Her message across all recent communications has been consistent: she's handling her health seriously, appreciating fan support, and remaining focused on her passion for music and entertainment as she approaches her 80th birthday.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has once again proven why she remains a singular force in country music, business, and American culture, with a flurry of significant activities and developments in just the past few days. On November 21, Dolly launched a fresh national tour for her stage musical Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol. This adaptation of Dickens' classic, set in Depression-era Appalachia and infused with original music and Appalachian melodies, is slated to visit more than 20 cities through the holiday season. Critics and cast members alike are praising the show's emotional warmth and Parton's unique songwriting, describing it as a new American classic destined to become a holiday tradition, according to DollyParton.com and regional theaters including the Carson Center and the Baker Center for the Arts.Parallel to the tour, Dolly unveiled her innovative Threads My Songs in Symphony experience, with performances in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 21 and 22. This multimedia orchestral event features Dolly onscreen, leading audiences through orchestrated versions of her most iconic hits plus previews from her upcoming Broadway musical. Dolly explains that Threads is about weaving the story of her life through her music, engaging fans in an immersive, biographical celebration through new sonic arrangements, as shared in details from the North Carolina Symphony and Visit Raleigh.In business news, excitement continues to swirl around the announcement that Dolly Parton's Tennessean Travel Stops will be rebranded, with a major flagship in Cornersville, Tennessee launching in Summer 2026. This collaboration seeks to redefine highway travel experiences across the South, creating new jobs and expanding the reach of Dolly's homegrown brand, as highlighted on her official website.On the music front, Dolly created holiday buzz with the release of a special limited-edition picture disc vinyl for A Holly Dolly Christmas, celebrating the album's 5th anniversary. Only 2,000 copies were pressed, making it a quick sell-out and a highly coveted item among collectors. Dolly promoted this release personally to her 8.2 million Instagram followers, sparking enthusiastic responses and holiday playlist debates, according to a November 21 feature from Parade.However, recent headlines have also focused on Dolly's health. Owing to what she called unspecified “health challenges,” Dolly has canceled several major appearances, including her in-person attendance at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Hall of Fame induction on November 17 and the 2025 Governors Awards where she was to receive an honorary Oscar. In a heartfelt message posted to Dollywood's official channels and covered by outlets such as Parade and The Today Show, Dolly reassured fans that her doctors advised rest and she remains grateful for the recognition and support, albeit from afar.Social media this week overflowed with fans sending well wishes and celebrating Dolly's continued resilience and creativity, even speculating about whether these recent health setbacks could signal a semi-retirement—a claim unconfirmed by any direct statement from Dolly or her team.Dolly Parton's presence this week underscores her lasting cultural significance, with creative, commercial, and personal headlines reflecting a woman still at the heart of music, storytelling, and Southern enterprise—even when she has to step back for her health.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

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.

Podcast link: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/nsOssJwekYbIn this account of the history between Indigenous Peoples and the United States government, readers will learn the role of the bible played in the perpetration of genocide, massive land theft, and the religious suppression and criminalization of Native ceremonies and spirituality. Chris Mato Nunpa, a Dakota man, discusses this dishonorable and darker side of American history that is rarely studied, if at all. Out of a number of rationales used to justify the killing of Native Peoples and theft their lands, the author will discuss a biblical rationale, including the “chosen people” idea, the “promised land” notion, and the genocidal commands of the Old Testament God. Mato Nunpa's experience with fundamentalist and evangelical missionaries when he was growing up, his studies in Indigenous Nations history at the University of Minnesota, and his affiliation with the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) were three important factors in his motivation for writing this book.Hashtags: #nativeamerican #indigenous #native #nativepride #nativeamericans #nativeamericanart #firstnations #nativeamericanhistory #nativeamericanculture #nativeamericanjewelry #natives #nativeart #nativeamericanstyle #nativeamericanwisdom #navajo #nativebeauty #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeamericanpride #art #nativewomen #nativemade #americanindian #indigenouspeople #nativeinstruments #indigenouspride #indigenousart #nativeculture #indigenouswomen #love #indigenousamerican

Sheryl developed a deep interest in the UFO phenomenon, catalysed by her father-in-law who attended a UFO meeting in Brisbane in the 1960s, where the famous alien contactee, George Adamski, was guest speaker.  In 1988 she joined UFO Research Queensland, and three years later was asked to take on the role of President. In 1992 Sheryl and her late husband, Dr Martin Gottschall, established the first close encounter support group in Brisbane, facilitating 3 support group in total during the 1990s.On a parallel path Sheryl also has a life-long interest in the paranormal which began in her teenage years, but in 1980 she began seriously studying the phenomenon of Near Death Experiences (NDEs). Soon after she joined the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDs) and in 1995 hosted Dr Ken Ring for the Brisbane leg of his Australian tour where he presented research for his future book Mindsight: Near Death and Out Of Body Experiences In The Blind.Dr Rings book “The Omega Project: Near Death Experiences, UFO Encounters, and the Mind At Large” (1992) ignited Sheryl's interest in the connections between UFOs and NDEs which was also being reported in the lives of UFO witnesses she was interviewing. Some years later in 2012, she established the monthly Afterlife Discussions group, an associated IANDS chapter now known as Strange Encounters, where she continued to find links between UFOs and the afterlife in the stories experiencers shared.In 2021, Sheryl was invited to become the Australian representative for the International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research (ICER), the first truly global international UFO organisation which aims to prepare the public for alien contact.She speaks about the UFO phenomenon, the Afterlife and Strange Encounters at public meetings, podcasts, conferences, community groups, schools, libraries and has given hundreds of media interviews. Sheryl has written for many UFO and New Age magazines and in 2018 was a regular guest on the weekly Spooky Action radio show. In 2019 she co-hosted the weekly Strange Encounters radio show, then in 2022 she co-hosted the Strange Encounters podcast on you tube. She continues her role as president for UFO Research Queensland, receiving and documenting UFO reports from the public as well as hosting the monthly online member meetings.Sheryl has had many paranormal and UFO experiences herself including an NDE, OBEs, bi-location, automatic writing, UFO sightings and contact with “greys”. Recently retired, she previously offered clinical hypnotherapy for clients and taught a wide variety of workshops on esoteric subjects which enrich her understanding of UFO and paranormal phenomena.https://uforq.org/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Leadership Books vs. Authority Books: How to Know Which You Need (and When) Donna DahlPurpose of the ShowThis show exists to inspire transformation in both life and business. Through candid conversations with authors, leaders, and change-makers, we uncover the wisdom and practical tools you need to thrive.IntroductionWhat separates a leader from an authority? And what happens when your book becomes the bridge between the two?Today's guest, Donna Dahl, has spent the last two decades empowering executives, entrepreneurs, and high-impact professionals to do exactly that — to write, speak, and lead from a place of clarity, confidence, and authentic authority.Her coaching doesn't begin with buzzwords or quick wins. It begins with a question: Are you ready to dream more, do more, and become more?Donna is known for transforming leaders into authors and authors into leaders. Through her signature “Dream, Dare, Do” framework, she helps clients translate experience into influence and wisdom into written form. Whether she's guiding a CEO through a manuscript or mentoring a new entrepreneur through their first leadership challenge, her approach is both strategic and deeply human — focused on building confidence, clarity, and the kind of courage that lasts.In this conversation, we explore the crucial difference between leadership books — written to inspire, develop, and serve others — and authority books, written to define your niche, elevate your expertise, and build a platform that extends far beyond the page.Credibility + BackgroundDonna Dahl is an award-winning Master Empowerment Coach, speaker, and author of Lessons I Learned from the Tortoise, a book that has inspired thousands of readers and leaders around the world.Based in Calgary, Donna has spent more than 20 years coaching executives and entrepreneurs to find their authentic voice, build brands that last, and create businesses — and books — with heart and impact. She has been recognized as a Global Women Leader, a Woman of Inspiration, and a Manuscript Coaching Award recipient by the International Association of Top Professionals.Her 7-week program, Empowering the Leader Within You, has become a game-changer for clients who want to lead with integrity, communicate with precision, and step boldly into their influence.As the Selection Committee Chair for the Women of Inspiration Awards and a frequent keynote speaker, Donna combines the insight of a master coach with the empathy of a mentor who has walked alongside hundreds of leaders in the making. Her clients — including CEOs, coaches, and creative professionals — often credit her with helping them reach record-breaking sales, unlock new levels of self-belief, and write the kind of books that build movements.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Donna helps us untangle one of the most important strategic questions in thought leadership: Do you need a leadership book, or an authority book?A leadership book guides others through growth. It's written for teams, for emerging leaders, for those who want to serve and inspire. It builds trust, teaches frameworks, and multiplies your influence through empathy and service.An authority book, on the other hand, defines your space. It's the book that says: This is my domain. This is my message. This is the body of work I stand behind. It elevates your expertise, sharpens your brand, and becomes a cornerstone of your professional legacy.Donna shares the subtle — and powerful — distinctions between the two, offering examples from her own coaching experience of how executives, coaches, and entrepreneurs have used both types of books to accelerate credibility and expand their reach.We'll talk about:* How to discern which kind of book your business or career needs right now* Why writing too soon — or too broadly — can dilute your message* How to transform leadership experience into authority presence* Why clarity of purpose is the single greatest predictor of publishing success* And how the very act of writing can become an accelerator for personal and professional growthDonna's wisdom reaches beyond writing strategy. It's about the interior journey of leadership — the courage to define your message, the humility to refine it, and the discipline to deliver it in a form that endures.Whether you're a seasoned executive looking to scale your influence or an entrepreneur seeking to crystallize your expertise, this conversation will help you understand *which book belongs to this season of your calling* — and how to write it with confidence, clarity, and conviction.Call to ActionIf you're ready to stop waiting and start leading — whether through your business, your book, or both — connect with Donna Dahl [DonnaDahl.com](https://tidycal.com/askdonnadahl/30-minute-meeting) Lessons I Learned from the Tortoise — available on Amazon Book a “Consult for Clarity” or explore Empowering the Leader Within You Invite Donna to speak or train your leadership teamBecause leadership doesn't just happen — it's built, refined, and embodied.

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.

Researchers are documenting more and longer-lasting wildfires in northern Alaska and Canada. In fact, the increase of wildfires is a trend across the Arctic, as far as Norway and Siberia, driven by higher temperatures and dryer conditions. The trend has immediate threats to people's homes and health. Some tribes in Alaska and Canada also worry about the possibility of a long-term cataclysmic cycle of fires burning through vast stores of peat, producing uncountable amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. We'll get a look at the latest research and learn what concerned Alaska Native tribes and other Indigenous stakeholders are doing to prepare. GUESTS Edward Alexander (Gwich'in), co-chair for Gwich'in Council International and senior Arctic Lead Woodwell Climate Research Center Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson (Métis), senior fire advisor for the Indigenous Leadership Initiative and board member of the International Association of Wildland Fire Malinda Chase (Deg Hit'an), tribal liaison for the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center under the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the land manager for her village Anvik

In the news, the LOT Polish Airlines' fraud case against Boeing is set to go to a jury trial, the FAA approves a 737 MAX production increase, the IAM rejects Boeing's Latest Offer, controller staffing shortages are impacting operations, and engine shortages are affecting airlines and the leasing market Guest Brian Sumers Brian Sumers produces The Airline Observer newsletter dedicated to news and analysis about the global airline business. He covers every facet of the industry except operations. The newsletter targets professionals working in the airline and travel industries, but others with an interest in the industry will also find it valuable. Brian can also be found on The Airshow Podcast with Jon Ostrower and Brett Snyder. Brian explains the types of stories he enjoys reporting on, including the people behind the industry, who is up and who is down, loyalty programs, and revenue management. He's been covering airlines for some 15 years and tells us about the lack of airline policy and procedures clarity, and who understands their competition and who doesn't. We hear his thoughts about his recent interviews with Scott Kirby and Sir Tim Clark, some of the hot-button issues that airlines see ahead, and the future of LCCs in the U.S. Brian is a professional journalist with more than a decade of expertise covering airlines. He has written for Skift, Aviation Week, Conde Nast Traveler, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal.

Aviation News LOT Polish Airlines' Fraud Case Against Boeing Set to Go to Jury Trial LOT Polish Airlines' fraud and misrepresentation case against Boeing is proceeding to a jury trial scheduled for November 3, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. LOT alleges that Boeing rushed the 737 MAX to market, bypassed proper engineering protocols, withheld safety-critical details from regulators, and misled airline customers about the scope and safety of design changes from previous 737 models. The airline claims that these actions led to its belief that the 737 MAX was airworthy and economically advantageous. LOT claims at least $250 million in losses from the grounding, including lost revenue, storage costs, and expenses for replacing the unfit aircraft. After months of limits, FAA allows Boeing to increase MAX production The FAA has approved an increase in the production cap for Boeing's 737 MAX jets, allowing for the manufacture of 42 aircraft per month. This follows a review of Boeing's manufacturing processes and safety controls. The FAA will continue to supervise Boeing's operations and monitor the manufacturer's safety and quality culture. The rate increase helps Boeing's financial situation by accelerating cash flow, improving debt serviceability, and restoring investor confidence. Workers reject Boeing's latest offer after nearly three months on strike The roughly 3,200 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 837 at Boeing Defense in the St. Louis area rejected the company's latest contract proposal.

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.

In mid-September, the UN issued a report stating that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel vehemently denies the charge. Genocide is the crime of crimes. It is a highly charged and loaded word.  To verify it requires clear and unambiguous evidence. The term was coined by the Polish Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin. Genocide combines the Greek prefix “genos” (race, tribe) with the Latin suffix “cide” (killing). Lemkin was aware of the Armenian genocide carried out by the Turks earlier in the 20th century. During the Holocaust, he lost many family members. Lemkin and others were responsible for the Genocide Convention, which was passed unanimously by the UN in 1948. In addition to the recently released UN report, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, as well as two prominent Israeli rights organizations, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, declared that Israel's military actions in Gaza constitute genocide.

Kevin Werbach speaks with Caroline Louveaux, Chief Privacy, AI, and Data Responsibility Officer at Mastercard, about what it means to make trust mission critical in the age of artificial intelligence. Caroline shares how Mastercard built its AI governance program long before the current AI boom, grounding it in the company's Data and Technology Responsibility Principles". She explains how privacy-by-design practices evolved into a single global AI governance framework aligned with the EU AI Act, NIST AI Risk Management, and standards. The conversation explores how Mastercard balances innovation speed with risk management, automates low-risk assessments, and maintains executive oversight through its AI Governance Council. Caroline also discusses the company's work on agentic commerce, where autonomous AI agents can initiate payments, and why trust, certification, and transparency are essential for such systems to succeed. Caroline unpacks what it takes for a global organization to innovate responsibly — from cross-functional governance and "tone from the top," to partnerships like the Data & Trust Alliance and efforts to harmonize global standards. Caroline emphasizes that responsible AI is a shared responsibility and that companies that can "innovate fast, at scale, but also do so responsibly" will be the ones that thrive. Caroline Louveaux leads Mastercard's global privacy and data responsibility strategy. She has been instrumental in building Mastercard's AI governance framework and shaping global policy discussions on data and technology. She serves on the board of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the WEF Task Force on Data Intermediaries, the ENISA Working Group on AI Cybersecurity, and the IEEE AI Systems Risk and Impact Executive Committee, among other activities.

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.
