Episode 138 - PUPPIES 8-12 weeks
Episode 138
samedi 15 novembre 2025 • Duration 01:01:45
🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃
Here I waffle randomly about what I'm doing with puppies in this age range. It doesn't really involve much gundog-specific stuff, because it's about helping pups to feel safe in the world.
Episode 137 - the value of picking up and some thoughts about docking
Episode 137
jeudi 30 octobre 2025 • Duration 45:17
🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃
I talk here about the advantages of picking up, especially for HPR breeds (spaniels would also benefit for similar reasons) - and also offer some thoughts about docking after our experiences with our recent litter of Weim pups.
Episode 128 - enjoying the journey and structuring your training on blinds
Episode 128
mercredi 26 mars 2025 • Duration 30:37
🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃
I talk about prioritising your enjoyment of the actual activity of working your dog in the field, separate to any achievements, goals or objectives. It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
I also talk about the importance of splitting your training and structuring your work with blinds. Be a lumper and not a splitter.
Finally, we've moved our breeding from Roche (Weim) forwards and everything is a leetle beet manic, chez nous....

Episode 35 - what to do with dogs that disappoint us
Episode 35
mardi 2 juin 2020 • Duration 16:52
🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃
I ponder the options available when we are disappointed by a dog which fails to live up to our expectations in some way.
Episode 34 - 3-in-a-row drill and listener questions
Episode 34
vendredi 22 mai 2020 • Duration 49:41
🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃
Today I answer questions about biting puppies and recall problems in hunting dogs. I also describe another great lining drill, the 3-in-a-row drill.
Episode 33 - Wagonwheels and 'settling' dogs down
Episode 33
mercredi 15 avril 2020 • Duration 33:25
🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃
In this episode, I describe a 4-spoked and 8-spoked wagonwheel lining drill - which requires very little space to train, so can be done in your yard or garden.
I also answer a listener's question about settling her dog down in various different settings.
Episode 32 - Exercising and socialising during the coronavirus
Episode 32
vendredi 27 mars 2020 • Duration 38:34
🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃
I ponder the implications of the recent 'lockdown' in the UK: Can you drive a short distance to exercise your dog in a remote area, or do you have to exercise in a crowded place where everyone else is?
And how do we socialise puppies so they grow up to be well-adjusted, despite all these restrictions on daily life?
