Every hunt camp is different depending on the people. Some camps are more focused on hunting while others are more social and relaxed in nature. This camp was a bit of both but was ultimately a result of getting a group of true dog nerds together who share the same admiration and passion for thoughtful approaches to dog development.

I stopped off while on my way up to the Northwoods for a few weeks with Jordan Horak of Cato Outdoors .

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!

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

Some quick announcements and housekeeping
A new puppy?!?
From camper to mobile truck camping. A summary of my new system
Getting to Montana with a stop off in MN

Some bad luck starts
Getting to camp and really breaking in the new shotgun!

A little bad luck persists
Getting home and preparing for OCT!

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

There is a ton of information, opinions, concerns, and concepts out there when it comes to training dogs with electronic collars. One of the most qualified people in the dog training space to speak on the subject is Justin Rigney of K9 Services Unlimited.
WATCH HERE
Justin landed in dog training and became a "professional student"
What even is an "E-collar"
Make the dogs addicted to the equipment
When to introduce the E-collar
Charging the stimulation
Opposition reflex
The dopamine box
The E-collar is not just for brakes and corrections
Justin's thoughts on the individual manufacturers of E-collars
Dogs learn vis tactile pressure and our intentions do not matter!
The benefits of an E-collar with a finger kick
Different points of contact. Even on the tail?!?
Pairing the E-collar with their nose?
Momentary and continuous pressure confusion
Be consistent in your commands and cues
Activation stim becoming aversive stim?
The dog must wear the tool frequently
