Hold the Line

Listener questions about how to encourage a dog to hunt wider/more confidently; how to increase food motivation in a puppy; and how much retrieving is too much (physically).

Probs with cold game retrieves and a couple of questions about aversives

In this highly unusual episode(!), I waffle (because usually I don't, right?) about the clicker retrieve and recalls and long-lines.

In this episode, I recommend my favourite wellies, boots, coats, training vests, dummies, leashes, treat pouches and more.I also answer listener questions about pointing, marker cues and the 'Go Sniff' exercise in my book.

In this episode, I waffle freely (extremely freely) about training the HPR sequence - with an attempt to give something of an overview, instead of getting lost in how to train any one behaviour in detail. 

This episode takes a look at the issue of over-population and the increasing amount of restrictions that dogs face as a result. I offer some solutions. I'm not very hopeful anything will be implemented in time to avoid the blanket 'all dogs must be on leash everywhere' outcome.

In this episode, I talk about 18 month old Roche - our weimaraner. Who is bonkers-crazy, when it comes to hunting. I give you seven tips, for training high drive gundogs.
