    Special Guest: Cassie Meloche
    Dec 13 2023
    Besides being an unofficial Professor Doctor and the wife of Steve, subsequently ensuring she holds the coveted and prestigious title of “most patient woman on the planet”, Cass is an experienced teacher of actual little human beings with a Masters in Learning Intervention. We chat about the basics of behaviour modification, and how Josh’s sister is disgusted that he keeps telling her that dogs and little people learn, and can be influenced in very similar ways. Almost exactly the same in fact.

    Special Guest: Alex Krstic - Owner of Wildpro and Sambarman Kennels
    Nov 15 2023
    Besides being an absolute weapon when it comes to competitive axe throwing, Alex Krstic is passionate about Australia’s native wildlife species and their preservation. For over 30 years, Big Al has been seeing to it, that invasive species such as feral cats and foxes in Australia, don’t have the easy ride they so desperately want when it comes to ravaging native wildlife species. What’s more impressive still, is that he has, and continues to, use dogs to help him with his work. Alex “Serbian Santa” Krstic, as he is so fondly known by the children of The Yarra Valley, is an old school “Dog Man” who certainly knows his way around the traps, with experience breeding Hounds, Deutsch Drahthaars and Jagd Terriers, the latter of which he goes into great detail about with Josh and Steve in this episode.
