January 25, 2024240. Hangin Outro w/ Randall Lykens
My buddy Randall Lykens stopped by to hang out and run the dogs while the rest of the South continued to thaw out. We sat down and touched on a few of his takeaways from the previous "Flipping the Switch" episode with Nate Kennedy as well as a few other topics:
Random hold over training bird contacts
Recognizing when your dog is on a track
"Ripped birds" as opposed to "worked birds"
Listener Feedback | CRP, land prices, pheasant stocking
Listener Question | Working left to right in the field, reigning in the dog

January 23, 2024239. Flipping The Switch
You've heard us talk about it. If you've been around enough dogs then you've witnessed it. That moment when the light bulb comes on due to an experience that just flipped the switch! Nate Kennedy, Northeast Regional Engagement Coordinator for Ruffed Grouse Society, recently just witnessed this moment with his Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. He shares his experience from the very beginning being anxious and nervous about owning a dog to now being on "cloud 9 because his young dog has started pointing grouse left and right!"
The community providing well intentioned but breed blind advice
Flash point --> rip the bird --> repeat
Dont be on a timeline and find comfort in your decisions when training YOUR dog
Sometimes taking a break is the best choice
"Closing the loop" and flipping the switch!

January 04, 2024235. Competing in the UFTA w/ Loren Troutt
Loren Troutt joins me to detail how he has been involved in UFTA essentially most of his life but how its different since he began competing a few years ago. Hunting wild birds isn't always what first exposes someone to bird dogs so how is it different for someone that comes in via trialing and gets hooked on bird dogs while achieving successful results early in the process?
Highlights:
You still have to train/maintain your dogs even if you send them off to a pro trainer
How to reign a dog in if all they want to do is go!
Prepare for mis-marked birds with golfballs
Running up to the level of competition!
Running 'Doubles' with a buddy sounds like a blast!

January 02, 2024234. Competing in the UFTA w/ Kevin Kiper
Kevin Kiper joins us this week to explain how theres no difference in training a wild bird dog and trial dog. Also, anyone with just a little bit of luck can compete immediately within UFTA (United Field Trialers Association).
The points chase in UFTA
Anyone has a shot when theres a bit of luck involved and the conditions are right
Consistency is better than relying on luck
The UFTA is membership owned. What does that mean and why is it good?
Breed considerations when competing
Why does Kevin enjoy trialing so much? Time spent with dogs & friends
