  You Don’t Need a Puppy to Start Over | Tom Sallows

  Jul 30, 202652 min

  Tom Sallows grew up hunting in northern Alberta and trained his first retriever at just 12 years old. Years later, he found himself struggling with an older dog that had lost interest in bumpers. In this episode, Tom shares how patience, shorter sessions, positive reinforcement, and learning to train the dog in front of him helped rebuild his dog's love for retrieving—and made Tom a better trainer along the way.

  Episode #94

  When Water, Birds, and Gunfire Go Wrong | Brandon Balabus

  Jul 3, 202655 min

  What happens when the three things every duck dog owner worries about most all seem to go wrong? In this episode, Josh sits down with CGA member Brandon to talk through Luna’s training journey—from a surprise fireworks scare, to a bad pool experience, to chicken chaos in the backyard. At several points, Brandon wondered if he had ruined his future duck dog before she ever made it to the blind. But instead of panicking, forcing the issue, or trying to fix everything overnight, Brandon kept following the process, building trust, and learning how to train the dog in front of him. This is an encouraging conversation for anyone who has ever had something go wrong in puppy training and wondered, “Did I mess this up?” Luna’s story is a reminder that one bad moment doesn’t have to define your dog’s future.
