294. Train MORE with LESS!

I stopped off while on my way up to the Northwoods for a few weeks with Jordan Horak of Cato Outdoors . We hung out and ran some dogs through a few drills then sat down to record this conversation in which we talk about some hurdles or challenges for a lot of folks wanting to train their own bird dogs. Watch Here! The impact of wild bird populations on how we train. You don't need land and birds everyday to train a bird dog. Develop a language with the dog Find the highest common denominator Keeping sessions short and incremental. For both kids and dogs! Avoid being a greedy trainer Develop the dogs like a kid but don't TREAT them like a kid The dog worlds getting better about timelines and drive management Theres no ribbons given out for training Starting with a win Eventually you may have to push them through Sometimes they have to do it. Other times, do we really care? Pull away just one nuggets from these podcasts Small adjustments and building the toolbox You have to be able to adjust and not stick to just one way It should be FUN!
