In this Q and A episode, Chris and Elliott rip through a stack of listener questions covering the real world stuff that comes up between training days and hunting days. They talk about the transition when you bring a dog home from a pro trainer, how to build respect and consistency in the house, and why you should call your trainer instead of chasing random Facebook advice.

They also dig into hunt test nerves and how your pace and energy at the line affects your dog, plus training answers for cast refusals, cover and water “suction,” and why you have to put dogs in controlled danger zones so they learn to work out of trouble. Elliott brings up recurring paw punctures and swelling between toes, and Chris explains what he has seen work and what can happen if it gets worse. They cover setting dogs up for success in brand new hunting scenarios like boats, pits, dog stands, layout style situations, and especially river retrieves with current and decoys.

Finally, they hit sticking at delivery and why it can derail a dog if you do not address it, then close with a discussion on impulse control and how much of it is genetics versus training
