EP 364. Training Retrievers--and Their Owners Duck Season Somewhere

From a Mississippi hilltop overlooking Gator Point Kennel's incredible technical pond and proven training grounds, Ramsey and long-time retriever trainer Alan Sandifer visit on the tailgate while resurrected-from-the-ashes Char Dawg pants quietly at their feet. Sandifer tells about how and why he got into professional training, describing what makes good retrievers, how retrievers all have different personalities, how best to prepare pups for training, why his training game differs from our hunting game, and why transitioning from trainer to owner is sometimes problematic. Retrievers are integral to waterfowl hunting, and this conversation focuses on reasonable expectations and responsibilities of both owners and those they entrust in training their best friend.
