- Education
From thinking about whether a Pointing Retriever is for you, through all the steps, problems, issues and resources, this is the place to get a variety of information about your dog and getting the performance and behavior you'd love to get - as a team! Join Julie as she discusses specific aspects of a versatile and rewarding process.

#318 Your Dog is a Mirror
In today's fairly personal episode, the discussion covers how all our canines, in their performances and behavior, reflect back what they receive from their partners. They are like the Divine Mechanism helping us to see ourselves. When their performance and behavior is evaluated on this basis, it is both humbling and powerful in reaching the improvement we are looking for.

#317 Training for Effort
In today's episode, we discuss a couple different approaches to training a dog. There is the 'teaching the right motions', the 'make them do it right', the 'repeat it until they get it' and then the one I like, teach them to give their best effort and reward that response. Probably the last one is the hardest, because you have to pay attention the whole time, but it can certainly produce good results. Have a listen....

#316 Expanding Local Clubs and Furthering the Pointing Lab World
In today's episode, we discuss the success of localized pointing Lab clubs and how we need to form more of these to help in educating more people about these dogs. Where do you get a good pup, how do you train them with both retrieving and pointing aspects? What should you do with a new pup? How can you meet people to train with, what equipment do you need, how do you get help and how can you get a test in your region? The PL world is expanding rapidly with the quality of dogs and trainers we now see. I encourage anyone interested in participating in this expansion to contact me or anyone on the APLA Board so we can help get things going in more parts of the country.

#315 The Conflicted Dog
Poor behaviors, new training problems, confusing troubles, generally stem from the dog being in a situation it cannot manage, is confused or is disheartened or distrustful. But very few of us look at things this way. Understanding the inner nature of your dog can often be quite useful in problem solving.

#314 The Magic Side of Dog Training
Today's episode is just a couple stories. Stories of things that happened with dogs, not because of the training principles used, not because of any expert advice, but because the individuals really wanted it with their dog. And when done with sincerity and belief, they did it. Hugely inspirational to me over the years..

#313 "She never does that in training!"
For those who test their dogs in any venue, we've all had the day when we were prepared, paid the entry, drove the distance, only to have our dog do something it has never done before. We are dejected and mystified. Here are a few ideas that might help in preventing the unexplainable.
