As someone fairly new to the retriever game, but with a background in training dogs, I found Chris and his guests to be very helpful. Lots of good information here, thanks!
I really want to like this podcast, and at times I really do! However, there are lots of instances where I want to hear more from the guest than your personal dog. Also, there are times I feel like he’s not prepared. Doesn’t seem to have questions qued up (just my perspective).
Chris brings a great perspective as an amateur trainer. His easy way of interacting with his guest puts them at ease to bring out the most in the interview.
I love that you consider yourself a student of the game !!! Your content creates a professional learning community. It is very interesting and inspiring. Great job
Thanks for bringing Bill on as a guest. His insights and guidance were so helpful. It was also great to get to know the man behind the video camera better!
