We're glad we found someone who is cares so much about what you do with these dogs.

Big thank you to John and Amy Jo at Kuckers Point Kennels!! As a lot of you know I take training these dogs very personal and they become part of my family so when I refer a service from another business for these dogs it’s personal to me and I truly research the businesses I will refer people to. I trained Odyn a few years ago and he is still one of my favorite boys!! I love getting feedback from an experience that his mom had on someone that I referred her too. Thank you John and Amy for taking such good care of my boy Odyn and helping his family feel safe with leaving him with you!!

When Delmar Smith first worked the chutes at the inaugural Timed Event Championship four decades ago, he was already at an age when most men are contemplating retirement.

And now, at an age when most men have long since stepped away from the arena—he turns 100 this July—Smith has become inseparable from it. A beloved fixture at the Lazy E Arena, he has been the gateman for every Timed Event Championship since, cracking the chutes on every run for every cowboy ➡️ https://bit.ly/4lc632G

Training a bird dog is like weaving a tapestry, each thread contributing to the final picture.

Each step is dependent on the others. Nothing is random. Nothing is without purpose. And to skip a step blurs the picture for both dog and handler. Follow these steps in our training method and develop clarity with your bird dog:

⭐️Foundation Training Seminar shapes obedience and develops physical cues with a lead or a rope.

⭐️Intermediate Training Seminar transitions those cues to remote cues of the e-collar in the field and begins steadying on birds.

⭐️Advanced Training Seminar brings it all together in hunting scenarios on game birds.

Join us at our bird dog training seminars this year to learn the full process!

The 24-Hour Silence Experiment

Two weeks ago I asked a few of my customers to try something slightly radical:

Stop talking to your dog for 24 hours.

No narration.
No constant cues.
No “who’s a good boy?”
Just silence, aside from genuine safety needs.

And here’s what most of you discovered…

Your dog was calmer.

Not shut down. Not sad. Just calmer.

Because voice carries energy. Dogs don’t understand English the way we imagine, they read tone, pitch, tension, rhythm. Constant chatter keeps the nervous system ticking over. Remove the verbal clutter and you reduce stimulation.

Many of you noticed:
• More resting
• Less pacing
• Fewer attention-seeking nudges
• Better lead flow
• More eye contact

When you stopped talking, your dog started watching.

They shifted to their natural language, spatial awareness. Shoulders, hips, movement speed, direction of travel. And funnily enough… it worked better.

Some of you got an extinction burst at first:
Nudge → paw → bark → dramatic sigh.

That’s not emotional damage. That’s a behaviour losing its automatic reward.

The biggest surprise?

Some of you felt uncomfortable. A bit guilty. A bit mean.

Which tells us something important:
We often talk to regulate ourselves, not the dog.

And here’s the kicker, when you did use a cue, it worked better.

Because it wasn’t diluted by repetition.

“Come” means more when it isn’t said 43 times a day.

This experiment isn’t about never speaking to your dog. It’s about deliberate communication.

Say less.
Mean more.
Use your body.
Keep cues clean.
Remove emotional leakage.

Leadership isn’t louder.

It’s clearer.

And sometimes the most powerful thing you can say…

…is absolutely nothing.
