Upland Nation

Senior test judge on training steadiness, retrieving, water work, praise ... and Mearns quail hunting


Listen Later

Ruth Weiss is a senior judge in the NAVHDA testing system as well as an active handler with 74 dogs tested including two versatile champions. She's seen it all and will share her insights on everything from steadiness to retrieving (advice for all levels), introducing a pup to water, and how and when to use praise. She's also an avid bird hunter and offers insights on handling a dog in the field as well as a peek into the world of Mearns quail. Her upbeat attitude is contagious and springs from a love of dogs and how they think.

"Fix It" suggests one time when praise is the wrong thing to provide, and listeners chip in with the bird species they hunted most last season.
