Episode 364: Love, death and robots - The Canine Paradigm | Lyssna här

In Episode 363 of The Canine Paradigm, things get wild, technical, and a little heavenly. Glenn opens with an update on Ladybug after she nearly tried to punch her own ticket to the pearly gates again. We talk through what happened, what the recovery looks like, and why these moments hit so hard when you live life with dogs.

Then we pivot back to the listeners. We asked what topics you want, and you delivered. One question took the episode into a completely different orbit. What happens when AI starts interacting as a dog trainer, and how far could that realistically go? We explore what AI can do well, where it will fail, and why real-world training still depends on timing, observation, and judgement that is hard to replicate through a screen.

It is part life update, part community chat, and part future-facing debate. Expect laughs, a bit of emotion, and a surprisingly technical dive, all in the one show.
