Editor’s note: Episode 58 contains absolutely no structured dog training content - just a rambling chat between Jacob and Kirky, and quite frankly, some extremely inappropriate games. If you’re here for practical advice or behaviour insights… skip this one.

But if you fancy a laugh, want to escape the seriousness of the world, or just enjoy a completely unfiltered chinwag between two unqualified philosophers - this might be for you.

Let this be a lesson for the boys to start preparing, as there is absolutely nothing of value in this episode. And quite frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Listen at your own discretion.

The boys dedicate this one to Uncle Glenn Cooke x

In this week’s episode, Jacob and Ian dive deep into what it really takes to become not just a great dog trainer-but a super human one. Whether you're working with clients professionally or training your own dog at home, the principles are the same. They explore the often-overlooked personal protocols that can prevent burnout, build resilience, and help you show up at your best - for your dog, your clients, and yourself.

From sleep and stress to self-discipline and structure, this episode blends human performance with canine behaviour in a way that will leave you rethinking how you train… and how you live.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started on your dog training journey, this is one of those episodes that might just change the way you approach it all.
