  • There is much more to breeding than just pairing up a male and female! Gretchen Zwerlein of V.D. Wildblumen Kleine Munsterlander joins me to discuss her process when it comes to making the decision to breed, whelping the litter, and her process when it comes to developing throughout the early puppyhood stages.
    Watch Here!

    Why the Munsterlander?

    What makes the German system produce consistent results?

    What made Gretchen decide to breed?

    Not all dogs are worth breeding

    The risk of breeding for the dam

    Doing right by the puppies right out of the gate with ENS and/or ESI?

    Exposing young litters to EVERYTHING!

    Turning puppies into problem solvers

    Make it challenging but not too difficult. Hope outweighing struggle.

    The vetting process and finding the right puppy buyers

    The puppy selection/matching process

    The checklist and wanting forgiving puppies

    Struggle leads to good stuff!

    The handoff to the new owners

    Noise sensitivity and exposure

    Who is "Toad"?!?

    Encouraging rewards away from us for close working pups

    Trainer's and their own dog's always need the most work

  • Nate Czarnota of Iron Oak Dog Company sits down with me after his training seminar to discuss a number of topics that were addressed throughout the weekend.
    WATCH HERE

    What was the goal of putting on this style of a seminar?

    Active dog, reactive handler

    Leash and line management

    Be comfortable being uncomfortable

    Anyone thats really advanced is truly just good at the basics

    Pressure that both handlers and dogs are okay with

    Keeping the good attitude throughout

    "Space between the notes"

    Hope has to be higher than the struggle

    Room service and removing the "competition"

    Allow the dog to experience consequences

    The power of a check chord and back pressure

    The most efficient path to the reward is through us

    Maximizing intensity while maintaining stability via room service as opposed to mark and release

    Direct and indirect reward examples through Force Fetch

    Shaping behaviors doesn't mean we don't obtain the "have to" element

    The importance of "aquariums"

    Balancing the language and theory with hands on application

    Other influences and resources to explore

  • In this episode, we explore the value of continuous learning and the importance of embracing new perspectives in dog training. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's always room to grow by stepping outside your comfort zone. I'm joined by Randall Lykens of Liberty Canine, Justin Rigney of K9 Services Unlimited, Tim Andrews, and Chris Armanini of Full Send K9 for an insightful discussion on how trainers in the gun dog community—and beyond—can benefit from incorporating fresh approaches into their training routines.
    Watch Here!

    The dog's perception of pressure while in drive

    Impulse control and the value of the dog taking a lesser reward while in drive

    You may THINK you want the dog with the highest drive....

    Charged markers and owning the dog's stomach via food

    Why do these guys train the way they do?

    Create a world where the dog cant self reward!

    Getting the enthusiasm WITH the control

    People's reluctance to consider new approaches

    Everything evolves

    Women are better trainers and the impact that has had within dog breeding

    Preparing for pressure and theres not a one way fix for everything

    Old school pressure on/pressure off training gets boring. Make training ENJOYABLE again

    What is actually in it for the dog to retrieve?

    Teaching the out and how Force Fetch can actually be used to fix barking and leaking

    You are your own architect to your training process. Make some art!

    The dogs are constantly analyzing us

    The hardest aspect of training is the human

    Dogs are master manipulators and ALWAYS studying you!

    Two types of people: 1- they like dogs and 2- they like THEIR dog

    Real wild bird hunting in these trials

    The trial seasons in fall and spring

    The "super bowl" in the cover dog game

    Breeds competing in the trials

    No flushing dogs?

  • With the much anticipated early bird hunting season finally upon us in a few weeks, I've received quite a number of emails and messages concerned about snakes and questions about the Rattlesnake Vaccine so I thought it would be worth republishing the episode I recorded last year with Chris Jenkins of the Orianne Society where we talked everything snakes and how it pertains to all of us with dogs.

    Why are we doing a snake episode?

    Addressing the fear of snakes

    The overlap of bird and reptile populations

    Do specific snakes smell differently than others for a dog?

    Types of venomous snakes and the regions they are found

    "Safe" temperatures for snakes to stay underground

    "Venom" vs. "poisonous" and the types

    The vaccine. Effective or not?

    How does Chris keep his dogs safe from snakes?

    Snake aversion training

    Non venomous snake bite concerns

    The make up of a bite: dry/wet, location, etc.

    Breaking snake myths

  • Jared Warren of Southern State K9 returns in part 2 of the discussion on building and utilizing markers in your training. You also cant discuss markers without at least a working level of understanding when it comes to reward structures so we explore that topic as well.

    Think of it as training with Dopamine rather than training with rewards

    Dogs are selfish and thats a good thing!

    Paying in position and reward hierarchy (Steadiness!)

    The power of removing the game by using Negative Punishment (P-)

    Something you need to build anticipation and drive

    Building drive in an inexperienced dog vs a suppressed dog

    Getting the dog to come off the line with enthusiasm! The send off!

  • "I wish the dog could understand what I'm saying!" A very relatable request or wish that any dog trainer has probably uttered at some point or another. The truth is though, with the proper approach and consistency, you can get the dog to at least understand "yes" or "no" which does allows you to communicate more effectively with your dog.
    Jared Warren of Southern State K9 joins us in a two part discussion on building and utilizing markers. You cant discuss markers without at least working level of understanding when it comes to reward structures as well.
    Watch Here!

    What is a "marker"

    The types of markers: reward, duration, terminal, indirect reward, negative

    You're actually using markers whether intending to do so or not

    Dog training isn't just one way ~ "There are 9 million ways to Rome"

    Sometimes the best option is to go backwards and reset

    Charging the marker

    "Free shaping" vs "luring"

    Luring = "mechanical shaping"

    Mark and....release, keep going, reward

    The hope of reward has to outweigh the struggle of behavior

  • In this episode, we're joined by Ben Fretz from North Country Sporting Dogs to discuss the most common concerns in the dog training world. Whether you're a DIY trainer, a professional, or a dog owner who hires a trainer, one truth remains: every dog is unique and won't follow the same path. However, the pressure often mounts once a date is set on the calendar. Ben shares his insights on why patience isn't just a virtue in dog training—it's a requirement. Tune in to learn how to stay calm and focused on the individual needs of your dog, regardless of the timeline.
    Watch Here!

    It's important to have goals. Just not at the expense of the dog.

    Is there more concern over impatience at the entry level or the advanced level of testing?

    Teach developing skills rather than passing a test

    Focus on the relationship and handling skills

    Better ways to expose new owners and pups

    The proper foundation requires patience

    The only people that have real deadlines are pro trainers. Not DIY trainers.

    A calm mind to train doesn't meant you punish or suppress the dog to achieve it

    You don't always have to have birds

    Troubleshooting problems. Whats actually causing the dog to crunch birds?

    Troubleshooting undesired behaviors with consistency

    Fun energy creates more fun

  • You never know when an idea or passion may find you. This was the case for Kevin and his son while out on an early season Sharptail hunt. While stopping for a break and consuming products designed to help fuel their own hunt, they couldn't help but wonder why they didn't have anything to help fuel their dogs. Fast forward and they have now produced an all natural human grade bone broth designed to help fuel hydration and spark recovery before the hunt is even over!
