On this episode of the Dive Bomb SquadCast, Matt Judy sits down with Colin Ching of Cascade Retrievers to talk all things dog training and the journey from weekend waterfowler to full-time trainer. Colin breaks down what it really takes to build a steady, confident hunting dog — from picking the right pup to the countless hours of repetition, patience, and experience that go into the process.
We dive into the difference between self-training and sending a dog to a pro, the importance of mock hunts, and how understanding dog behavior separates great trainers from average ones. Colin also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the hunt test circuit and drops valuable advice for anyone hoping to get the most out of their next gun dog.
