    Born With It or Built Over Time

    Is drive something a dog is born with—or something that’s built through training and handling over time? In this episode of Dog Driven, I sit down with the owners of Paragon Retrievers and Gun Dogs out of Sturdivant, MO who have dedicated their lives to raising and placing working dogs to break down one of the most debated topics in the hunting dog world. We talk genetics, bloodlines, early puppy traits, training pressure, and the role handlers play in shaping a dog’s potential. From why dogs from the same litter can turn out completely different, to the mistakes that quietly suppress drive, this conversation cuts through the myths and gets honest about what really creates a great retriever. Whether you’re choosing your first hunting dog or trying to bring out the best in the one you already have, this episode will change how you think about drive—and your role in it.

    The Off Season Is Where Dogs Are Made

    The off season isn’t a break — it’s where dogs are made. In this solo episode, I’m talking about what we do with our dogs when the season ends and the real work begins. From daily structure and obedience, to conditioning, mindset, and low-pressure training, this is the quiet work that builds confident, durable dogs long before opening day. If you’re in the off season right now, this episode is your reminder that consistency, patience, and intention matter more than intensity — and that what you build now is exactly what shows up later. Because season tests dogs.The off season builds them.
