Gun Dog It Yourself

273. Training Patience

Listen Later

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
  • BPro kennel comparison
