As requested, we asked our audience for some questions to fill the off season time and we have a lot to go over.    www.eukanubasportingdog.com www.riverstonekennels.com www.retrieverroadmap.com  

E-collars are very controversial tools. Many think that they should be banned and outlawed. Many others work with them to transform the lives of dogs and their relationships with their families. Much of this divide seems to be centered around people's experience levels with these tools. As with most things in life,  knowledge, and experience are required in order to be able to make informed decisions on these tools. Dogtra has been doing more to help expand the availability of accurate information than most. They sent over Lorraine and Pete to chat with us. In this episode, we discuss the ways in which they've been doing that. We discuss what Dogtra is doing to help push against proposed e-collar sales bans in New York and San Fransisco. As well as answering FAQs and dispelling some myths surrounding the tools. Thanks for listening!And be sure to check out our coupon code for Dogtra's website!

Buddy would love to just go hunting and not have to worry about testing equipment, but after the last results kept him awake thinking about what could be the reasons behind the data, he just couldn't help himself.  Buddy hit the woods again and changed some things around.  We did not want to give the advantage to one or the other so we swapped units and the placement of antennas to make sure things were fair.  Things may not have been as lopsided as we thought.  follow along and checkout the data on our youtube video  (1) Hound Podcast: Double U Bonus Follow up Test of the Antenna results - YouTube

In part one of the antenna trilogy, Buddy gives a basic crash course in exactly what goes into an antenna, what things can contribute or take away an antenna range, and what to consider when fine tuning an antenna.  You will hear Buddy reference some supporting images/documents so make sure to check out the links below to get an idea of what the guys are attempting to explain.   Make sure to tune back in for part 2 where we dig deeper into some antenna questions and also to part 3 when we are able to conclude our testing of some of the top recommended antennas in the dog tracking market! Show notes 1   :   Discussing Gain. https://www.daywireless.com/blog/2019/03/30/to-gain-or-not-to-gainthat-is-the-antenna-question/Antenna Fundamentals:https://www.antenna-theory.com/basics/main.phpShow Notes 2: Understanding the 5/8 wave antenna https://practicalantennas.com/designs/verticals/5eights/   

It's that time of the year where we get to see our duck dogs perform on a daily basis! We get to witness them doing what they were born to do! But what did it take to get to this point? Off season training and maintenance is everything and that is exactly why we are proud to have Pete Fischer with DOGTRA back on the show! Pete joins Chad to discuss current topics relating to the sporting dog world and events and gives a little insight on some advocacy that is coming up that we all need to be aware of us as dog owners and trainers! The episode is brought to you by DOGTRA, Eukanuba Premium Performance, Sig Sauer Freedom, and Avery Sporting Dog.

In this episode, Josh recaps a local Wisconsin duck hunt and discusses a mental approach that he uses in dog training and life that revolves around a stoplight.   Eukanubasportingdog.com Riverstonekennels.com Retrieverroadmap.com

You're probably putting it on your dog wrong. His training collar, that is. Got a question about e-collars or GPS collars? Dogtra's Pete Fischer has the answer. We'll dig deep into new technology, practical application of it, better ways to look at and use these tools in the yard and the field. Pete also suggests rules to live by in the field, how a dog thinks, and the strategy behind pressing the stim button. You tell us if you're using a new shotgun this season and why, and we explore a public-access hunting spot in Missouri.

Welcome welcome. Tonight's show was with our buddy, Doug, from Soggy Dog Gear. He's an awesome guy who enjoys training dogs and telling tales. Doug lives out in Michigan and that lucky dog happens to live in some prime bird hunting area (I'm not jealous or anything, it's fine). Anyway, we have a great time talking about how Doug got started working with dogs, new products from his dog supply company, a contest Doug is putting together for amateur trainers, Dogtra products he likes and possibly my favorite part of the conversation... we talk about fire breathing, pumped up, high drive dogs and how to handle them. Doug happens to own a fire breather and he and Bob talk a lot about obedience, ways to work with those kinds of dogs, lessons learned from k9 handlers, etc. We'll have to have Doug back on the show sometime because 1. he's the man and 2. we had a great conversation and I want to hear more about some grouse action.

Mark stops by the shop after picking up his new snowmobile.

If you're not already, many of you (and me) will soon be sick and tired of cold temperatures and snow and ice. If you're lucky, you can migrate south. I've got some suggestions on general destinations for bird hunting where the ground is clear and a light jacket might be just enough. (It's heavy on the West because that's where I go) but there should be a starting point for almost everyone.There's also a dozen or so tips and tricks I've picked up from pro guides, seasoned hunters and dog handlers ... plus a few of my own that could save you time, money, and aggravation. From water storage to travel hacks, you might learn something of use on your next hunting trip.I'll also offer an alternative to pricey dog boots, too, in the "Handle It" segment.It's all brought to you by these sponsors:Cabela's, Sage & Braker Mercantile, Electronic Shooters Protection, Dogtra, Dr. Tim's performance dog food; Happy Jack, FindBirdHuntingSpots.com and Gunner.Take advantage of great deals from many of our sponsors: 10% off and free shipping on most purchases over $200 at Dogtra with the code SLUN10 (plus sale prices on many collar-transmitter bundles); win a Pointer shotgun at FindBirdHuntingSpots.com; 30% off your first order from Dr. Tim's performance dog food with the code UPLANDNATION; and free shipping for your Gunner kennel.

I'm outlining the things I use that would make great gifts no matter what you celebrate: Christmas, Hanukah, Festivus or the solstice. Any size budget, for hunters with two or four legs, every one of these would make a wonderful addition - under the tree or in a stocking that's been hung with care.Naught or nice, the list includes everyone and has been checked twice - you're on it. Have your spouse listen too - just in case! And what you and your fellow hunters think are the most critical factors affecting our sport.Plus, more practical gifts: a guerilla tactic for hard-hunted public ground, and advice for those who own hard keepers who won't eat after a hunt.It's all brought to you by these sponsors:Cabela's, Sage & Braker Mercantile, Electronic Shooters Protection, Dogtra, Dr. Tim's performance dog food; Happy Jack, FindBirdHuntingSpots.com and Gunner.Take advantage of great deals from many of our sponsors: 10% off and free shipping on most purchases over $200 at Dogtra with the code SLUN10 (plus sale prices on many collar-transmitter bundles); win a Pointer shotgun at FindBirdHuntingSpots.com; 30% off your first order from Dr. Tim's performance dog food with the code UPLANDNATION; and free shipping for your Gunner kennel.

Author of the classic book Absolutely Positively Gundog Training, Robert Milner talks philosophy and practical applications of his minimalist-positive-science based approach to training.Milner founded Wildrose Kennels, "retired," then founded www.duckhillkennels.com, where he trains British Labradors in ways you may not know about yet or even agree with! A student of "horse whisperer" Ray Hunt, Milner talks about the right number of training days per week and times per day to get maximum performance from your dog. He outlines why "punishment" or "correction" are superfluous if you read your dog well and reward the expected behavior, and what types of reward work.Creating neural pathways that create "right" behaviors, from the very start, ignoring misbehavior, and how B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning research can be applied to dogs ... all are part of a wide-ranging discussion that only scratches the surface.Milner gives us mini-lessons in recall, retrieve, and steadiness to wing-shot-fall, suggests the one most important command, and offers solutions to the problems his clients' dogs have most often.Milner was a pioneer in importing British-style Labradors to the U.S., and he'll also outline how those dogs differ from American-style retrievers, and how English field trials work.Plus, my own tip on a slightly-different way to look at public land access and information, a hard-earned lesson in yard training, gear discounts and a chance to win a Pointer shotgun.
