Voodoo is absolutely crushing it in our Puppy Head Start program! She’s already sleeping through the night, making great progress with potty training (only one little accident and that one was on me, not her!).This pup is smart, driven, and full of potential. I can’t wait to see what she accomplishes in the future and to be able to say I was part of her journey will be something special. Keep an eye on this one! 👀🐾💥 Kristie Gilford you have a rock star coming your way….

Voodoo went for her first swim today and crushed it! 🌊🐾 This little pup may have some big shoes to fill, but she’s already showing she’s up for the challenge. Confident, bold, and eager.I’ve got a feeling she’s going to do just fine. 👊🔥 Kristie Gilford

When you’re finishing up t-pattern, what’s your next move? Are you transitioning into a 3-leg or 5-leg pattern blind, introducing a 9-point drill, or heading straight to cold blinds?

Personally, I like to build momentum and confidence through drills like 3- and 5-leg pattern blinds and the 9-point drill. It gives the dog clarity, teaches key concepts like lining and handling under control, and helps avoid creating unnecessary confusion or pressure too early.

There’s not just one way to get to your goal every dog and trainer is different. Don’t hate on someone else’s program just because it’s not the way you’d do it.

What’s your process after the t? Let’s hear how you like to build that next layer.

Little Miss Voodoo is always on supervisor duty while I run the big dogs. She watches everything like a hawk, soaking it all in. This pup is something special bold, smart, eager to please, and just a joy to be around. She’s got all the tools and the right attitude. Love having her along for the ride

Voodoo is absolutely crushing our Puppy Head Start program! 🔥 This little girl is bold, fearless, and eager to please checking every box we look for in a future rockstar. She’s got the drive, the attitude, and the heart.Miss Voodoo is usually full of s***k, but after a long day in the field supervising the big dogs, she’s moving a little slower this evening. Hard work will do that to ya! 🐾Excited to watch this one grow she’s got all the makings of something special

Well, the first litter was so good… we’re doing it again!

Bella – Where do I even start with this girl? Her marking ability is second to none, and she gives 110% in everything she does. Whether she’s in the field or relaxing at home, her on/off switch is exactly what you want in a hunting partner or family dog. She lives to be part of the team and brings heart to every task.

Jost – If you know him, you know he’s an absolutely stunning male. But he’s more than just looks his marking skills are off the charts, and his drive to please is unmatched. Like Bella, his on/off switch is incredible, making him a dream to live and work with.

If you’re looking for your next hunting partner or a dog to campaign in the hunt test world, this is a litter you don’t want to miss. Pups are due August 8th and they won’t last long.

This game is a whirlwind of emotional highs and lows ,filled with hard times, frustration, joy, and growth. We can’t have full-blown conversations with these dogs, so we step into their world, put ourselves in their shoes, and do our best to teach in a way they truly understand. Our job is to prepare them for success, one lesson at a time.

Today, we ran the Atlantic Flyway Retriever Club HRC test, and Miss Nala added some letters to the front of her name. Even better two of her littermates titled today as well, down South earning their HRCH titles. It’s a special feeling to see siblings thrive together.

One more Master pass, and my girl will be getting prepped for the Grand this Fall.

Drake is on the uphill gain with the “evil” words… FORCE FETCH.

But let me say this it doesn’t have to be evil.

I haven’t pitched an ear on this pup, and I don’t plan to. Let me make this clear.(I’M NOT SAYING I’LL NEVER PITCH AN EAR AGAIN.)

This journey is about growth for both dogs and trainers. Be open minded. Staying closed off to new ideas or different methods will not get you very far in life.At the end of the day, we’re all in this for the same reasons and chasing the same outcomes: better dogs, clearer communication, and success in the field and at home.

Keep learning. Keep growing.
