    287. Urban Gun Dog Trainer

    Not all professional gun dog trainers have the land and resources that are typically associated with training gun dogs. Josh Wiggins of Houston Dog Works joins me for a wide ranging conversation on his training perspectives that affords him the capability to train sporting dogs while living and operating in a major city such as Houston, TX. This is also what motivated him to start his new company Gundog Garage! Watch Here! Behavior modifications are the same as regular training Dog training pricing and gun dogs vs pet dogs Dog training is dog training BUT not all dog trainers are dog trainers Genetics absolutely matter! But they aren't everything! Genetics can overshadow training but training can also overshadow genetics Are you actually a 'team' if the dog is simply working to get it's own reward? Clarity of the release Management can and does fail Accountability is not always in line with fairness Dogs mistaking your kindness for weakness. (Letting them sleep in bed???) Dont skip steps. The dog SHOULDN'T know better. Is the juice worth the squeeze? Training gun dogs in urban environments with Gundog Garage People don't know what they don't know The tool doesn't change.
