281. A BALANCED Approach to Dog Training

Gun Dog It Yourself

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!
