Back to some drill work with Belle. Working on some pattern blinds, mixing in some factors. These drills work great at teaching dogs to run straight lines, pushing and pulling at the line, whistle stops and distinguishing between different release cues. #chocolatelab #labradorretriever #dogtraining #dogtra #poweredbyinukshuk
Watching some of my training video from yesterday I can’t help but smile. I look back in my videos and pictures and I watch the progression of our youngest dog Birdie. Watching her from a 7 week old puppy learning to sit, to a 1 1/2 yr old dog running multiple marks and cold blinds. The amount of time and money spent, the lessons learned along the way, and the friends whose advice I have taken. It isn’t easy to pursue the sport we have chosen, but the journey is well worth it! #blacklabrador #dogtraining #gundogtraining #HRC #poweredbyinukshuk
Heat Wave in MN today, so we decided to run some COLD blinds with the dogs. Our 15 month old Birdie running 175yd blind.
We decided to start working on some sit training with our pups for some fun tonight. Amazing how fast they picked it up ! Within a few minutes each pup was reliably sitting on command. These pups are just 7 weeks old. Good genetics and a good puppy program really make a difference. #puppytraining #labradorretriever #puppylife #7weeksold

With Hunt test season coming to an end the amount of days we are out training gets limited this time of year. We had a very productive summer! Belle earned her JH title, and started towards her SH. Birdie went from just a pup to earning her JH title and starting her SH, and Braun made progress towards his SH and fixed some training issues that were bothering him. We have an exciting fall planned with some guided hunts coming up, and lots of Pheasant hunting hopefully! What good is all the training if you can’t put it to use. With Training season getting shorter I wanted to share this video of Birdie running a 200 yard cold blind this afternoon. If you look back in the videos from spring you can see her progress from just a pup last fall to the makings of a very well trained dog this fall. We have lots to look forward to with her!

At the beginning of the summer we ran into some water blind issues with Braun. He would hesitate to get in the water right away. He always wanted to find a faster way around on land mostly due to his extensive hunting and bad habits he developed. In dog training it is much easier to not let problems develop then it is to fix them. So needless to say I’m very happy we were able to tackle this issue!
Now just if we can convince him to leave a bumper out there for the other dogs 😂
