Episode 22 - my book is published and some questions about reinforcement whilst working a dog
Hold the Line
11/08/19 • 33 min
My book, Force-Free Gundog Training: The Fundamentals for Success, is now available on Amazon (world-wide!). If you do pick up a copy, please do leave an Amazon review to give me some click and treats and make it more likely that I will be motivated to get to work on the next book!!
I have a proof left over - a copy of the book which is exactly the same as those sold, except it says 'Not for resale' across the front. I'm going to draw a name from a hat for it! If you'd like to enter the draw, please email me your training question(s) at [email protected]
The article on variable reinforcement referred to in the podcast, is Doesn't Intermittent Reinforcement Create a Stronger Behaviour? by Eileen and the dogs.

Episode 19 - Phase 6 of the Clicker Retrieve
Hold the Line
08/16/19 • 20 min
In this episode, I look at Phase 6 of the clicker retrieve process: Proofing the hold against food.
If your dog can master this step, you will have an extremely reliable retrieve. Your dog will be unlikely to drop in the presence of distractions and you will be able to use this when your dog exits water to achieve a reliable hold and to avoid the dog dropping when wet to shake.
This step also prevents rolling or mouthing of the dummy or retrieve item, in the dog's mouth - since the mouth will still when the dog is focussed on the dummy.

Episode 15 - Interview with Nick Benger - on engagement and 'talking with the other side'
Hold the Line
07/19/19 • 61 min
In this episode, I talk with Nick Benger about two completely different subjects: Training dogs to focus on their handlers in distracting environments (otherwise known as 'engagement' training), which is a special interest of his - and we also talk about how (and why) to have conversations with trainers who use aversives.
Nick himself has a podcast - called Dog Talk With Nick Benger - which I highly recommend that you subscribe to, because it's one of my favourite podcasts.
Nick has a degree in Canine Behaviour and Training from the University of Hull and he is a positive reinforcement pet dog trainer, running Bark Play Teach in Bristol, UK. He is currently writing a book on engagement but, whilst we all wait for that to appear, you can download his free 'engagement guide' from his website here.

Hold the Line
07/12/19 • 39 min
In this episode, I talk about Phase 4 and 5 of the clicker retrieve. Phase 4 is the Hand Target and Phase 5 is Introducing Slight Distance and a Mini-Hold.
Be sure to check out my YouTube channel for some free videos giving an overview of the clicker retrieve process.

Episode 12 - Interview with Jules Morgan
Hold the Line
06/28/19 • 60 min
In this episode, I chat with force-free gundog trainer, Jules Morgan. Jules is a full APDT (UK) member and an accredited trainer and assessor for the Gundog Club.
Jules' training organisation is called Dog Training Naturally and she's been a professional dog trainer for about 25 years. She is entirely force-free and she is also a crossover trainer, so she really understands the journey that is made when people move from using aversives to being force-free.
Along with Helen Phillips, Jules has set up the Gundog Trainers' Academy - to train trainers(!) how to work with gundogs in a force-free way.
Jules herself owns and works both cockers and labradors and has experience working on many different types of shoots. She has judged gundog working tests and organised KC Working Gundog Certificate days and she is a co-founder of the Leconfield Working Spaniel Club.

Hold the Line
05/03/19 • 55 min
In this episode, I talk to UK retriever trainer, Collette May. We talked in some depth about UK retriever working tests, in a bid to encourage more people to dip their toes into mainstream competition.
Collette competes with her three black labs in UK tests and trials, as well as picking up on shoots. She is a full member of the IMDT and an accredited Gundog Club instructor and assessor. Her training organisation is called 'Lead and Listen' and you can check out what she offers, here: www.leadandlisten.co.uk

In this episode, I talk about marking. What is good marking and why do we need it? How can we establish good marking habits? Why should the dog not look away from the location of fall unless cued to? And a few other bits and pieces.

Episode 29 - Interview with Hannah Branigan
Hold the Line
02/21/20 • 70 min
In this episode, I chat with Hannah Branigan about:
- food motivation - and how to work with dogs which lack it (especially in the field or in high arousal situations) and
- the importance of planning our training sessions
You can find out more about Hannah herself via her own website. But she also has her own dog sports podcast, called Drinking From the Toilet - which you most definitely want to check out and subscribe to.
Hannah has two competition obedience DVDs available - Obedience FUNdamentals and Beyond FUNdamentals - and the easiest way I've found to access these from the UK, is to subscribe to the TawzerDog streaming service for a month and binge-watch them(!).
Hannah also has a super book on competition obedience, published last year - called Awesome Obedience. It's available from Amazon UK and probably worldwide(!).
Hannah is on the faculty for the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy and frequently instructs online courses there, if you'd like to learn more with her.
In the podcast, I mentioned a free planner which Hannah has created - and which you can download from her website. If you go to this page of her site here, and look in the small box on the right of the screen (on a computer), you will see where it says 'Need help planning your training sessions?'. Here, you can input your email address to subscribe - and in return get her free planner and video on how to use it :)
