Speaker 3:

and you're listening to the sexier than a squirrel podcast.

Speaker 5:

welcome to sexier than a squirrel. The podcast where we teach you how to become sexier than the environment to your dog and whatever that environment might throw at you right

Speaker 3:

now. We mean real life sexy. Now we're talking sexy. Susan, her partner. Sexy Simon.

Speaker 5:

Yeah. And you've probably seen them on walks and that's kind of what we, what the topic of today's episode is about, is that be honest. Have you walked past a dog and their owner or that owners and thought, you know, or those owners are sexy. Like you look at them and you're like, that dog is not leaving them.

Speaker 3:

You watch and you watch it almost like your jaw drops and you're like, there's, you felt relationship. Yeah. You're struggling with your dog and a and Oman and there's then like carefree looking sexy

Speaker 5:

because their dog picks them over the environment every single time. And that is really what we're, when we joke about being sexier than a square, a lot sexier than a peg or sexier than like yesterday's hamburger that somebody dropped on the floor. Yeah. Like that is it. All it is is all the time we are dogs making choices whether to pick the environment or pick us, especially on walks. Right. And the thing is that if you're struggling with your dog pulling on lead, or you're struggling with your dog chasing things, or you're struggling with your dog, maybe not recalling it's because sadly you are not sexy enough in that situation.

Speaker 3:

And so don't be sad about not being sexy because I think that's exactly, um, that's where we are today. And we sat about about that not being sexy. If you don't, you know what, what we've got to do is almost look at how that squirrel operates, right? Like actually how does this work? And, and that's kind of where sex and this girl came from, right? Like squirrels. They are,

Speaker 5:

they, they have all the sexy secrets. And the thing is what, what you, the the other way that you could go about this, as you could see that perfect relationship that, that perfect partnership dog and owner on a walkway, the dog just picking them every single time, not distracted. And how about in this episode of the podcast, we start to deconstruct that and we review so that we can reverse engineer it for you and your dog. And that is what we're going to be talking about today in sexier than a squirrel. So before we dive into that, we've got some game changer wins since the last episode. Um, and they are super cool. Remember guys, keep sending in these[inaudible]

Speaker 2:

game changer wins because we want to know about exactly. It's inspiring for us.[inaudible] up and it lights you up and it lights the other game changers up. The thing about the game changer community is we celebrate successes. Celebration out there like you, you will probably suggest this, you'll probably say this, you'll probably be able to identify with it. We don't celebrate enough. Like only last week someone messaged us to say that they were sexy than a pig. Yeah. That is a day to celebrate the day that you are sexier than a pen. The day that you are sexier than, I don't know, yesterday's sausage roll that some child has dropped on your walk. That is a data, I feel a bit sick. I was, I was so good. Oh my word. Don't talk to me about any like crushed, like chip in a carpet if you wanted to tell him left one who tell just because they had some tomato ketchup made me feel so weird. It made me feel weird. And the awkward thing is is that we're speaking at an event and we had to drive to a hotel that was much further away from the event cause I like there's just food everywhere and that place. Anyway, that's where the weirdness and so game changer wins. We've got Martha Arthur's

Speaker 5:

transformation's pretty cool. And she, she messaged this in because I think she's had a bit of like a, a moment of reflection on realizing how far she's come through games. So before Martha's life was a little bit like this chaos when guests arrived, painful walks with lunging and barking at dogs, deer, CAS, runners, poor recall. Now after calm, the greets guests ignores dear Martha is officially sexier than a DIA. She's also sexier than runners and also dogs. So that hope before and after picture. I think if you were looking at Martha walking down the street with her dogs prior to this, you'd be thinking, ah gosh, she's really struggling. I can see that she's struggling. You might be thinking, I'm sharing some of our struggles, but I can't get close enough to her to chat about them because my dog is kicking off as well. And now you might look at Martha walk down the street and you might think, you know what, that is one sexy lady walking down that street. Next we've got that. Then we've got Jennifer. Jennifer says, Holly, my two year old border Collie is a very anxious boy, scared and reactive to anything new. And before he would shy away from even like if I was, I don't know, playing with a cone in a game, he would shy away from it. Now he fully inserts his head into it. He's interacting with it, he's playing it. He is a different dog. And finally the game changer when that final game changer win for this week is Kirsty's and she says dinky used to take any opportunity to bolt. She wouldn't go far. Cute name, by the way. And she wouldn't go far. She'd stay with inside, but out of arm's reach, she would keep away for up to 90 minutes. Gosh, that is a big chunk out of your day before she would decide to come back, it wants to took me an hour to get her out at the sea. Gosh, go. Yesterday I took her to the beach, she went off lead and stayed right with me. Didn't go in the water and came when I asked to put her back on lead games. Rock Kirstie, my friend, you rock like forget games. You rock your rock there. That is amazing. So they're the game changer wins sport this week. If you want to be featured in a future game changer, win, then all you're going to do is let us know about it. Okay? So let us know about it on the various social media channels and we will endeavor to read every single one. And we always share a few on the podcast. Now, how can gain changes become sexier than us?

Speaker 3:

Oh my God, there's so many options. So many options. And the good thing is you're in the right place because that menu of options is all available. So what we think about it, number one, we have a Potter value. We wake up every day with our dogs, with a Potter that we have like a pot of gold that you find under a rainbow. So what happens is each and every morning you search for rainbow Lake each and every morning you, you, you, you have your dogs dinner, right? Like you have your dogs in there. And that could be rural, that could be kibble. So many people get a little bit worried about this. I think that it really doesn't matter what your feed, you have the pot of value. So let's say I own a Cocker spaniel. Her name's blink, she's about six kilos. She has, I don't know about 75 grams of rule in her meal, or I might use cable. And I really can intermix that depending on what you do with your dog's food, please don't get complex on food. You can just use it however you want. And everyone they get, Oh you want to talk about,

Speaker 5:

I just want to talk and I'm not going to go in depth on food. That is a, that is a whole new podcast. That's a whole new day long podcast books and what I would like to say is what we read, we are really passionate about is it's all well and good as giving you these tools, giving you these games, giving you these strategies, teaching you how to get real life results. It's not going to happen unless you take action. So sometimes what we can do is we can get a little bit stuck in a place of thinking about what we don't have or thinking about how some things are far from ideal.

Speaker 3:

Well potentially you can just tell you're thinking like you might just get a bit over thinky like yeah,

Speaker 5:

it's started. Okay, Lauren's going subtle about this. Just get stuffed at play a game. Okay, that's all we're asking you to do. I was being self taught here. Again, play a game. That's all we're asking you to do. We're not saying, you know, do some like complex algebra, play a game. Now if you're wondering, you know what, how to games transform dogs, how do they get real life results where we've created a resource for you? I was just

Speaker 3:

picking through it then. Thank God there's so many things in here that, that you're going to want to see in here. And when I was talking

Speaker 2:

then about like really ditch the bowl. Actually, these are sorts of things that we, we touched base in this resource and it's called the zero to hero to becoming a game changer. And all you're going to do me prepared it for you, is there for you to grab. And all you're going to do is go to absolute dog's dot me. That's absolute dog's all one word. Dot me forward. Slash start. So it's literally like a start here. If you have not downloaded this book, you need to download it right now. Whether you've done it, you're going to download your results because I'm not saying that word, but people make fun of me about too funny. So, and he's called me. So what I want to talk about is that part of value each and every day your dog wakes up with, now we ditch the bowl. So what we do is we absolutely get rid of that bowl. So my house, we don't have dog bowls, but we definitely have a pot of value each and every day. Now with that pot of value, I decide where I'm going to put it. So let's say blink, she doesn't like to retrieve. I'm going to work on her coming back and doing a retrieve and that's where I'm putting my value that day and I'm also going to added some calmness and that's the other place I might add in work for her. Whereas I'm going to divide it appropriately. I'm my, I don't know, let's say I'm working with lava and I've noticed that lava, the standard poodle, she's started to maybe not be quite as responsive on our recall on walks now rather than do repetition after repetition of recall and trade in the situation, what I'm going to do is I'm going to put some of that pot of value and actually her just sticking close by. So this concept that we call proximity, right? Proximity for us is exactly what it says on the 10. It's, it's hang out close like it's, it's proximity close is the foundation of attention. If that two fields away, they ain't listening, they ain't going to be coming back. So what we would say to all of you is you can put your pots of value wherever you want it. For me wanting a dog to and to, to bring something back, actually let's do some shaping games. Let's work around the, um, around the, um, again, another proximity topic. Really, when I was coming up with what I would be doing around that, maybe, I don't know, I've got a dog, he's barking at everything. What I might do with my values, work on confidence, will coldness so I can put my pot of value where it's needed. And the best thing about it is it's like you're spending power. It's like free money. It's like you've picked up free money off the street and you've got buying power and you've got spending power, so you're able to utilize it and use it wherever you need to for that dog. And then I've got dogs and for example, for myself, I'm doing agility with maybe am style or and blink at top level. So I've got dogs working at top level in agility and they would be working their food in them in mainly I'm doing agility. So there'll be rewarding behaves agility, potentially using food or I might be using it back into calmness so that when they're not working to the T, then they're putting it in the Columbine. Yeah. So I think it's about each and every individual. This is probably where we hit another really important like mantra for us, which is train the dog in front of you. That pot of value is for the dog in front of you. So it might be scatter feeding. You should tell the story is going to happen, isn't it? So you've got to put your food in the right place. So, so we had a, a very interesting encounter. We did and it was an interesting encounter and it was a little bit like of a like, Oh my word. It's like a real wakeup, like cool. It was a real moment and then wow. Yeah. And then we realize it is pretty, it's a pretty inspirational story. Or maybe not for the right reasons because she wasn't, was not any sexy season. No, she, no, she was, she was having struggles with her dog, wasn't she wanted to work in the moment and at the same as working in the moment, she was missing one ma who Civ huge potential. This, this lady, she, we were doing some speaking, let's call her Helen and Helen stood up in front of a room full of people. She was gleeful and she was so, um, and she said with a huge smile on her face, she says, Tom Lauren, I have ditched the bowl of the ditch. I've ditched the bowl as, as you said it and you told me to. And we're thinking, Oh God, here we go. And everybody's like, you can see when it's a room full of people and someone's been awful. They all, I mean, for all of a sudden everyone's listening, they're rubbing their hands together like this is going to be juicy. And she said, I, I've done exactly as you said. I've ditched the bowl as you suggested. And it does not work. I have not just ditched the bowl. I've ditched the bowl for six months, done it completely. Every bit of food I've used in, in some form of, of, of not in a bowl, let's say, does not work. So Tom said, absolutely sure you're not giving any of the food in a bowl and you're not giving Kongs and you're not giving none of the foods going in, in the bowl at all. Like you're not[inaudible]. Nope. And so I said, you know, well, what are you struggling on? Oh, I have a sniffy spine. Untrainable snippy Springer, stubborn untrainable sniffy spaniel Springers by your and with that whole little Springer spaniel, SA side, looking up. Really, really beautiful little dog. Absolutely soulful dog. Like for me, my heart melts when I see a dog like that. Big Brown eyes. Beautiful, beautiful dog. And we look at each other. Then what are you doing when you ditch the bowl? How are you using? If you tell us, tell us what you do because you've got this snippy spaniel. He wakes up sniff eggs, NiFi Springer spaniel. My trainer tells me he can't get his nose up off the ground like no hope. There is no hope. She is absolutely like done. Head off the ground. Beautiful. So we said, you know what you're doing with the food if you ditch in the bowl. And she said, well, I scatter it. I throw it on the ground, I throw it in the garden, I throw it on walks, I throw it as I'm walking, I throw it far. I've 100% of her bowl, I ditch and scattering. Now I'm sure your thinking, you know what the struggle

Speaker 5:

is here. Yeah. And we were thinking it too, but the fact is that while that is an extreme and very inspirational for all the wrong reasons, story, we kind of all a victim to this a little bit sometimes and we know that this is a pot of value, but are you putting that pot of value really where you need to be?

Speaker 3:

Is that value going into the right place? Is it going in the right game? Are you sometimes being, I don't know, I'm a little bit limited. Do you struggle to think new games? Do you struggle to find new games? I knew that all of the people in the training Academy they can barely sort of keep up with and there's lots of fun games like all the time. However, I know that some people they are limited. They like an example and just really a lot of people lack creativity and they don't know what to do or how to do it or when to do it or why to do it. For us, we pay games, we live games, we do games for every meal. That's where the food goat goes.

Speaker 5:

And in fact, you know, the way that we like to look at it is that really the way that you are going to transform your dog owning and dog training struggle is by coming up with the recipe of games that you,

Speaker 3:

it's a whole, and we've, we've spoken about it, it's a whole menu of options. So it's, it's like a taste of it. Yeah.

Speaker 5:

And, and we really like to think of it like recipes. Like, and this is right from, you know, basic puppy obedience right through to the most severe behavior struggles that pinned with being told that there's no hope. You know, the, the dogs that have, uh, have been labeled as having obsessive compulsive disorder or being aggressive or being dangerous, you need the recipe of games suitor to that dog. That's exactly why we wrote the games recipe book and called it that because it's a recipe.

Speaker 3:

It is, it's so cool because it's bespoke, so it becomes bespoke to you and your dog. And I like, like Tom said, the whole like, like with the games book and it's, it's individually and bespoke to every dog. So what you will take, someone else will take something different. And what I love about that, I mean, we were out there treating this morning and we were watching some like super cool, powerful retrieves and I've tried a different recipe to get those with say Tokyo than I did with my previous dog. But I think it's really important that you are testing. It's like a taster. You're tasting, you're feeling, you're seeing how it's going and you're able to relax. You're making a Victoria.

Speaker 5:

Um, the, the thing is, you know, the first step that we're saying here is that you've got to ditch the bolt and you've got to see it as a of value. But then you've got to put that value into your own sexiness. You've got to invest in yourself. You've got to invest in your own sexiness and part of that,

Speaker 3:

enjoy that. Getting sex. Yeah, it's a cool thing. Like you start to get to a place where you're like, I'm winning. I'm winning. Like Peck wins every day. Like, Oh, our whole team, we celebrate wins, right? So you're, you're going to get sexy, you're going to celebrate your wins and you're going to work out where you're gonna put that value to get sexy.

Speaker 5:

Now one of the big questions that we get asked really, really commonly when you email in or you post on the various social media channels is, you know, what

Speaker 3:

we love hearing from

Speaker 5:

we love hearing from you is the big, one of the big questions is the action. My dog doesn't

Speaker 3:

always like value the food as much as the things that the environment provide. Like actually he would pick the squirrel over the fact that I have his dinner.

Speaker 5:

Yeah. And so it was really difficult to be as sexy as the squarer when you know what the squirrel's doing something, I don't know what, but it's making it, making them go crazy now. And that's because the squirrel is mastered something that you're going to master. And that is that the squirrel doesn't just provide a meal to the mouth. In fact, the squirt is not in the squirrel's best interest to do that. Let's be honest. And, but let me do it once. But what he also does is provide a variety of experience as leading up to that moment. And sometimes that moment, often 99.99, 9% of the time, that moment does not happen. So what we're saying here is the, actually, it's all well and good thinking about the object of a piece of food or a toy and just handing it to your dog's mouth to reward them. But the squirrel's winning because the squirrel isn't just handing itself to,

Speaker 3:

it's about what the dog is actually feeling, experiencing how it's, how it's moving. Right.

Speaker 5:

You know, it's, it's like the equivalent equivalent of me saying, right, you know what? We're going on a date and I turn up to your house and I'm, I don't know, I'm dressed in basically my normal, sexier than a squirrel tee shirt and jeans.

Speaker 3:

I would actually already shut the door. I'm not so sure. And he's got his trainers.

Speaker 5:

Yeah. And then, and then I say, right then we are, um, we're, we're off to McDonald's, Mackey D. yeah. And then you're like, actually, you know what, I'm not really going to come along for that. And we often do the same things to our dogs and we're surprised that they kind of tell us, you know what, I'm not interested in that. And yet if I turn up and I've got like, I dunno, I could go fancy dress route or I could go, um, I dunno, like I took CDOT and then I can be like, right with going to this super cool place where we're going to meet lots of super cool people. There's, there's a performer there and it's a 10 course taste, a menu. How cool would it be if you're that guy in the tuxedo to your dog? But how cool would it be if we embrace the next level of, of experiences that we provide our dog, like the squirrel, you don't have to dress up as a squirrel. Okay. As not what was,

Speaker 3:

and I'll give you another example and when I'd love to see it, please see the pictures that we dressed up as this squirrels. Oh my God. There's gonna be some dedicated[inaudible] game changer. Either a gray squirrel, literally I'm say game for squirrel costume means that first of all, costume photo, we see you get a prize prize. This one. So we want scrolls. So another one for me was M yes we can, I don't know, give Elizer a birthday present or a Christmas present or we can deliver an experience. So that could be something like going to theater or going to the cinema or taking um, a night out and doing something like cliff and climb or something that she would like to do. So the experience of doing things for me has so much more weight, has so much more value than the delivery of presence, for example. So it's, it's the experience of the, the joy you share together. And for me, I can give my dog a toy or I can let him catch it. I can roll it, I can let him retrieve, I can edit it out. It can let him find it. So consider exactly how you're delivering the experience, whether it is a toy, whether it's their pot of food, whether it is and the joy in your voice, whether it's the relationship that you're enhancing and building and growing. I think the experience in which you're sharing and growing and learning with your dog is really powerful.

Speaker 5:

Exactly. And in fact, the chewing and the eating is never going to compete with the squirrel. No piece of cable is going to taste that great. Then they're going to pick you. So instead what we've got to think is how can we take this piece of cable or whatever you feed and create an experience. Maybe it's throwing, maybe it's bowling, maybe it's catching, maybe it's running away with it in your hand. You get creative. Those, what we always say is that the game changes in the training Academy, which is like the online Netflix or doc training where it kind of houses all the games they're masters of the owners become masters of experience. And it's no wonder that their dogs choose them over the square hole.

Speaker 3:

I know exactly when to pair the right game with the right movement. Like Tom was saying that they are, they're masters of experience. So for me, what I love about that is that in the moment when my dog wants to chase, maybe, I don't know, let's say a sheep because sheep something that you will want to be sexier than. And so my dog looks at sheep, it's livestock, it's a problem. So he looks at sheep in that moment. I do my really exciting recall cue Tokyo. As he turns, if I stand still and deliver a piece of cable, he's likely to turn to look at me and then turn back. I'm off hamburger with cheese. I think you've caught a cheeseburger anyway. And so as he runs away, as he goes, I run in the other direction and I've got chase or tug or something that he can like really chase and Robin or say he's a foodie like blink, I've got a piece of food and I am going to bowl it in the other direction. Not just once. I've got to play some funder, some tornado, I'm going to do some middle, some magic, Halligan, do some catch and I'm going to deliver a whole marathon of games. And so that delivery experience for him has taken him from, okay, that sheep was nicer to, Oh my, my owner is a sexy Susan or a sexy Lauren. So you know what? You end up having a dog who um knows that you, you, you're going to deliver. You're not just going to say, let's go for dinner and say there's new Mackey DZ bolt. He knows that you're going to go for the tasting menu.

Speaker 5:

Now there's one further thing that is probably the difference between you and the squirrel. And that is that the squirrel,

Speaker 3:

that's where we are right there, says that

Speaker 5:

you can interact with me however you want to nail.

Speaker 2:

You can chase me. You can mouth me, you can please nobody. Put this piece of audio out, isn't it? Catch me. You can do anything you want to me darts in fun. He wiggles his tail. Furry little tail, cute little eyebrows. He's ready for fun. And really all here kind of gives out to the world is fun. Now what the squirrel doesn't do is turn around to the dog mid chase and say, Hey you, I would like you to sit in a certain way, give me your paw, and then maybe I will let you have a little sniff of my tail. He doesn't say things like, Hey, you stop right there. Turn away from me, run back in the other direction, behave yourself and then come back. Yeah, yeah. There's no naked, there's no stop being so excited. That's really annoying. Right? And the thing is that of course we need to have guidelines for our dogs, but if we want him to reward them or wanting to provide them with an experience and we're, we're aiming to really be sexy than the environment, what we can't do is start to stipulate how they must respond to that. You must do that. You must, when I bring this toy out, you must. So what we want to avoid is you guys putting in too many, I suppose I'm nagging[inaudible] bouncing around. Yeah. If we kind of stipulate the, our dog can only do one thing in any one setting, that doesn't feel that great. If you're, if you're, I don't know, boss at work said to you that by the way, I need you to do this, I need you to do it exactly like this and you see this side and you're not told any of the reasons why it's not going to be a fun job and you're not going to want to go to work everyday and don't necessarily, like Tom said, you don't understand why you don't really get the limitations or the regulations or the rules or the strict sort of form, the format that you must deliver in and it hasn't been framed well then actually, yeah, you hear it so many times, right? So let's put it in a practical sentences. Do this, do that. Nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag. And it becomes like this. Like, I mean, you've got a name for, I haven't hear what that lady, that's trash bag. Susan traps. So you've got a choice, right? Our guys, you could be sexy, Susan and she sounds exciting, doesn't she? Or you could be trash bag mouth Susan. And basically what that is where there's con constantly like basically the reason why I sort of, why I think of this is cause I wouldn't saw an it. My brain works in weird ways. It made me immediately think of this dog training scenario. This man was walking along, um, with a a bag of trash and as he was dragging it along, it got a little hole in it and as he was walking the hole started to like drop bits of litter and just started spewing things out. And basically the guy found it really funny, which

Speaker 5:

made me kind of feel really glad warm about it. That he found that really funny because I also would find that really funny. And um, but the, the thing is is I thought, hold on a second, that whole in that trash bag where there's like the old week old banana skin falling out of air and the, I don't know, the pizza box from the night before falling out of that. I think that sometimes as dog owners we can fall into our mounts become becoming that hole in the trash bag where effectively there's constant words coming out, but the words really have no meaning and they're really boring and dirty. Not in the sense of spot, but I don't worry about but in the sense of actually that they really like just boring and have no meaning and they bring down the energy. Yeah. And so

Speaker 3:

a good example would be, don't do that. Wait, wait. Stop that. Stop that. Hey, get off. Don't do that. Hey. Hey. No, no, no. Get off. No, no jumping. No job. No jumping. Come back.

Speaker 5:

Oh, just constant speaking and it could be there. The intention could be good to go. Good boy. Good boy. Stow Luke. Good boy. Good boy. Stay leave. Heel. Heel. Good boy. Good boy. Shut up. Okay, I'm good. I'm sorry. I'm going to say it in a subtle way that we need to probably repair the hole in that repair the hole in that trash bag. And the reason why I'm so like get so passionate about it is because we all do it. I've done it, Lauren's done it. And sometimes we catch ourselves. We catch ourselves doing it. And so what I always think is that the squirrel doesn't provide those experiences. The squirrel provides great experiences. And if that, if we can move to a world of being sexy, Susan, and rather than trash bag mouth, Susan, my word, our dogs are going to choose as time and time again. And that's when we moved to a world of our dog owning dream becoming our everyday reality. And it's absolutely possible, right?

Speaker 3:

Yeah. More than possible. You know what? We know you can be sexy.

Speaker 5:

So on that puncture, you've got a few kind of takeaways. We want you to utilize your pot of value that they, your dog starts every day with. We want you to turn that pot of value into experiences and make sure that you're spending your pot of value in the right place.

Speaker 3:

It's not just food, it's not about what you're using, it's about how you're using it. And then lastly, we want to remove trash bag. Susan from your house. She is, she's a Jesus thing of yesterday's not part of where we are now. Get read out. She goes and it's going to be no nagging, no bossing and considering really what you're saying before it comes out your mouth. So trying to think about what you're, what you're doing in that moment to stay ultimately very sexy. So
