2022/07/04

In this episode I breakdown the problem and solution approach for two things: 1. A dog that will not get out from underfoot to hunt and 2. A dog that will run through any collar pressure to chase a bird. Oddly similar approach to what seems to be opposite issues.

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/06/29

In this episode, I use a problem a person had with their dog that stemmed from a lack of trust, instead of any inadequacy on the dogs' part. Often, we overlook the importance of teaching the dog they can always count on our consistency and honesty... puppies and advanced dogs.

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/05/16

In this 199th episode, I talk about the single topic of basing your training on what your dog's behavior is telling. You need to assess what is on your dog's mind, more than just what their behavior is. It is an important topic for those with young dogs (and those with older dogs.)

#193 The Critical Importance of Basic Obedience

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/03/06

In this episode, I break down what "Basic Obedience" actually is, and why it is the life-saving, problem-solving tool that leads to most training success. It is far simpler than most people think but requires a great deal of clarity and attention. Even veteran dog people can improve things with this approach. Never a bad thing to practice... www.Batesworks.net

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/02/22

In this episode, based upon a suggestion for a podcast, I talk about the various reasons a dog which was performing well may begin to exhibit poorer performance consistently. There can be a number of reasons for this and it's always better to consider what may have happened before taking any action to address it. Not the simplest topic in the world. www.Batesworks.net

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2022/01/30

In the 3rd in the series of Building Your Dog, this episode breaks down the importance to teaching your dog to take responsibility for its' actions. Dogs can and should learn to understand common situations in their lives and adjust their behavior appropriately. This is a skill however, not something that always comes naturally.
