"Nature Is Medicine" With Tony Peterson Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles podcast

1:34:02

Today we had the pleasure of chatting with our buddy, Brandon Sweesy, from Northern Air Retrievers . Brandon has been on our show before and trains dogs with the best of 'em. Here's a few highlights from the show: We catch up with Brandon and hear about his winter trip We dig pretty deep into new rules for AKC hunt tests and they're trying to address a problem-- which is great, but this is not the solution. We're tired of the "pros vs amateurs" conflict because we should all be on the same team. Getting dogs to the Master Nationals is truly special. Getting dogs to pass is an emotional roller coaster.

Today we get to hear from our good buddy, Kevin Cheff, The Retriever Coach with his advice for building memory with younger dogs. Kevin works through the fine details of how you can get younger dogs (puppies too) to look out and develop memory on multiple marks. Here's a few highlights from the show: Holding younger dogs during marks and facing them in the correct direction Each mark should be 5-6 yards at most Get the dog to think there's always another mark out there and to be excited about it Don't forget to use short grass, white bumpers with the sun behind you and use a long lead. Be sure to check out Kevin's Fetch Program, which is open right now. You can find the details for this here .
