Episode 361: Dr Melanie brings her dog science to Australia

In Episode 361 of The Canine Paradigm, we sit together in the studio to welcome Dr Melanie Uhde to Australia. Melanie spent a week in the country with Glenn, fitting in as many sights as humanly possible, before delivering two weekend seminars, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne. It was a big week, a lot of learning, and a lot of laughs.

We talk about what it was like bringing evidence-based education to Australian audiences, what stood out in the seminars, and why Melanie’s approach resonates with people who want something solid rather than something performative. Pat also asks Melanie directly about the online trolling and pressure that comes with publicly holding a science-first position. The conversation gets candid. Pat shares his disgust for parts of the industry that hide behind followers, bend the truth, and attack people who bring facts to the table.

This episode is part recap, part behind-the-scenes, and part reality check. If you value integrity, education, and honest discussion in dog training, you will enjoy this one.
