A SOCOM Veteran's Take on Dog Training: From First Turkey Hunt to Epic Retrieves in Rugged Alaska
06/25/24 • 82 min
Every hunter has their start. Whether it was a friend inviting them to try hunting or a beloved father. In CGA Member Wayne Triplett's case, his grandad was the first one to introduce him to the outdoors when he took him on his first turkey hunt.
That defining moment in Wayne's life started a lifelong passion for the outdoors.
Wayne's infectious enthusiasm for the sport and his dogs shines through as he recounts memorable hunting tales, including his pivot to archery and the exhilarating moment he first set sights on waterfowl hunting in Alaska. His stories bring to life the excitement and passion that come with every hunt and training session.
Wayne's journey with dog training began with the desire to get a dog. It was no smooth ride. Skeptics and so-called experts often doubted his ability to have a dog due to his hectic work schedule. Wayne was fortunate enough to have some great friends who encouraged him despite what he had been told.
Wayne's persistence paid off. He achieved remarkable results by dedicating just 15 to 20 minutes a day and leveraging the Cornerstone program. Not only did Wayne find success, but he also involved his children in the process, creating a unique bonding experience that enriched their lives. Through ups and downs, Wayne shares insights into the importance of consistency, visual learning, and adapting training methods to fit each dog's needs. His story is one of patience, dedication, and the simple joys of shared experiences with dogs and family.
