Pro spaniel trainer Todd Agnew of Craney Hill Kennels answers questions about cockers and Springers, Labs, and puppy training. We do a deep dive into how dogs think and why we ought to think about that, a foundation for retrieving training, and how to break commands into manageable pieces and why. In addition to a few hunting tips, he'll outline the most important aspects of a habitat for finding birds. Todd outlines how to build a relationship with your dog - and why it is the critical first factor in training, and how a cow's femur bone is critical to retrieving training.
"Road Trip" helps get your s*#t together in the truck, and listeners chime in on their favorite post-hunt libations.
