Found It, Fetched It - Gundog Training for Family Life episodes

March 25, 2022 How Do I Tell The Dog The Shooting Seasons Over?
It's been a long season working hard, and your dog deserves a break. But how do you tell them that the shooting season is over now?
This podcast episode hosted by LWDG Founder Joanne Perrott is all about transitioning your dog from a busy work schedule to a more relaxed lifestyle during the training season.
Emma Stevens and Abbie Reid, Experts from the LWDG Group, shared their tips for making this transition successfully.

They recommend using the offseason to work on obedience training, fixing any problems that arose during the last season, and gradually introducing your dog to the things they'll be doing during the upcoming season.

By taking things slowly and consolidating old skills before moving on to new ones, you'll help your dog be successful in the next season. Make sure to listen to this week's podcast, and check out the blog at www.thelwdg.com

March 04, 2022 26. Grouse Counting And Gundogs
You may have heard of the grouse count, but have you ever wondered what it is?

The grouse count is an annual event carried out by moorland keepers in the UK. It helps to determine whether grouse shooting will take place on an estate during a particular year or not. LWDG Featured Expert Lucy Hall explains to LWDG Founder Jo Perrott how the grouse count is done and how important these times of year are for the shooting season.

Lucy explains what grouse counting is, how important it is for moorland keepers, and how it is done. We also look at some of the dogs commonly used for this task and explore why they have been traditionally used for this job.

More about Lucy:

Passionate and creative with a personal touch, Lucy Claire Events specialises in bespoke event and party planning. With meticulous attention to detail, a classic style with a contemporary twist and a bursting little black book of contacts and trusted suppliers, we create memorable and magical experiences, always with the client at heart.

I've been blessed with a wonderful country upbringing, with shooting and working dogs playing a huge part of my life. I've grown up with my father working pointers (English) and setters, and both parents having a springer each for the shooting season. I now have 2 English setters and 2 x springers of my own, all of which I work.

Working setters and pointers is a huge passion of my father's, which he has passed on to me. So I've been shooting over pointers and setters - mainly grouse - for the last ten years, and have been trialling, grouse counting and running my own English setter for shooting parties on the grouse moors for the past five years. I've also a young ten month old English setter who is showing great promise with his fabulous pace and style that I'm really excited about!

I am also a 'makey learny' judge (lol) for the pointer and setter trials, so far having carried out two appointments. I have two further ones this spring, one on the moors and one on the partridge, which I'm very excited about.

February 25, 2022 25. Working With The Dog In Front Of You
Welcome to this week's episode of LWDG PODDOG. This week we will be speaking about the fact that every gun dog is unique and how you can learn to work with a dog in front of you.

In this podcast, LWDG Founder Joanne Perrott is joined by Experienced Trainers and LWDG Group Experts – Claire Denyer, Sam Thorneycroft-Taylor, Emma Stephens, Jemma Martin and LWDG Featured Experts Abbie Reid, Nicci Kenny and Rose Setten, as they discuss how we can give our working dogs individual training that suits them.

The team chats about how they individualise their training programmes to fit the dog rather than expecting it to fit into a pre-determined gundog training programme. They also talk about how important it is to know your dog as an individual and not just as part of a breed or type.

Thank you for joining us this week on LWDG PODDOG. We hope you have found this episode informative and helpful. As always, we would love to hear from you, so please do not hesitate to get in touch.

February 18, 2022 24. The Loaded Choice - Where & When Your Dog Should Make Its Own Decisions
Join LWDG Founder Jo Perrott with Experienced Trainers and LWDG Experts – Claire Denyer, Sam Thorneycroft-Taylor, Rose Setten, Emma Stephens, Abie Reid, Nicci Kenny and Jemma Martin as they discuss how we can give our working dog ‘choices’ when training.

As a dog owner and handler, I'm sure you have seen a lot of bad choices made by trainers, owners and dogs when it comes to obedience and behaviour, and it seems that many people have lost sight of the true meaning of the word "choice" when it comes to training their dogs.

The word ‘choice’ is both a contentious and emotive issue, as the LWDG Experts reveal in this highly engaging and informative discussion. In this episode of LWDG PODDOG, we'll be discussing what choice means for a dog and how to train them to make the right choices.
