In this episode, I continue the discussion of training puppies and getting them ready to start hunting. In phase III, I discuss sight release of game and how to create hunting-like scenarios for your pup/young dog to help them become a future hunting partner. After this episode, listeners will have more tools when starting puppies. Starting puppies can be an enriching task, especially when you do it yourself, and Thought of A Dog Man teamed up with Bawlin Out Kennels to help.

On this episode, we continue the discussion on starting puppies. This phase is based on introducing the pups to live game for training using live traps. I want to discuss options for allowing you and your pups the best possible start. We also discuss ways I want to introduce pups to live game and some things to consider during the training process to avoid pitfalls and setbacks while working with your pup on live game.

In this episode, I discuss the first phase of starting your hunting dog. The foundation is essential to set yourself up for long-term success. I walk through the first steps and some tips to get your pup on the right track. The discussion is around how I like to get my young dogs, and how it does not require a lot of tools and items, but being willing to give it a reasonable faith effort, a new handler can accomplish great things. Please take a listen and share with a new handler to help them in their hunting dog journey.
