Animal behaviorist, David Kurlander, joins us again but this time we are discussing aggression.  Where, how, and why does it show up in our dogs?  Is it sometimes a one off scenario or is it a recurring challenge?  Interesting conversation that really goes deep into why dogs act and perceive things differently in our everyday lives.

Pete Aplikowski joins us again to talk about the methods of getting your dog steady to flush.  Its the first step in transitioning from your dog's point into the cooperation and obedience to flush the bird.  For most hunters, this is the only level they truly need for their hunting dog but it's also a very important step if wanting to extend into further steadiness!
