Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles

Tonight, we sit down to catch up with our good friends over at Standing Stone Kennels and hear about their hunting season and we announce some exciting news... you'll need to listen to find out.

This show is jam packed, so don't miss it. We hear about Ethan's season guiding hunts in South Dakota, we learn about hunting with his young dogs and how he managed to be successful with such a young string of guide dogs. When do you know your dog is false pointing? How to fix it? We talk about setting up your training environment so the dog is successful and confident. We discuss some of the highlight stories of the year and of course, some blooper moments (we all have 'em). We chat with Ethan and Kat about hunting with two dogs and especially the situation where one dog is younger and one is older. Finally, we hear about our girl, Sammy. Sam spends her hunting season with our mutual buddy, Peter, and she chases birds alllllll overrrrrrrrrrr the place. Sam is a real special dog and we're grateful that she has such a good time hunting with Peter.

Do us a solid.... check out Standing Stone Supply and do yourself a solid by getting your dog geared up properly. Cheers.

For this week's show, Bob sits down with recurring guest and good buddy, KD Mathews, of Socratic Canine and shares some exciting news... He and Bob will be commentating at this year's K9 Street League event! It's like the bite dog and protection dog version of the SRS in the hunting dog world. Bob asks KD a ton of cool questions about the training involved, the types of situations people have to prepare their dog for, how people in the bite suits prepare, etc. and a ton more. The bite dog world is incredible and the crossover between the foundational principles of dog training for them and for the hunting world are similar. Check out KD on his instagram to learn more about his training, his dogs, his philosophy and how to be a better trainer. Cheers.

Tonight we sit down to chat with Cable Smith from the Lone Star Outdoor Show (check him out here) and trade a few hunting stories. We learn how he got into the radio business and how he originally trained his first gundog. We also hear how his passion for the outdoors has evolved and how he now chases wild game all over the US and Africa. He even talks about how to find cool hunts, prices and some misconceptions about hunting in different places. Cable is a super down to earth guy and is an awesome storyteller. It was great to have him on the show and hang out with us for a bit.

Tonight we sit down to chat with our fellow dog man, Tom Davis. The Lone Duck crew is pretty fired up to have Tom on our show because he's a great storyteller and really knows his stuff when it comes to dog behavior.

To kick off the show, we hear the backstory of how Tom got into his first business and how that led into his WILD story of getting into off leash training. We then dig into more of how he is unique in working with dogs and then he and Bob rattle off some Q&A questions from Instagram.

If you want to up your game as a trainer, handler or dog man, then go follow Tom. You'll be thankful you did.

Had a great call last night with one of the greats, Lyle Steinman. Yes, he came back onto the show to catch up and recap his year with Bob. They dig into Master Nationals, The Mamba Challenge, his goals for next year and how they plan to get there. It was pretty interested to hear Lyle talk about goals and how he sets and achieves them.

Then we slide on into some questions from our patreon community. Lyle and Bob run through transitioning dogs from being at the trainers to being at home, casting drills and tips, how Lyle tones down a high-drivin' dog and a bunch more.

A big thanks as always to Lyle. He's one of a kind and has more intricate advice than anyone on the planet. Cheers, everyone.

Holy cow, what a detailed show. Tonight, we had the pleasure of chatting with a repeat guest and awesome guy, Kevin Cheff (The Retriever Coach). He is extremely knowledgeable and is great at breaking down training and information so anyone can understand each step along the way. Oh, and he does seminars you should look into.

Some topics discussed are: dogs with high drive, getting dogs to come out of a kennel nicely, holding blind manners, indirect pressure, handling on marks, blinds, etc.

After we finished the show, Bob turned to me and said "this was one of the best." Thanks for joining us, Kevin.
