    I really like Scott and the podcast but it is getting so long I can’t listen to in one session so I enjoy it less.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Insider: Gun Dog Supply's Steve Snell on seven tips for puppy owners
Q: What makes the first weeks so critical for a puppy's development?
Because the puppy is transitioning away from its mother and littermates, it experiences a big learning curve and needs significant exposure and time from the owner to establish routines, house training, and social comfort.
Insider on feeding, trialing, hunting, and your most common questions, answered
Q: Is there a protocol we should follow for rotating proteins or changing formulas?
Yes, transition gradually, typically over a week, and be careful with fat content changes to avoid digestive upset.
Insider on feeding, trialing, hunting, and your most common questions, answered
Q: I got a question for you about what people should feed their dog at the booth.
The guest explains that feeding depends on age, activity level, genetics, and what the dog can tolerate; there are many formulas, and the right one is found by tailoring to the individual dog.
Successful NAVHDA trainer on composure, acing the test, raising the bar and "desperate" dogs
Q: What is Clyde's approach to training for composure and the Navhda tests?
Clyde emphasizes building an elite hunting dog rather than training strictly for a test, focusing on drive, cooperation, and mental stability from a young age, with gradual, fun exposure to birds and structured backing to foster confidence.
Orvis' Reid Bryant on bird hunting, podcasting, books and shopping for a hunting destination
Q: What should a customer look for when calling an outfitter or lodging for a guided hunt—what should you ask and be honest about?
Be honest about your goals, physical capability, and priorities (hunting vs. lodging/amenities) so the outfitter can set realistic expectations and tailor recommendations; ask what is most important to the guest and weigh hunting quality against dining, comfort, and service.
