294. Train MORE with LESS!

Gun Dog It Yourself

I stopped off while on my way up to the Northwoods for a few weeks with Jordan Horak of Cato Outdoors . We hung out and ran some dogs through a few drills then sat down to record this conversation in which we talk about some hurdles or challenges for a lot of folks wanting to train their own bird dogs.

Watch Here!

• The impact of wild bird populations on how we train.
• You don't need land and birds everyday to train a bird dog.
• Develop a language with the dog
• Find the highest common denominator
• Keeping sessions short and incremental. For both kids and dogs!
• Avoid being a greedy trainer
• Develop the dogs like a kid but don't TREAT them like a kid
• The dog worlds getting better about timelines and drive management
• Theres no ribbons given out for training
• Starting with a win
• Eventually you may have to push them through
• Sometimes they have to do it. Other times, do we really care?
• Pull away just one nuggets from these podcasts
• Small adjustments and building the toolbox
• You have to be able to adjust and not stick to just one way
• It should be FUN! ENJOY the process
