    Episode 147 - ethics and head collars

    🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 Sometimes life is complicated. If dogs are losing out on opportunities for exercise and enrichment because people can't manage them, then their quota of 'good stuff' in life gets a lot lower. A dog which never leaves the house is going to experience the fewest unpleasant things in life - and also would be incredibly deprived, under-exercised and under-stimulated. R+ training needs to accommodate these complexities, and stop over-simplifying things. Because we live complicated lives which go beyond the 4 quadrants.

    Episode 145 - pointers, setters and HPRs are different (sometimes distance work is easier than up-close control)

    🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 In this episode, I talk about a certain subgroup of gundogs which are very motivated by environmental exploration/reinforcers. They require a different training approach. These dogs might find it much easier to work at a distance (with behaviours like the remote stop and the recall) and much harder to offer sustained focus up-close (as with heelwork).

    Episode 144 - marking vs steadiness, revisited

    🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 The best marking is most likely if we send the dog immediately the retrieve falls. However, this also erodes steadiness. What to do?

    Episode 143 - how releasing the dog at the right time, improves focus

    🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 I just wanted to drill down (pun intended) on this particular issue, because it's such a great one for improving focus and attention when you're battling environmental distractions.

    Episode - 141 - things that I wish people knew

    🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 This is a random collection of thoughts directed towards helping people become better trainers by addressing things other than the usual 'how to train stuff'. From personality traits of effective trainers to gaps in knowledge and misassumptions.

    Episode 140 - how to train the point, flush and (steadiness to) fall

    🙃 Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line 🙃 This sequence can be really confusing for people at first, leading to people often trying to train this in the actual order it actually happens.
