Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #80 Should You Train Every Retriever Differently? | Chris Jobman Q&A
Q: What makes Rhett Riddle such a great dog, given temperament differences from yours?
He is fundamentally a good person and a calm, even-keeled dog; his temperament is laid back and he handles training with a relaxed but effective approach. His personality and natural talent together create a standout working dog.
Episode #78 Your Dog’s First Hunting Season: Don’t Ruin It
Q: If Wayne hasn't trained in a while, how long does it affect memory and should you back up when you restart?
It's very dog-dependent; you may need to back up more with a season-level dog and less with an older finished dog, but in general you ease back into training, avoid triples and volleys on day one, and rebuild gradually.
Episode #77 Retriever Training Q&A with Rhett Riddle
Q: What is your approach to peak performance training before a big test?
Focus on marks and blinds, create realistic setup scenarios, and adjust difficulty to keep the dog mentally free while sharpening the end-of-blind finish; back off slightly if the dog tightens up, then progressively reintroduce challenges.
Episode #76 First Hunt Readiness, Force Fetch & Master Test Tips
Q: How should a solo trainer work toward a senior and finished title when training alone?
Invest in wingers and holding blinds to simulate marks, or try to find a training group. If training alone, create drills with throwers so the dog learns to handle birds and to see the marks coming out.
Episode #76 First Hunt Readiness, Force Fetch & Master Test Tips
Q: What are your thoughts on a dog's first hunt in terms of age and season, and whether to skip cold late-season hunts for water in favor of a field hunt?
I'm not a big proponent of a dove or teal first hunt because those birds are fast and easy for a novice dog to miss or be overwhelmed by. Start with a bigger duck that comes in, and keep the dog in situations where it can see and retrieve a bird. Gradually progress and avoid too many people or a loud environment initially.
