Not all professional gun dog trainers have the land and resources that are typically associated with training gun dogs. Josh Wiggins of Houston Dog Works joins me for a wide ranging conversation on his training perspectives that affords him the capability to train sporting dogs while living and operating in a major city such as Houston, TX. This is also what motivated him to start his new company Gundog Garage!
Watch Here!
Behavior modifications are the same as regular training
Dog training pricing and gun dogs vs pet dogs
Dog training is dog training BUT not all dog trainers are dog trainers
Genetics absolutely matter! But they aren't everything!
Genetics can overshadow training but training can also overshadow genetics
Are you actually a 'team' if the dog is simply working to get it's own reward?
Clarity of the release
Management can and does fail
Accountability is not always in line with fairness
Dogs mistaking your kindness for weakness. (Letting them sleep in bed???)
Dont skip steps. The dog SHOULDN'T know better.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Training gun dogs in urban environments with Gundog Garage
People don't know what they don't know
The tool doesn't change. Only its application
Care as much about the dogs attitude as you do about the actual behavior

Nate Czarnota of Iron Oak Dog Company sits down with me after his training seminar to discuss a number of topics that were addressed throughout the weekend.
WATCH HERE
What was the goal of putting on this style of a seminar?
Active dog, reactive handler
Leash and line management
Be comfortable being uncomfortable
Anyone thats really advanced is truly just good at the basics
Pressure that both handlers and dogs are okay with
Keeping the good attitude throughout
"Space between the notes"
Hope has to be higher than the struggle
Room service and removing the "competition"
Allow the dog to experience consequences
The power of a check chord and back pressure
The most efficient path to the reward is through us
Maximizing intensity while maintaining stability via room service as opposed to mark and release
Direct and indirect reward examples through Force Fetch
Shaping behaviors doesn't mean we don't obtain the "have to" element
The importance of "aquariums"
Balancing the language and theory with hands on application
Other influences and resources to explore

In this episode, we explore the value of continuous learning and the importance of embracing new perspectives in dog training. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's always room to grow by stepping outside your comfort zone. I'm joined by Randall Lykens of Liberty Canine, Justin Rigney of K9 Services Unlimited, Tim Andrews, and Chris Armanini of Full Send K9 for an insightful discussion on how trainers in the gun dog community—and beyond—can benefit from incorporating fresh approaches into their training routines.
Watch Here!
The dog's perception of pressure while in drive
Impulse control and the value of the dog taking a lesser reward while in drive
You may THINK you want the dog with the highest drive....
Charged markers and owning the dog's stomach via food
Why do these guys train the way they do?
Create a world where the dog cant self reward!
Getting the enthusiasm WITH the control
People's reluctance to consider new approaches
Everything evolves
Women are better trainers and the impact that has had within dog breeding
Preparing for pressure and theres not a one way fix for everything
Old school pressure on/pressure off training gets boring. Make training ENJOYABLE again
What is actually in it for the dog to retrieve?
Teaching the out and how Force Fetch can actually be used to fix barking and leaking
You are your own architect to your training process. Make some art!
The dogs are constantly analyzing us
The hardest aspect of training is the human
Dogs are master manipulators and ALWAYS studying you!

With the much anticipated early bird hunting season finally upon us in a few weeks, I've received quite a number of emails and messages concerned about snakes and questions about the Rattlesnake Vaccine so I thought it would be worth republishing the episode I recorded last year with Chris Jenkins of the Orianne Society where we talked everything snakes and how it pertains to all of us with dogs.
Why are we doing a snake episode?
Addressing the fear of snakes
The overlap of bird and reptile populations
Do specific snakes smell differently than others for a dog?
Types of venomous snakes and the regions they are found
"Safe" temperatures for snakes to stay underground
