For today's show, we have the pleasure of hanging out with Scott from Trulock Chokes. We kick off the show hearing about Scott's family business and how they got started in the outdoor industry. You'll quickly find that Scott is the real deal and knows a thing or two about hunting, fishing and especially, choke tubes. We get pretty deep with Scott in regards to how and why his chokes are unique, what he looks for in choke tubes, what he recommends for people to do when they get a new gun, etc. One of the most important things Scott suggests is to pattern the gun, choke and shell of choice at the rough distance you plan to shoot game. It sounds simple but ask yourself... have you done this recently? There's a ton of science that goes into making quality chokes for your guns and Trulock Chokes helps break it down on their youtube channel, which you can check out here. With thousands of variations of chokes, I'd bet there's something for you and your gun. It's worth looking into. Treat yourself.

Today we had a great conversation with our friend, Karl Gunzer, from Purina. Before working for Purina, Karl worked with some of the most well-known dog trainers in the country and competed at the national level. Karl shares how he got into the training game, how he worked his way into Field Trials and some of the most memorable dogs he has worked with over the years. After the retriever game, Karl began working for Purina and also got into running cattle dogs. We talk a lot about the crossover between training retrievers and stock dogs and Karl shares a lot of insights. It's always great to chat with people who work dogs and have such an interesting perspective on training animals. Karl and the rest of the folks at Purina are working hard to support our industry, the events and the dogs and for that, I think we owe them some gratitude.

Holy cow, what a detailed show. Tonight, we had the pleasure of chatting with a repeat guest and awesome guy, Kevin Cheff (The Retriever Coach). He is extremely knowledgeable and is great at breaking down training and information so anyone can understand each step along the way. Oh, and he does seminars you should look into. Some topics discussed are: dogs with high drive, getting dogs to come out of a kennel nicely, holding blind manners, indirect pressure, handling on marks, blinds, etc. After we finished the show, Bob turned to me and said "this was one of the best." Thanks for joining us, Kevin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We hear about Blaines trip out west for Master Nationals '21, how his dogs performed, how he prepped them and how he eats string cheese for dinner. Also, Bob and Blaine chat about the upcoming Field Trial they're entering... stay tuned for how that goes. Then we dig into a very long and highly thorough conversation answering some questions from Blaine/Bob's Patreon friends. We dig into a wide variety of topics from heel techniques for puppies to en route force to teaching patience, etc. After the podcast ended, Blaine said he thought this was the most educational show he's done so far.

let's try this again... Our good buddy, Oliver Burman at Foundation Retrievers, joins us to reminisce about the Master National. We run through the prep work leading up to the test and each series and how each dog handled it (the good and the bad). The few weeks out west were enjoyable, humbling and exciting.

Our show gets pretty deep and discusses human connections and how that connection works with dogs, too.

Grayson gets into some info about snake breaking dogs and how he has been helping people keep their dogs safe... stay tuned for more seminars on that from him...

A few weeks back, a true dog man (KD Mathews) came to hang out and share some stories. KD lives down in sunny Florida and has been in the dog training business for the past 30 years and the reason is because he asks questions. Then he asks more. He asks the owners questions and in turn, teaches the owners about their dogs before really even teaching the dogs. Then ya know, he teaches the dogs, too. We dig into some leadership with dogs & people and surprise: coaching people and coaching dogs can be eerily similar. KD provides a phenomenal analogy that really hits home, especially since we all refer to ol' Lone D as Uncle Bob. Then we finish up chatting about bite work with dogs, the importance of a "denial" and how dogs never forget things, we just try to bury those memories deep, deep down below tons of positive reps. If you enjoyed the show as much as we did, hit up KD and learn more at socraticcanine.com... you'll be pleased you did. Cheers, brotherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's show was certainly a special one. We had the pleasure of speaking with 1st Lt. Amber English... but you might know her more as the bad to the bone wingshooter with nerves of steel who earned the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Amber has been competing for years and is currently shooting on the AMU team in the United States Army, so she has the coolest job ever. We learn about her time in Tokyo, the food she has eaten while traveling, her hunting plans for the fall and a ton more. Amber also shares some advice she's heard from coaches and she even offers some tips to help us become better shooters...we'll see how it goes. Hopefully, this isn't the last we hear from Amber because we didn't get to meet her dog, Cotton. Cheers to you, Amber. Learn more about the US Army's Marksmanship Unit here.

Welcome welcome. Tonight's show was with our buddy, Doug, from Soggy Dog Gear. He's an awesome guy who enjoys training dogs and telling tales. Doug lives out in Michigan and that lucky dog happens to live in some prime bird hunting area (I'm not jealous or anything, it's fine). Anyway, we have a great time talking about how Doug got started working with dogs, new products from his dog supply company, a contest Doug is putting together for amateur trainers, Dogtra products he likes and possibly my favorite part of the conversation... we talk about fire breathing, pumped up, high drive dogs and how to handle them. Doug happens to own a fire breather and he and Bob talk a lot about obedience, ways to work with those kinds of dogs, lessons learned from k9 handlers, etc. We'll have to have Doug back on the show sometime because 1. he's the man and 2. we had a great conversation and I want to hear more about some grouse action.

We have a special episode today because we get to chat with our buddy, Marshall, from Treasure Island Outfitters. We met Marshall last year when our patreon crew went down to southern Missouri to shoot ducks and train dogs for three awesome days. Aside from seeing a crazy number of birds, telling stories with friends, working dogs and eating until we just couldn't anymore... we had a really good time hanging with Marshall and his guides. So when it was time to commit to another year of hunting with Treasure Island, we asked Marshall to join our show and hang out for a bit. In this show, you'll hear how Marshall and his business partners got into the hunting business, about their lodge, their hunting techniques, his dogs, etc. I promise, it won't take long to understand why we enjoyed hanging out and hunting with these guys. Want to join us for a 3 duck hunts, dog training seminars, all you can eat, drink and more? Hit us up, we have a few spots left for our hunt with these guys in December 2024.

Our good buddy Adam Campbell is back on our show to talk dogs and catch up. Since we've last seen him, he and another buddy of ours, Jimmy Rodgers, have created an awesome podcast called The Dog House with Adam and Jimmy. If you're a fan of our show, then you'd enjoy theirs. We talk about Adam's dogs and how hot the weather can be for dog training where he's from. Adam gives some warm weather training tips for people and we dig into how Adam preps his dogs to peak at the right time. Specifically, we talk about peaking for the ol' Master Stashional event. We also pick his brain on some water work questions from a few friends of ours and his answers are awesome. Don't miss out on the dog training advice we get to enjoy in this episode! Cheers!

Tonight's episode is one of my favorites so don't miss this. First, I really enjoyed the opener and chatting about the brands we like... I got Bob off topic and he got all flustered. Next, we learn how Bob is doing with the adopting some of Oliver's training techniques (if you're wondering what those might be, check out the previous 2 episodes). We also talk about the most recent hunt test where a bunch of dogs passed their tests and we had a handful of lone duck dogs qualify for the Master Stashional out in Idaho. We also chat with Bob about his training day with the local retriever club and how YOU can get involved with some cool clubs near you. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose by meeting with a club to see if you'd be a good fit. Finally, and I think I'm going out of order here but that's ok, we hear a lot of frustration from Bob and this is the part I really enjoyed...hear me out on this. We get a lot of people who write in asking questions and we try to help problem solve and dissect the training scenario and see what sort of solutions we can create to help make the dog more confident and successful. At least once per day, someone says their dog is great with the collar on or they're great in training but once the collar comes off or once they're at the line for a test, the dog goes nuts. Well, this happens to everyone, even here at the Lone D and tonight, we hear all about it. Bob has been working hard with a few dogs who have soooo much drive that it's pretty tough to manage. Anyway, I liked the conversation because it's raw and straight shooting. This is how training dogs can be, it's hard. If your dog "is nuts and has so much drive they're tough to handle..." you aren't alone and cheers to you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tonight's show was a great time and we tried something new: recording during a live stream with our friends on patreon. We hung out and answered some of their questions and were able to interact quite a bit, so we had a really good time and appreciate those who could make it. We catch up with Oliver and get his thoughts on a few specific training scenarios. This was a fun one, I think you'll enjoy it. Be sure to watch for Oliver at Foundation Retrievers... he is one heck of a trainer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welp, we've had a couple weeks of chaos with a whole lot of traveling for hunt tests and long days training dogs but we're back and ready to share a few lessons learned. This week, we're hosting Oliver & Andrew from Foundation Retrievers and getting in a lot of good training. Bob and Oliver recap the past few weeks of hunt tests with the dogs, how they performed, where things went wrong and how they're busting butt to problem solve and earn passes. I feel like our show is usually pretty passionate. We put a lot of time and energy into Lone Duck Kennels and you can't help but get worked up talking about the wins and losses because of all the "investment" you put into this kind of work. Well, I think you'll feel the passion in tonight's show as Bob and Oliver dig into training advice and go back and forth with each other. It's certainly a positive discussion centered around building confident dogs and ways to increase the trust and relationship with your dog, but it's super interesting to hear all the different ways to accomplish the same training goal. What do you think? Oliver and Andrew will be here for another week, so we'll do a round two with these guys next time. Did we miss anything or do you have follow up questions? DM us and we'll get to it. Cheers. PS. Check out our buddies at Waypoint Outdoor Collective... they have tons of cool shows and if you like ours, you're gonna love some of our other friends' shows.

We've had a lot of people ask questions about mini t, t pattern, how do you get a dog to sit on a whistle, why does my dog loopy sit, etc., so tonight, we're tackling all of it. Bob and I catch up a little but we dig right into the meat of the show and try to thoroughly explain the process from start to finish and when to notice triggers along the way. These "triggers" are little things to watch for to know when your dog is ready for the next step in the process. We also answer a few other questions that came through Instagram (@loneduck) about breeding, how to choose parents, how to choose breeders and a whole lot more. Tonight's show hit a lot of interesting topics. Let us know what you think! Cheers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tonight, Bob and Kevin chat with our good buddy, Lyle Steinman, from Castile Creek Kennels about how his southern trip is going. Like many people, he has been battling the frigid temps in Texas, which is obviously devastating. On a positive note, we chat about some exciting things happening with his business. A lot of people ask about doing southern training trips and what it's like and so we pull back the curtain a little. It's interesting to hear Lyle's perspective.

These two fellas were a ton of fun to have a beer with and talk dogs. First we dig into how these guys got into the outdoor space and how they got into hunting alongside dogs.

We've had a lot of people ask about chatting with buddies who aren't pros with a hundred dogs in the kennel and more on the side of just a few. This made us think of our pal, Brandon Sweesy, of Northern Air Retrievers. He has a really good dog named Jones that he trained himself by watching Freddie King videos, reading and calling his breeder and you guessed it... actually training the dog in front of him. It was pretty cool to learn more about Brandon's training philosophy and how he handles his dogs in tests. We really dig into a good training discussion and we hope you enjoy it. We were pumped to find out that our new girl, Prairie, is a distant relative to Brandon's younger dog. It's funny how small this world can be, right?

Tonight, we chat with one of the greatest dog trainers around, Brad Arrington, from Mossy Pond Retrievers. Bob and Brad met a long time ago and basically, they catch up on the last few ~10 years. What's happened since then? Well, Brad has continued to grow and refine his skills as a trainer, grown an impressive business while maintaining a high level of integrity. Brad helps share some advice for one of Bob's dogs that keeps veering off on specific marks and it provides a really in depth conversation. We also talk about an event he's putting on in the spring and you should check it out. Overall, this is a great episode and we're grateful for Brad's time and friendship.

In this episode, we dig into some of his hunt test season and what he's learned from it, how he likes hunting woodies in little honey holes and how he wants to help coach your dog with his new venture, The Brown Dog Academy. If you've heard our show, then you've probably picked up a trick or two from Blaine and it could be worth looking into. While chatting, Blaine also teaches Bob and I why we're so bad at deer hunting.

Nothing like a little chaos to create an impromptu week of training and fun, am I right? Well, that's what happened and we ended up being home for the Free Spirit Gun Dogs crew and we are grateful to have them. We sat down to have a handful of laughs with Molly Boland, an extremely talented dog trainer, hunting guide and overall badass. We kick off the show chatting with Molly about her early years and hear some cool hunting stories from moose to caribou to spearfishing, hand lining & hunting sea ducks in Alaska. We then jump into some good training advice and even hear questions from our close friends on Patreon. We then jump onto Instagram Live to laugh and chat with people about their dogs and offer advice to help them achieve their training goals. Tonight's show was pretty special and I think if you listen, you'll feel that. We truly had a good time chatting with Molly and learning from her. She's an absolute inspiration and like I said, we're grateful to be friends with her & Beth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We can just start by saying that tonight's show was pretty awesome. We had the opportunity to sit down and chat with our buddy, Lyle Steinman, before the SRS Championship. We begin our show hearing about Lyle's summer and the tough losses he's endured. Man, I've been there and it's devastating. We then pick up the positivity and learn about how Lyle's been training his dogs and pushing himself to the max in preparation for the SRS. We also hear some detailed training advice from Lyle in regards to swim by, decheating and a lot more. I'm pumped because we were able to connect our Patreon friends with Lyle and they asked some good training questions for him. If you'd like to join and receive cool perks like that, then hit up this link here. Good luck to Lyle and all of our friends at the SRS this year. Cheers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Oh hey there. Let's jump into another goodie (for the second time because I screwed up the file for the first interview) with Russ Kelley from Eukanuba. Russ has been a dog guy for years and has owned all sorts of hunting dogs. He's also been a driving force for dog nutrition for his whole career and we're lucky to chat with him and answer a few questions about how to best fuel our dogs. This is a super interesting show because of how knowledgable Russ is and because Eukanuba recently launched their new food and Russ tells us all about the what and the why behind it. Thanks to Russ and the Eukanuba team for supporting our show and for constantly pushing themselves to be better for our dogs. They have a simple mission and it's certainly something we can get behind. Check out their site to learn more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's episode is pretty special and we're happy to share our conversation with Shaundi Campbell from Browning. Shaundi is one of the coolest people you'll ever meet and spends her time chasing all sorts of animals. We kick off the show learning how Shaundi got into the hunting world and her latest expedition to Patagonia where she chased some giant red stags. Then we dig into her time raising and training hounds and how she got her first cat. We often say on the show how the coolest dog trainers are the ones who run hounds because it's such hard, blue collar work and the dogs are tough as nails. Then we move onto other hunting stories, her time in the uplands, Browning, her guns and where she is flying to next to fulfill a lifelong dream. A big thank you to Shaundi for joining our show and trading a few stories. It's always so great to spend time with someone who shares a passion for tough hunts and older guns that have their own stories via bumps and bruises. Be sure to follow Shaundi on social media, she is definitely one of the coolest people to keep an Instagram eye on. Cheers! Do you feel like you could use some direction with your dog training?

This week, Bob and Kevin sit down over a beer to reminisce about the fantastic weekend we had. We were fortunate to have a bunch of great people and their talented dogs come hang out, train, eat, drink and be merry with us. We put together a little weekend workshop for amateur trainers and we talk about what everyone learned, force fetch, t pattern, wagon wheel, walking fetch, blinds, force to a pile, holy cow the list goes on. We also had a pretty solid party after the long day, gave away some cool prices and enjoyed ourselves around the bonfire just trading hunting stories. We received such great feedback about our workshop that we'll certainly be doing more in the future. Then we jump on Instagram Live to chat with friends and answer a little Q&A and things get good. I'd highly encourage you to hop on the ol' IG next time we do a live show because it's super handy to see visuals during explanations. We've pretty grateful for our Lone Duck community and for those who came to the workshop. Cheers to you all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tonight we share a lot of laughs with our old pal, Ethan Pippitt, from Standing Stone Kennels and our buddy Dr. Peter Armstrong, DVM. Peter and Ethan flew into town for a quick trip to talk about dogs and learn more about the Lone Duck Dog program. We had a full day of running dogs and then settled into a good podcast to hear about Peter's interesting experiences as a vet, driving cattle, his hunting trips and his super cool dogs. I happen to consider myself a dog guy, but Peter just puts me to shame. I learned quite a bit in this episode and also laughed pretty hard. Oh, did I mention we have NEW stuff on our website?
