Dog training and handling is a process, not a destination. Training effectively and efficiently requires a great deal from the teacher, and it is an ongoing process. There is so much more to successfully managing this, it's hard to put into words. We break down some of what I'm talking about here. It's not about doing what someone told you to do. I…

Based on some questions from our recent Handling Seminar, we address the question of planting birds in the upland field. The assumption that there is 'a way' to do it is not entirely correct. There are a number of considerations before training an upland dog and determining how to plant each training session.…

In this episode, 2 people take the role of the dog in blind running. On a search for a large chocolate bar, they learn the job of the dog is a lot harder than they ever knew. Blaming 'That darned dog' is so much easier than understanding this from their perspective. An excellent exercise to undertake.…

In today's episode we talk about the importance of starting a future upland hunter on the best foot possible. Often, we approach this work like they already know they are upland dogs, and we try to rush in the training. Upland work is a logical, linear process, which when done in a manner that suits that pup, results in the beautiful upland hunters…

In today's episode (using computer for sound, not podcast microphone), we discuss two more issues dog folks can occasionally encounter. The first is pointing retrievers creeping on a point, a problem often treated with pressure and correction, a dangerous thing to do to a dog with its live bird. The second is the difficult issue of mouth problems o…

In today's episode, I break down two "dog problems" I helped with. One a dog with solid basics of handling choosing to not get into the water on either marks or blinds; the other a puppy who refused to retrieve any puppy bumper but its' own. Addressing behavioral problems is never about what they should be doing, but what you've done that allowed t…

We address the more advanced training in this discussion. The more advanced training can be accomplished by staying in the most fundamental aspects of the training.

In this episode, we discuss how training your dog is a process, and your expertise is something that should continually progress - it is not a destination you reach with no further learning required. Our dogs continuously reflect us right back to us, if we are wise enough to perceive that phenomenon. With curiosity and strong enough self-evaluation…

In today's episode, we break down one of the biggest causes of training problems: looking right through your student. We often take our timelines and recipes and then stick the dog to them. This can work, but what do you when it doesn't, and how do you go about preventing problems by created by fitting your square peg into a round hole? Read on....…

In today's episode, we talk about the reasons early and appropriate bird introduction is important, sometimes critically so.

Emphasis on…

In today's episode, based on a question I received, we breakdown why it is very possible to train upland and technical retriever work at the same time in a consistent routine retriever training process.
