We've had a lot of people ask questions about mini t, t pattern, how do you get a dog to sit on a whistle, why does my dog loopy sit, etc., so tonight, we're tackling all of it. Bob and I catch up a little but we dig right into the meat of the show and try to thoroughly explain the process from start to finish and when to notice triggers along the way. These "triggers" are little things to watch for to know when your dog is ready for the next step in the process. We also answer a few other questions that came through Instagram (@loneduck) about breeding, how to choose parents, how to choose breeders and a whole lot more. Tonight's show hit a lot of interesting topics.

Let us know what you think! Cheers.

Tonight's episode was spent chatting with Mike Jones, the founder and head trainer at Primal Canine out in California. Mike is a super knowledgeable guy whose passion for dogs drives his business forward. We hear about Mike's past and how he got into the dog world, we learn about his business and his unique approach to dog training. Unfortunately, we had some time constraints for this show because we struggle with time zone math but we will be having Mike on the show again because we have a whole lot of bite work to talk about.

Mike is the man. If you're interested in learning more about him and his business, check out his website here.

Well, we're not really numbers guys so we missed celebrating our 100th episode, so we're cheersing to 101. To celebrate, Bob and Kevin hit the pistol range, trained some dogs, made fried turkey nuggets and chatted about the last couple years of doing the podcast.

Then, we pepper Lyle with some awesome questions sent in from friends on Patreon and Instagram. Thanks to those who sent in questions, we had a really detailed conversation with Lyle and I think you're going to enjoy it. Cheers to 100 more.

A couple weeks back, we had the pleasure of trading a few stories with Andrew Beam (@beamcountry). He's an absolutely fantastic guy who works hard, writes great songs and knows his way around a fishing pole. In tonight's show, we hear about how Beam took Bob out searching for redfish and a good time. We also hear some wild stories about how he started his career as a DEC officer and then transitioned into the music scene.

If you like country music and good stories, this will be a treat. Cheers to you, my friend.

Tonight, Bob and Kevin chat with our good buddy, Lyle Steinman, from Castile Creek Kennels about how his southern trip is going. Like many people, he has been battling the frigid temps in Texas, which is obviously devastating. On a positive note, we chat about some exciting things happening with his business.

A lot of people ask about doing southern training trips and what it's like and so we pull back the curtain a little. It's interesting to hear Lyle's perspective. He's also been focusing in and crushing it with his dogs.

As always, it's fun to chat with Lyle and hear what he thinks of specific training topics and what's happening in our industry.
