Gun Dog It Yourself

239. Flipping The Switch

Listen Later

You've heard us talk about it. If you've been around enough dogs then you've witnessed it. That moment when the light bulb comes on due to an experience that just flipped the switch! Nate Kennedy, Northeast Regional Engagement Coordinator for Ruffed Grouse Society, recently just witnessed this moment with his Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. He shares his experience from the very beginning being anxious and nervous about owning a dog to now being on "cloud 9 because his young dog has started pointing grouse left and right!"
