Hunting season is here in a lot of the country. We as trainers tell people to set their young inexperienced dogs up for success.

What does that success look like for my dog? It depends on the dog. For some dogs, it may be sitting calmy through volleys of birds and not whining or breaking. For others it may succesfully swimming past dead birds in the decoys to pick up the cripple. This is why it is so important to not only know your dog but know where your dog is in training. It is my job to give them the tools to be successful its the handlers job to give them the best opportunity for success.

For the first few hunts high hopes, low expectations.

HR Kelley’s Yellow Hurricane MH x HRCH Riptide’s Appalachian Annie MH QAA

This litter is the sum total of my career in the retriever world. I have been planning this litter for 5 years. I was patient in the search for the right pedigree and female to compliment Cane. The goal behind this litter has always been to produce great pets that will have the drive and confidence to compete at most any level.

HR Kelley’s Yellow Hurricane MH (Cane)

Cane was amateur trained and handled. Passed his first test at 5 months old; achieved his junior title by 7 months old and his seasoned title at 11 months old. He took a 4 year break from running tests and just hunted. Came back as a 5 year old and achieved his senior and Master titles. He was a great team player, always ready to work and had an exceptional off switch. He was rock steady under the worst conditions. He was an 80 lb. athletic built dog.

CNM - Clear
PRA-PRCD - Clear

D Locus - Non Dilute

HRCH Riptide’s Appalachian Annie MH QAA

Annie is a fast stylish dog with a level head and exceptional marking ability. She runs blinds as fast as she does marks. She would train 8 days a week if you would let her. She is a very consistent dog who in 2022/2023 had a streak of 19 finished/master passes and a Qualifying second. Annie has finished 30% of qualifyings she has ran with a Second and a JAM. She has an off switch and is ALMOST as happy to cuddle on the couch as she is to go to work.

When Timmy Nail invited me on this trip over the summer, I had big plans for Cane to get to experience a hunt he had never been on before. Out of a duck water boat on big open water picking up divers. Unfortunately life had other plans. He may not have been by my side but there is zero doubt in my mind he sent us those birds.

We had two great days of shooting birds, more laughs than birds and we got to watch two inexperienced dogs work out how to pick up birds in a brand new environment.

If I told you my first duck hunt without him was easy id be lying. But the later it got in the morning the more I realized he was there. Every dog that I bring up and teach how to do this job takes a little piece of Cane with them on every retrieve.

Ive said many many times what truly motivates me to get up every day is to try my best and let my clients have a bond with their dogs like I had with him.

I got to watch that bond being built in real time. With each big splash off the boat with every bird brought back, my heart got a little lighter.

Thank you for letting us tag along.

Big shout out to Ryan Caron and Fowl Hooked Charters LLC for putting the birds in close.

Cane lost his fight with cancer yesterday. Thank you to everyone who shared in his life. Thank you for the support and the random messages checking on him.
He was special and he will be missed greatly. My heart will never be whole again. But I wouldnt change a thing!

Love you Big Dog. I hope there are fields full of crippled geese and field mice for you and sissy to chase until your heart is content!

I ran my first derby a couple weeks ago and Buzz ran his first event ever. He did a great job making it to the 4th series and picking up 7/8 birds. This dog has an amazing career ahead of him. He doesnt age out of derbies until the end of april and we are for sure goina try again. We both had a blast!

The ups and downs of training competetive dogs.

Annie ran 2 qualifyings in the past 2 weeks with 2 completely different outcomes.
The first event in ohio she walked away with a JAM and ran a pretty good trial. She didnt mark the greatest but she did a good enough job to get a JAM. The next friday we go to North Carolina and she stepped on the land marks. And decided she was goina run the blind without me and I picked her up.

Initially I was frustrated with her because she is a much much better blind running dog than that. Over the weekend I sat and pondered what went wrong. It wasnt anything that happened at the trial that caused her to run a poor blind it was what didnt happen in training that should have.

98% of the time Annie is a better blind running dog than she is a marker. So when we are playing at the qualifying level my main focus is on marking I need her to be confident in her abilitys going to the line to watch the marks and go get them. I, ME, the trainer didnt do enough drill work or blind running to prepare her for the second trial. I needed to remind her that blind running is a team sport and we have to do that together. And I fell short of that in training. I am super proud of that little dog and we will continue to get better!

Thank you to all the judges workers and club members for putting on great events!! And cograts to all the dogs that walked away with ribbons!

Ava has had a pretty rough go of it the last little bit. She had a heat cycle in the spring followed by a false pregnancy. She still wanted to work, but her skills and confidence in those skills suffered because of this. She is finally back to my normal old Ava stepping on marks and running with confidence!
I said all that to say this….Dogs have bad days, heck dogs have bad months. As long as they are giving effort keep grinding be patient and teach them. Keep your finger off the trigger and HELP them learn you will eventually get your dog back.

The goose opener was 🔥…We needed more guns.

I got to watch two dogs that I whelped pick up a two man limit of sky pandas. One of them at the beginning of her career the other nearing the end. and Shadow have turned into a great team. Its been a fun ride watching them grow together over the past couple years! Cane was his usual self, picked up his birds and then demanded his oatmeal creame pie!

“Good requires motivation, great requires obsession!”

Last night I saw an instagram reel of an interview with the GREAT Kobe Bryant. The reporter said “most people fall into two categories people who are motivated to win, and people who are terrified of losing.” She then asked him which category he fell in. Kobes’s response? “Neither” he went on to tell her he was motivated to learn and be better than he was yesterday! Dont be obsessed with winning or losing. Be obsessed with the why!

Why did my dog refuse that cast?
Why did my dog break?
Why did my dog not check down?
Why did my dog do any of the silly things dogs do?

Once you figure out the why the how is easy to figure out!
