Tonight's show is jam packed with all sorts of training advice for building one heck of a dog. We chat with our buddy Ray Voigt from Purina about his time as a dog man. Ray worked alongside & learned from some of the greatest trainers of our generation (you'll hear who in the show). We hear how Ray gives corrections, how he handles dogs who do not give effort and what he considers "effort." We talk in depth about increasing effort on down the shore blinds and other difficult scenarios. We hear a very detailed explanation of Ray's methods for teaching hold and transitioning throughout force fetch and walking fetch and we learn how to oversimplify training for dogs. Many people ask us about 3 handed casting and well, we chat about that, too. One of my favorite quotes from this show was when Ray said to coach dogs by making the right thing to do, easy , and making the wrong thing to do, hard.

We have such a highly detailed conversation about such intense training that we almost run out of time to chat about Purina. We dig into Ray's work with herding dogs and Spaniels and 3 products from Purina that you may not know about...
