Welcome welcome. It has been a very long time since we've chatted with our good buddy, Blaine, from Hudson River Retrievers and we're glad he's back. Tonight, we get to hear about Blaine's summer of training dogs and fishing. Blaine has done a little traveling this summer and shares about his time at various hunt tests and how the dogs on his truck are doing.

After, we dig into a question we get alllllll the time: how do I properly collar condition my dog?

If you're interested in learning about collar conditioning or if you think you could learn a trick or two, Blaine and Bob break it down into great detail.

Thanks to Blaine for coming on the show, it's always a good time. Cheers.
