Gun Dog It Yourself

294. Train MORE with LESS!

Listen Later

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
