Attached are pictures form the seminar that I presented in Sioux Falls, SD on August 15 &16 on behalf of Enhance Brand Dog Food.

The seminar was held by the Dakota Retriever Club at Shane and Teri Jo Olean’s Smokin’ Dakota Kennels.  Over 40 people (including several pros)  attended the two day event.

The seminar centered around the “20 Minute Gun Dog” program that we have developed, and emphasized the need for both pros and amateurs alike to have a good blueprint to follow when building a retriever.  In addition to lecturing on the subject, I gave in depth demonstrations of obedience training, collar conditioning, Indirect pressure, force fetch on a table, single and double T, swim-by, and pattern blinds.  We also covered solving problems such as bugging, bank running, and no-going.  At one point I even got Dave Nielson to get down on the ground beside me to demonstrate the proper way to give a dog a line! Overall I believe it was a great seminar , and I really want to thank the Oleans and all the members of the Dakota Retriever Club for having me there.

Thanks!

Summer in the Mountains

We have taken our annual odyssey to cooler temperatures. This year we are training on a 650 acre ranch near Fairplay, Colorado. Our dogs are in their fourth week of training at 9,500 ft elevation. This is our eighth consecutive year to take our 1,000 mile journey to find cooler temperatures during the summer. The temperature rarely exceeds 75 degrees and the dogs love it! We will be back in Arkansas before the opening of dove season and hope to see you at an event soon. In the meantime, I thought I would add a few pictures to the blog for everyone to enjoy.
