#226 The Importance of a Dogs’ Mental State

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2023/01/11

This has to be one of my favorites of all the episodes, and one near and dear to my heart. Dogs, like people can have mental illness, severe moods, mental and emotional issues. They aren't exactly like us, but they can be similar in the variability in how they perceive their world. When we interact with them, whether in training or regular life, if we first take into account "where their head is" and what they are thinking, or not thinking about, EVERYTHING is immeasurably easier. Here is some

2023/01/06

In 2023's first episode, we discuss the general nature of training. Is it hard to do? How to get started in your area, and do you have to be 'tough' on dogs to be a good dog trainer?

#223 The Philosophy of ”Correction” in any Dog Training

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/12/13

In today's episode, we breakdown what is behind having to "correct" a dog or change their behavior. People often have very strong ideas about this topic, either being extremely lax with their dog, or being extremely strict or punishing to make these changes. Training shouldn't be so much about 'correction', but instead educating. It is a topic which should be discussed a whole lot more than it is.

#222 The Dog Moving into Retirement

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/12/05

This episode is dedicated entirely to the dog that has been a big part of our lives but is now entering its senior years. Though older and not quite as capable, they have no concept of not being able to do everything they ever did. Handling this time of life with love and understanding is as important as your loved ones doing that for you when you are elderly.

#221 All Dogs need ”their thing”

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/11/28

Most behavioral and performance problems stem from a dog either not understanding expectations, or the dog being denied a chance at enjoying its life purpose. Regardless of why any of us has the dog or dogs we have, it is easier to have things the way we want if we understand the needs of our animals, and how to deal with those.

#220 What does it Mean to Learn?

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/11/22

In this episode, we talk about one subject. If you are a trainer of a dog or dogs (or anything else really), do you already know everything to get the job done? Or, do you get the job done by constantly being taught by your dog? It's an interesting examination.... Book and videos available one www.Batesworks.net

#219 Two Listener Questions

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/11/15

In this episode, we address how to get some decent dog work done with very short, very cold days. The 2nd question is about understanding what "making a dog think" really means; what that looks like in the daily life of a dog, and in training. It is actually a multi-level concept.

#218 For the Dog and Handler just Starting out 9-12...

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/11/10

In this episode, I do a podcast for a particular person on the topic of keeping your dog advancing while enjoying the hunting season. Especially if some competitions and titles are going to be part of the dog's future. It isn't a hard thing to do, but when you've never done it before, it can be confusing what to do, how much and how often. This may break it down a little bit for some..

#216 After the 3 Brown Dogs Go Home

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/10/17

This podcast is for 3 clients. I trained 3 brown girls for the year, pointing Labs, all point, retriever and run blind retrieves. The owners are concerned about what to do to keep things going with these fancy ladies, so I decided to give them their own personal podcast. So here we go.... after the wild girls come home.

#215 Teaching Your Dog to be Safe while Hunting

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/10/11

In this episode, the discussion is about teaching your dog to think before acting when in the fevered activity of hunting: their favorite thing on the planet. You can develop awareness and thoughtfulness in a dog, before going through fences, into heavy cover, over ditches, launching into water, etc. If you can take the time to teach them how to keep from hurting themselves, you will never regret it. Lots of crazy things can happen while hunting. Best enjoyed if you both are very prepared,

#214 Using What’s in your Dog’s head and an announcment

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/09/30

In this episode, I talk about the importance of understanding how your dog thinks in your training, and how to use their physical actions to decipher their mental state. I also announce some changes in my personal and professional life.

#213 Two Puppy Related Questions

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/09/16

In this episode, we talk about two of the important aspects of raising any puppy, for anything. One is respect for you and the things in the puppy's world; the other is a personal robustness that readies a dog for whatever comes it way. These two things are most easily established at an early age, making later training and living together much easier and more enjoyable.

#212 The 2022 Triple Crown Event

2022/09/07

In this episode, from the position of judge all 3 days, I try to tell the story of the event. From literal descriptions of the setups, the performances, the emotions and the energy, I try to share what we all experienced this past Labor Day Weekend. In short, phenomenal dogs and gifted handlers. The music was definitely playing....

#211 Two More Listener Questions

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/08/22

In this episode, happening just before a couple of important national events, I address two topics arising recently. 1. Ideas for staying calm and focused (at least as much as possible) while running the big event. 2. What is a 'good judge'? Most of us think we are... but what are some things to think about as a judge? Books and videos available at: www.Batesworks.net

#210 3 Listener Questions about Puppies

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/08/12

In this brief episode, I address 3 questions asked recently by a person in search of a puppy: 1. How do you know whether to get a male or a female? 2. How do you tell if your pup points or not? 3. What do you do after you get it and it points, what then? Just my experiences I use to answer, but these are very common concerns.

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/08/03

In this episode, we talk about the components to your training and your dog, flushing or pointing, necessary to have a safe, efficient and very enjoyable upland hunt. Waterfowl as well of course. Most of the elements we train for to compete serve equally well for the hunter: diligence to go as directly as possible to the bird, desire to waste as little unnecessary energy as possible, and the understanding that this is an activity done with you, not in spite of you. Not hard if you train with

In this episode, I address the issue of a 6 month old puppy pulling on the leash and "ignoring" training pressure, along with getting a pup to retrieve with treats. Differences in training philosophies usually just comes down to personal preferences and perspectives. An interesting discussion...
