🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this episode I talk about Marking, as my new Marking course is now available!  I also talk about some differences with blind retrieves when it comes to working vs competing with a dog.

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this episode I talk about: the future of gundog training and breeding in today's world hard mouth - what causes it, what to do about it, whether you can assess for it switching from the use of aversives daily routines

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 Answering many super-interesting listener questions :) 

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 I cover a few bits and pieces related not to training itself (how to train a specific behaviour) but how to conceive of various training-related issues in a broader way. Does that sound vague? Well, you'll just have to give it a go. PS I also cover water deliveries.

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this episode I waffle. About random questions I've been sent. Have a listen!

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 I talk about whether we should allow dogs free access to the environment or not and also chat about marking problems and lining skills.

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 I talk freely (extremely freely), about training a recall to flush before a sit to flush behaviour.

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this episode, I talk about how to get your dog to offer you focus and attention in distracting environments.

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 Listener questions about how to encourage a dog to hunt wider/more confidently; how to increase food motivation in a puppy; and how much retrieving is too much (physically).

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 Probs with cold game retrieves and a couple of questions about aversives

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this highly unusual episode(!), I waffle (because usually I don't, right?) about the clicker retrieve and recalls and long-lines.

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this episode, I recommend my favourite wellies, boots, coats, training vests, dummies, leashes, treat pouches and more. I also answer listener questions about pointing, marker cues and the 'Go Sniff' exercise in my book.

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this episode, I waffle freely ( extremely freely) about training the HPR sequence - with an attempt to give something of an overview, instead of getting lost in how to train any one behaviour in detail. 

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 This episode takes a look at the issue of over-population and the increasing amount of restrictions that dogs face as a result.  I offer some solutions. I'm not very hopeful anything will be implemented in time to avoid the blanket 'all dogs must be on leash everywhere' outcome.

🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this episode, I talk about 18 month old Roche - our weimaraner. Who is bonkers-crazy, when it comes to hunting. I give you seven tips, for training high drive gundogs.
