#315 The Conflicted Dog

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/05/15

Poor behaviors, new training problems, confusing troubles, generally stem from the dog being in a situation it cannot manage, is confused or is disheartened or distrustful. But very few of us look at things this way. Understanding the inner nature of your dog can often be quite useful in problem solving.

#314 The Magic Side of Dog Training

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/05/06

Today's episode is just a couple stories. Stories of things that happened with dogs, not because of the training principles used, not because of any expert advice, but because the individuals really wanted it with their dog. And when done with sincerity and belief, they did it. Hugely inspirational to me over the years..

#313 "She never does that in training!"

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/04/30

For those who test their dogs in any venue, we've all had the day when we were prepared, paid the entry, drove the distance, only to have our dog do something it has never done before. We are dejected and mystified. Here are a few ideas that might help in preventing the unexplainable.

#312 Breaking Down Training Problems

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/04/22

In today's "Tests are happening now" episode, we talk about how to best prepare your student for success. I have found it isn't by practicing game day setups to get ready for gameday, but by understanding your pupil's psychology, behavior, fitness and ability to grasp the necessary concepts. Then work with these to prepare them to handle whatever the judges are throwing at them, good or not so good. Best answer to a questionable judge is a well-trained dog...

#3111 Revisiting Force Fetch Step 3

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/04/15

Today we move past the obedience and moving hold and teach the dog to fetch the bumper with the single command. In doing this part humanely and with thought, the dog is taught that it controls the training pressure, and that by responding, there is no pressure at all. A critical part of the force fetch process, particularly if handling is part of the training plan.

#310 Revisiting Force Fetch Step 2

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/04/08

Following the previous podcast, this episode takes us from teaching 'hold' in a stationary and calm position, to teaching 'hold' while moving and carrying out basic obedience exercises. This is the next logical step to ultimately getting your dog to deliver all retrieves calmly to hand and prepare for advanced handling work. Always more easily done if broken down to pieces that make real sense to the dog.

#309The Force Fetch for Someone Who has Never Done it...

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/04/01

Lots of horror stories about this process which teaches good bird handling and is the first step of teaching the handling process. If you've seen it done in a hard way, it would scare you away. Many of us are afraid or insecure about undertaking this step in dog training, but these feelings come primarily from not understanding what's really going on between you, your dog and the ultimate objective. This is the first in a series of the 'how-to's' and the 'why's' a person new to this training can

#308 The Human Factor in Your Training

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/03/25

In today's early spring episode, we talk not about the dogs, but about you. The human factor IS the limiting factor in our dog training. Who we are and how we see and interpret things determines the outcomes. We can require our canines come into our human arena, or we can ask more of ourselves and go into theirs.... it's a choice.

#307 Commands and Useful Communication

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/03/18

In today's episode, we break down the difference between "making noise" and useful and clear communication with your dog. To effectively teach a dog anything, you must first establish a relationship in which the dog respects you and actually wants to be taught some new things. This is most easily accomplished when you communicate in a way natural to a dog, and often sabotaged by implementing our human way of communicating. Many training problems originate from our thinking we're teaching one

#305 The Fearful or Disinterested Dog in Training

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/03/12

In this episode, we discuss the approach to training a dog that is fearful of things it encounters in training and daily life, and the same for the dog that has a mild interest in the work for which you got it. It can often be accomplished, but it isn't a quick fix and takes an understanding and commitment on our part in training them.

#305 Puppy Raising - How to Teach them to be Problem...

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/03/04

In this episode, which is continued discussion of the important elements in puppy upbringing, we breakdown how to teach a dog to be its own best problem solver. After clearly teaching them a concept, it is important to know how to transfer accountability for response from you to your dog. Doing this effectively makes all advanced training far easier for both you and your dog. Also, regular life!

#304 The Upland Pup 8 to 16 weeks

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/02/27

Today's episode is about dealing with the best training habits for you and your young pupil to develop. Not creating any bad habits is almost as important as the things you are teaching the little one. We talk about bird introduction, retrieving and puppy obedience. These are the keys to the bright future you can build with your dog.

#303 How do You Train a Dog Without an Electric Collar?

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/02/13

In today's episode, a topic I dearly love. I was asked if it was possible to have a dog that came when called, walked well on a leash and off, and could be trusted while loose - without using an electric collar. The answer is yes, but it takes some understanding. We'll talk through this subject in detail.Batesworks.net

#302 Why is Attitude in a Dog so Important?

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/02/05

As with any of us in pursuit of something we are doing, a dog should enjoy what they are working on, look forward to it and share in the feeling of mastery of what they do. There are a number of ideas and approaches in training dogs, some very harsh and demanding, some very passive, and then there is the way that actually reaches the heart and soul of the dog. That's the one that is going to work best for the long term. Olympic athletes have to really want what they are working so hard to

#301 How Much Training is Enough, or too Much?

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/01/29

In this episode, I answer the question from a listener on the topic of daily training. How do you know how much is enough, too often, too hard, too easy? It's a great question, one I have encountered in my years of training dogs. Listen in as we break down the components of a well-designed training program.

#300 Troubleshooting Series: Why not call a dog back...

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/01/21

Based on a good question received on running blinds, we break down what happens when you call a dog back on a blind, and further discussion about requiring the dog do the work instead of you having to do it for them. Join in on an interesting topic... Julie www.Batesworks.net

#299 Bringing Home the New Puppy

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/01/15

In this episode, we break down the ways to raise a pup which is based more on never creating problems to be fixed later on. Noise, destruction, jumping, not returning on retrieves, not listening, "stubbornness" can all be prevented by a well thought out and caring approach to upbringing. Additionally, stimulating different parts of the developing canine brain that involve the aggressive retrieving and the passive pointing is paramount in the training of the upland retriever. It isn't a hard thing

#298 Troubleshooting Series - My dog won’t return on...

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/01/14

In today's Troubleshooting episode, we discuss the problem of a young dog that doesn't always return or doesn't directly return on a retrieve. As with many problems, this is a symptom of a larger problem, and often as simple as the dog was never taught the expectation. This will show up in different places, but is solved in the same manner.. Julie www.Batesworks.net

#297 Troubleshooting Series, How to Change Negative...

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/01/08

In this episode, I take a question about "How do I get my dog to quit pulling on the leash?" and break down addressing what appears to be a single problem. Most of the time, these behaviors are symptoms of a more systemic problem, and in correctly diagnosing the problem, the problem can be addressed, in all the places it occurs. Join in on the discussion.... Happy 2024! Julie www.batesworks.net

#286 Turning Over Responsibility to Your Dog

Training the Pointing Labrador ·

2024/01/03

In the first episode of 2024, we talk about how much you and your dog can advance when you quit directing their every move and turn responsibility for the work - over to them. Constant commands, cues, reminders are often more nagging than instructing. And constant instructing teaches your animal to tune you out more than listen. Here's some food for thought to simply and optimize your work with your dog. And Happy New Year! Julie www.Batesworks.net
