#377 Raising a Dog - any Dog - Part I

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2025/11/17

In today's episode, we breakdown the importance of puppy raising. It has been found that the earliest years of a human infant carry extreme significance to the ultimate well-being of that person. It is also very true with our canines, and all of them, not just the performance dogs. This is the first in a series of puppy raising aspects all too often ignored.

2025/10/13

In this 2-part podcast, most of the RMPLC members who make up the Triple Crown attendees talk about their experiences, and how it impacts their lives, families and dogs. Each one has at least one or more TC2 dogs, some APLA HOF dogs and one of the only 3 TC3 dogs in the galaxy. Turns out it's not just a great dog, or a gifted handler. It's hard, hard work, dedication, surviving failure and just loving these animals enough to keep going. Hope you enjoy it!

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

As the title states, we talk about dogs doing things they "never did before" or changing in their normal response to you in training or worst of all -a test.

#368 The Power of Sit

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2025/07/31

In today's episode, we break down the mental benefit of teaching sit thoroughly and as early as you can without detracting from the desire to retrieve. Including pointing retrievers. It is a taught response that will be highly valuable in more advanced training, but we rarely look at it that way.

#366 Canine Mental Health

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2025/07/07

In today's very delayed podcast, we discuss the oft ignored aspect of a dog - it's mental health and well-being. This is tied directly to physical health as well, and is usually diagnosed as "stubborn", "stupid", "crazy",etc. Developing a well-balanced dog begins when you bring them home, and for the breeder, in the first 8 weeks. Mental health for humans is often overlooked or undervalued, and this is certainly true for our canine buddies.

#355 A Podcast for my Advanced Clients

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2025/05/26

Dog training and handling is a process, not a destination. Training effectively and efficiently requires a great deal from the teacher, and it is an ongoing process. There is so much more to successfully managing this, it's hard to put into words. We break down some of what I'm talking about here. It's not about doing what someone told you to do. It's about teaching and operating from a clear understanding of your animal.

#353 Planting Upland Birds

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2025/04/08

Based on some questions from our recent Handling Seminar, we address the question of planting birds in the upland field. The assumption that there is 'a way' to do it is not entirely correct. There are a number of considerations before training an upland dog and determining how to plant each training session.
