Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles

Last night, Bob and Kevin sit down to continue our conversation about the proper way to teach your dog force fetch. If you haven't listened to episode 43 yet, then go back and do that first so this one makes sense. This is generally a sensitive topic because there's a lot of people who don't understand this technique and there's a lot of people doing it wrong. Well, we want to help educate people about force fetch and you can make the decision for yourself.

Topics include: ear pinch walking fetch, collar walking fetch, ladder & beginning force to pile and a few questions from our Instagram live session. As always, thank you for your support.

Pull up a seat, we're going to talk a little force fetch tonight. We get questions every day about force fetch like when do I start? How long does it take? What if my dog is too old, young, soft, stubborn, small, big, etc. Well, tonight we're starting our two part series on every single inch of force fetch. Let us know what you think in our DMs @loneduck.

Thank you to everyone for all the kind words, feedback and reviews. You're awesome and please know you're greatly appreciated.

PS. Had a few technical difficulties with mics tonight, not sure why but please be patient. I'm on it.

It feels good to be back in action. Apologies for the lull in shows but things were quite busy over the past few weeks, as we'll get into during the show.

Bob and Kevin sit down to review the past few weeks filled with Golden Retriever puppies and a trip to Master National with Memphis, Ember and Cruz. Bob describes the set up for each series and shares how each dog performed. We are proud and humbled with the outcome of this competition and are excited to share it with everyone who supported Lone Duck during The Stashional.

I think this show got a little more emotional than we expected. It's an incredible experience when long hours of hard work and grit pays off. As a bonus, we learn about Bob's bowels, too.

Happy hunting season and hey, cheers to you guys.

Tonight's show is a good one and certainly interesting. Bob is down at Blaine Tarnecki's house training and they're gearing up for Master National. We talk through the dogs that are running, how they're getting set for the competition and some solid Q&A. Now, the Q&A that we had come through this week was honestly tough. One of the most asked questions we receive is how to be a dog trainer or how awesome is it to "just play with dogs all day." Well, tonight we lift the hood and share with everyone what it's really like. It's unique and I hope you can appreciate the honesty and transparency we're trying to share.

PS. The audio was a bit funky but I'm working on it.

Howdy folks. Bob and I sat down last night to talk through his morning walking the fields and dense woods alongside friends and some of our favorite dogs. To my surprise, he actually dropped a couple beautiful birds and he breaks down the whole trip for us, it's a pretty good story. Bob and I also discuss a few housekeeping items, including cool Gunner products and Birdie's pregnancy. If you're interested in a red Golden pup, DM us at @loneduck on Instagram.

We also jump into some fantastic Q&A from friends in our community (thanks for writing in and following along!) about all things retriever training and even a little follow up on Huey's Utility Test. We dig into whistle sits, things that can go awry at Junior tests, the best order to run at a test, running blinds and a whole lot more. Crack a cold one, sit down and enjoy-- I know I did.

This week Bob and Kevin review the weekend action over a cold, camo buschhhhh. Bob had an exciting and successful Utility Test with Huey, a gritty, blue collar GSP, so we learn a little about his time with that. We also get to hear about Thinkin' Lincoln's first goose hunt. He did well and it was a great training exercise for everyone involved; we talk about how people could apply this to their own dog's first hunt. Finally, we dig into some big news in the Lone Duck world.

Cheers.

Tonight's show features our good friend, Wes Chester. Wes is an incredibly knowledgeable dog trainer down in Georgia and we talk a wholeee lot about HRC tests and what it takes to pass a few of 'em. We also trade a few stories about hunting down south and learn that Wes knows his way around some flooded timber. Bob and I really enjoyed tonight's show and laughed the whole time.

Hey, cheers to hunting season.
