Gun Dog It Yourself

263. Principles over Methods


Listen Later

"Pick a method and stick with it!" Sure, thats sound advice. Especially for beginners. But for those of us that want to know why a particular method works or how to overcome and even prevent certain roadblocks or snags from appearing, simply focusing on the "HOW" may not be enough.

Nate Czarnota of Iron Oak Dog Co. joins me to talk about the principles of dog training and how paying attention to learning theory can help you recognize what is actually connecting and driving your dog. Nate is a graduate from the NEPOPO Gold School and has since enjoyed helping teach others how they can have a better trained dog while improving their relationship with the dog by focusing on the "WHY."
