Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles

This week, Bob and Kevin chat with our good buddy, Oliver Burman, from Foundation Retrievers. Oliver and Bob go way back and discuss the ol' days of the Clemson Retrievers Club and how Oliver got into the dog training world. We then get into a solid conversation about how to build the foundation for a dog and the right ways to build a pup into a hunting dog. We also dig into breaking after some birds and how Oliver works with his personal/client dogs to ensure safety for everyone.

This is an awesome show and we really enjoyed catching up with Oliver. If you're down south and you're looking for someone to coach your dog, he's a great choice.

Welcome welcome. It has been a very long time since we've chatted with our good buddy, Blaine, from Hudson River Retrievers and we're glad he's back. Tonight, we get to hear about Blaine's summer of training dogs and fishing. Blaine has done a little traveling this summer and shares about his time at various hunt tests and how the dogs on his truck are doing.

After, we dig into a question we get alllllll the time: how do I properly collar condition my dog?

If you're interested in learning about collar conditioning or if you think you could learn a trick or two, Blaine and Bob break it down into great detail.

Thanks to Blaine for coming on the show, it's always a good time. Cheers.

For this week's show, Bob and Kevin settle in over a cup of coffee for our first morning show. We're currently taking a few days off to fish and unwind and wanted to answer some awesome questions from the Lone D Community. Topics discussed: Bob's fishing skills, problem solving with lining drills, collar conditioning advice, wearing white on long marks and whoa action with GSPs.

Finally, we nailed down dates for our tune up weekend before hunting season rolls around. If you're interested in joining us for some all day Saturday & half day Sunday personal training, then fill out the survey in our social media profiles. It's a first come first serve sort of deal and we only have room for 15 dogs to join.

Yup, tonight's show is a goodie. We had the pleasure of chatting with our good buddy, Dakota Mealer, a fine shootin' duck hunter and an even more talented pro dog trainer. We reminisce a little about our Arkansas hunt a few years back (pssst... we should go again!), we learn about how Dakota first started hunting for coons and quail in the Georgia woods and then made his way over to waterfowl. He's been in the game for a long time and is extremely knowledgeable about training and bringing the best out of his dogs. In fact, we spend the bulk of the show comparing/contrasting techniques for force work, t pattern and how to problem solve with a dog. Listen carefully because this is a very educational show, especially if you're looking to fine tune your dog OR go hit up Dakota at Goldhill Retrievers in Auburn, Alabama.

This week's show we meet with a buddy who is no stranger to the hunt test game or a duck blind, Jimmy Rodgers. He has been in the hunting, guiding, dog handling world for a long, long time and has a few tricks up his sleeves and fortunately, he shares a few tonight. Jimmy dabbles in a little bit of both worlds in that he has competed at The Grand and the Master National, so we hear his take on both. We also do a little shot for shot with him and hear an in depth look at heeling sticks, feeding routines, (not professional) thoughts on bloat, advice for people looking for guided hunts, over-pressuring dogs with collar work, how Jimmy is bringing us to Alaska and more.... but really... hold him to it.
