Most dog owners are accidentally reinforcing bad behaviour on every walk.

In this episode, Panos breaks down the biggest mistake - putting the walk on autopilot.

Pulling, scanning, and ignoring you all get rehearsed daily without realising.

Walks aren’t just exercise - they’re training.

Learn how small changes in structure and intention can completely change your dog’s behaviour.

Panos sits down with Dr Will Magness — veterinarian and founder of 5 Hounds dog food, to unpack some of the biggest (and often most misunderstood) topics affecting dogs today.

The conversation explores the three major factors influencing dog health, why Dr Will started 5 Hounds, and the common issues seen in kibble-only diets.

It also dives into proper feeding, the link between food and allergies, and the ongoing discussion around early desexing, including ideal timing and possible alternatives.

They examine whether dogs are being over-vaccinated, why yearly vaccinations are still commonly recommended, and what a titre test actually is and when it makes sense.

This is a balanced, practical conversation, not fear-based, not dogmatic — just honest discussion about diet, development, and long-term health.

For anyone serious about raising a healthy, resilient dog, this episode will get them thinking.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jas Whiting founder of Prime Canine to break down the real process of raising and developing high-drive Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd puppies destined for police, military, and corrections work.

Jas walks us through what it takes to raise multiple working-line puppies at the same time, laying strong foundations for tracking, bite work, environmental confidence, and complex operational behaviours. All with the goal of producing dogs suitable for working roles by around 18 months of age.

We talk honestly about the fun, frustration, stress, pressure, and fulfilment that comes with developmental training at this level, and how critical early decisions are in shaping whether a dog truly suits the role it’s being prepared for.

This episode is a must-listen for trainers, handlers, breeders, and anyone curious about what serious puppy raising looks like when the end goal isn’t a pet, but a capable working dog.
