Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles

This is a slightly different show than our usual training how to's and it's great. You know that buddy you don't see as often as you'd like but when you do, you end up staying up late trading stories, stacking empties and it's like you never skipped a beat with your old hunting buddy? Well, meet Dave. We hear about Dave's first impression of Bob, we hear HIS version of that one lone duck that cupped into the decoys and much more. Enjoy the show.

Do you want to go hunting? We're going to do an all expenses paid hunting trip for a patreon buddy of ours for next season. Check it out here: patreon.com/loneduckoutfitters

Welcome back for another goodie. Tonight, Bob and Kevin kick back to run through some hunting updates for our season. Bob went out hunting with our ol' gal Safe (remember her?) and had a good time. We also jump into some deer updates on Bob's new property and learn about deer hunting in the snow. We alsoooooo have a pretty cool announcement as we're still navigating this whole patreon deal so definitely look into that. Long story short, let's go hunting.

Welcome welcome. Tonight was pretty great as we were able to enjoy a little time with Papa Blaine and hear about the Boykin National Field Trials. Blaine talks through the tests, what it looked like, what the dogs had to do, the judging and even caps it off with some advice for proper weiner retrieval. As always, it's fantastic to have our good buddy, Blaine, on the show because he's so incredibly knowledgeable and easygoing. Cheers to you, Blaine.... Bob owes you one.

Nothing like a little chaos to create an impromptu week of training and fun, am I right? Well, that's what happened and we ended up being home for the Free Spirit Gun Dogs crew and we are grateful to have them. We sat down to have a handful of laughs with Molly Boland, an extremely talented dog trainer, hunting guide and overall badass. We kick off the show chatting with Molly about her early years and hear some cool hunting stories from moose to caribou to spearfishing, hand lining & hunting sea ducks in Alaska. We then jump into some good training advice and even hear questions from our close friends on Patreon. We then jump onto Instagram Live to laugh and chat with people about their dogs and offer advice to help them achieve their training goals.

Tonight's show was pretty special and I think if you listen, you'll feel that. We truly had a good time chatting with Molly and learning from her. She's an absolute inspiration and like I said, we're grateful to be friends with her & Beth.

We can just start by saying that tonight's show was pretty awesome. We had the opportunity to sit down and chat with our buddy, Lyle Steinman, before the SRS Championship. We begin our show hearing about Lyle's summer and the tough losses he's endured. Man, I've been there and it's devastating. We then pick up the positivity and learn about how Lyle's been training his dogs and pushing himself to the max in preparation for the SRS. We also hear some detailed training advice from Lyle in regards to swim by, decheating and a lot more.

I'm pumped because we were able to connect our Patreon friends with Lyle and they asked some good training questions for him. If you'd like to join and receive cool perks like that, then hit up this link here.

Good luck to Lyle and all of our friends at the SRS this year. Cheers.

Oh hey there. Let's jump into another goodie (for the second time because I screwed up the file for the first interview) with Russ Kelley from Eukanuba. Russ has been a dog guy for years and has owned all sorts of hunting dogs. He's also been a driving force for dog nutrition for his whole career and we're lucky to chat with him and answer a few questions about how to best fuel our dogs. This is a super interesting show because of how knowledgable Russ is and because Eukanuba recently launched their new food and Russ tells us all about the what and the why behind it.

Thanks to Russ and the Eukanuba team for supporting our show and for constantly pushing themselves to be better for our dogs. They have a simple mission and it's certainly something we can get behind. Check out their site to learn more.

Bob and Kevin sit down to answer a few interesting questions we've received lately about gun dog training. We also flip on the ol' Instagram Live and chat with friends, hear about a new puppy, how the hunting season has been so far (mehh could be better), and a lot more.

Tonight's episode was pretty awesome and I hope you enjoy yourself. It's always great to chat with people live and get to know them and their dogs a little. Do you have questions about training, dogs, hunting or who knows, maybe you'd like some dear abby advice, we can do that, too.... hit us up on Instagram @loneduck.

This week, Bob and Kevin sit down over a beer to reminisce about the fantastic weekend we had. We were fortunate to have a bunch of great people and their talented dogs come hang out, train, eat, drink and be merry with us. We put together a little weekend workshop for amateur trainers and we talk about what everyone learned, force fetch, t pattern, wagon wheel, walking fetch, blinds, force to a pile, holy cow the list goes on. We also had a pretty solid party after the long day, gave away some cool prices and enjoyed ourselves around the bonfire just trading hunting stories. We received such great feedback about our workshop that we'll certainly be doing more in the future.

Then we jump on Instagram Live to chat with friends and answer a little Q&A and things get good. I'd highly encourage you to hop on the ol' IG next time we do a live show because it's super handy to see visuals during explanations.

We've pretty grateful for our Lone Duck community and for those who came to the workshop. Cheers to you all.

Tonight we share a lot of laughs with our old pal, Ethan Pippitt, from Standing Stone Kennels and our buddy Dr. Peter Armstrong, DVM. Peter and Ethan flew into town for a quick trip to talk about dogs and learn more about the Lone Duck Dog program. We had a full day of running dogs and then settled into a good podcast to hear about Peter's interesting experiences as a vet, driving cattle, his hunting trips and his super cool dogs. I happen to consider myself a dog guy, but Peter just puts me to shame. I learned quite a bit in this episode and also laughed pretty hard.

Oh, did I mention we have NEW stuff on our website? Check it out and support us!

This week we recorded our 75th episode of Lone Duck's Gun Dog Chronicles and we're real excited for it. We had the opportunity to speak with Carson Wentz from Eukanuba's Wentz Bros Outdoors and boy did we have a good time. He is one of the most down to earth, genuine guys around. With such a busy schedule, he makes it a priority to spend time outside, unwinding and enjoying a good hunt beside his dog. We learn a little about how Carson got into hunting, training his own dogs and he even provides that I think can apply to a lot of people. We also chat a little about his foundation and other passions in his life.

Big shout out to Eukanuba and Carson for coming to hang for a bit. There's some new sporting dog food and a new season of WBO that you should check out... you won't be disappointed.
