A Retriever Training Trifecta
This morning is a special show because we've never had a triple threat like this in the podcast room and also on youtube.... let's see how it goes. We had the pleasure of having Molly Boland and Blaine Tarnecki at the house for some training and took the opportunity to discuss some highly specific retriever training Q&A. Please let us know if you're liking the youtube action so far. We're trying to keep things new and improved and always welcome some feedback.
Here's a few highlights from the show:
Chomping birds during the retrieve and how to fix it
Overtraining and simplifying for great dogs.
Getting your dog to use their nose when hunting
Collar conditioning to "give," force fetch and more
When and how to introduce your dogs to retrieving doubles
With young dogs, should you avoid having bumpers near a bank so they don't get into the habit of cheating the retrieve on land?

Spending "leadership capital" with dog training
Today we chat with our buddy and repeat guest, Carlos Ramirez from CRK9. If you've somehow missed our first show with him, you need to check it out. Carlos is such a fantastic dog trainer, story teller, coach and one heck of a pig farmer.
Here's a few highlights from the show:
Couple of farmers talkin' farms
We continue our "dog of a lifetime" series with our community and we also hear from Carlos. He shares about his own dog and then a dog that he trained and saved lives. Man, it's hard to describe the type of impact you can have on people by working with dogs.
Dogs who don't have an "off switch" and discussing the cross over between working dogs and hunting dogs.
Evaluating NEEDS vs WANTS for a dog, liabilities, choosing dogs providing structure for dogs without draining attitude.
Spending "leadership capital" and common errors with dog training
