In today's episode, we discuss a couple different approaches to training a dog. There is the 'teaching the right motions', the 'make them do it right', the 'repeat it until they get it' and then the one I like, teach them to give their best ef
In today's episode, we discuss the success of localized pointing Lab clubs and how we need to form more of these to help in educating more people about these dogs. Where do you get a good pup, how do you train them with both retrieving and poi
Poor behaviors, new training problems, confusing troubles, generally stem from the dog being in a situation it cannot manage, is confused or is disheartened or distrustful. But very few of us look at things this way. Understanding the inner n
Today's episode is just a couple stories. Stories of things that happened with dogs, not because of the training principles used, not because of any expert advice, but because the individuals really wanted it with their dog. And when done wit
Today's episode is just a couple stories. Stories of things that happened with dogs, not because of the training principles used, not because of any expert advice, but because the individuals really wanted it with their dog. And when done wit
For those who test their dogs in any venue, we've all had the day when we were prepared, paid the entry, drove the distance, only to have our dog do something it has never done before. We are dejected and mystified. Here are a few ideas that
In today's "Tests are happening now" episode, we talk about how to best prepare your student for success. I have found it isn't by practicing game day setups to get ready for gameday, but by understanding your pupil's psychology, behavior, fit
Today we move past the obedience and moving hold and teach the dog to fetch the bumper with the single command. In doing this part humanely and with thought, the dog is taught that it controls the training pressure, and that by responding, th
Following the previous podcast, this episode takes us from teaching 'hold' in a stationary and calm position, to teaching 'hold' while moving and carrying out basic obedience exercises. This is the next logical step to ultimately getting your
Lots of horror stories about this process which teaches good bird handling and is the first step of teaching the handling process. If you've seen it done in a hard way, it would scare you away. Many of us are afraid or insecure about undertak
In today's early spring episode, we talk not about the dogs, but about you. The human factor IS the limiting factor in our dog training. Who we are and how we see and interpret things determines the outcomes. We can require our canines come
In today's episode, we break down the difference between "making noise" and useful and clear communication with your dog. To effectively teach a dog anything, you must first establish a relationship in which the dog respects you and actually w
In this episode, we discuss the approach to training a dog that is fearful of things it encounters in training and daily life, and the same for the dog that has a mild interest in the work for which you got it. It can often be accomplished, bu
In this episode, which is continued discussion of the important elements in puppy upbringing, we breakdown how to teach a dog to be its own best problem solver. After clearly teaching them a concept, it is important to know how to transfer acc
Today's episode is about dealing with the best training habits for you and your young pupil to develop. Not creating any bad habits is almost as important as the things you are teaching the little one. We talk about bird introduction, retrievi
In today's episode, a topic I dearly love. I was asked if it was possible to have a dog that came when called, walked well on a leash and off, and could be trusted while loose - without using an electric collar. The answer is yes, but it take
As with any of us in pursuit of something we are doing, a dog should enjoy what they are working on, look forward to it and share in the feeling of mastery of what they do. There are a number of ideas and approaches in training dogs, some very
In this episode, I answer the question from a listener on the topic of daily training. How do you know how much is enough, too often, too hard, too easy? It's a great question, one I have encountered in my years of training dogs. Listen in a
Based on a good question received on running blinds, we break down what happens when you call a dog back on a blind, and further discussion about requiring the dog do the work instead of you having to do it for them. Join in on an interesting
In this episode, we break down the ways to raise a pup which is based more on never creating problems to be fixed later on. Noise, destruction, jumping, not returning on retrieves, not listening, "stubbornness" can all be prevented by a well t
In today's Troubleshooting episode, we discuss the problem of a young dog that doesn't always return or doesn't directly return on a retrieve. As with many problems, this is a symptom of a larger problem, and often as simple as the dog was nev
In this episode, I take a question about "How do I get my dog to quit pulling on the leash?" and break down addressing what appears to be a single problem. Most of the time, these behaviors are symptoms of a more systemic problem, and in corre
In the first episode of 2024, we talk about how much you and your dog can advance when you quit directing their every move and turn responsibility for the work - over to them. Constant commands, cues, reminders are often more nagging than inst
As a continuation of episode 284, starting to run blind retrieves, this describes how much actual teaching needs to be done before a dog is good at running blinds. There is much more to it in the dogs' mind, than we are often aware.
In today's episode, we breakdown the approach to teaching a dog with the appropriate fundamentals of going when sent and stopping when whistled - how to confidently learn to run any cold blind. It is less drill and trick-oriented, but more jus
