It's never bad enough that you can't go for a walk with your dog. I have hunted dogs in 90 degrees and -40 degrees. Just go out prepared for it and enjoy the short time of the year known as hunting season. That being said, seriously, you need to be prepared for what you are planning on doing. Walking around in forty below in a T-shirt will give you frostbite in like 3 minutes.

Leaves are changing! It's the best time of the year. Long walks with dogs, guns, and buddies are scheduled for the next 3 months.

I am so lucky to hang out with cool people and good dogs. Timber is the best dog a guy could ask for. She's 11 years old, and so is the kid that is swinging that gun. Getting kids outside and in nature is only hard if you make it.

The treasure at the end of the rainbow.

When I was a kid, I got away with dang near anything if it was "a scientific experiment." I one time blew up my radio in my bedroom during dinner on accident, but it was in the name of discovery... now my kids are learning to do science and have extra accomplices. At least one of the two is wearing some PPE.

I needed to put peepers on the pheasants. I figured I'd have some fun and get googly eyes since I'm only dealing with a handful of birds. It was totally worth the time and energy.

Zelda dreams of one day being called "big dawg." Unfortunately for Zelda, dreams don't always come true.

Let's also touch on a sore subject for some people. Why don't people train little dogs like big dogs? Zelda is learning to use her nose. She's getting better and better off leash obedience. She is headed to Texas soon to guard the yard and run off invading deer and squirrels. That being said, she's been treated no different than one of the dogs, and she has shown that even little dogs can learn to work like a real sized dog 😜

"What does running through water bottles and tires have to do with making a good hunting dog?"

The bottles or tires have nothing to do with it. It does teach the dog to charge through different things and build confidence that everything in life is fun. This was the first time these puppies had ever seen moving water or swimming. It didn't even register as a concern. This was the first time they were in grass this tall, and they just charged in. These things were developed first by overcoming the obstacles that were set up and very safe for them in the play area. In the very near future, they are going to get out in more and more dangerous situations, at which time I expect them to grass with the same bold confidence they do all new obstacles.

Building drive and confidence in dogs is important. Building a calm demeanor is IMPORTANTER!!!

I want a dog that can go hard all day long and isn't going to quit, but the reality of life is my dogs only get to hunt about 80 to 100 days a year. That leaves 265 days that they need to be able to relax and play dress up with my girl or watch a soccer match with my boys.

People allow puppies to get away with murder because they are little and cute. The truth is that puppies need to be held to a standard as well, or you're going to develop loads of bad habits. If you noticed, only one tried jumping on me. I gave it a soft correction and never jumped on me again. My standards are easy for puppies. Don't jump on me, don't bite me, act appropriate according to the situation, meaning be calm when it's time to be calm and be feral when it's time to run wild. Jumping and biting at this age aren't going to cause any real damage, but in 2 months, that same puppy mind set with a bigger, stronger body can get the puppy in big trouble.

These are some seriously food aggressive dogs!

OK, that's a complete lie. None of these puppies have any issues with resource guarding. The reason for that is 🎶 "they come from the land of plenty" 🎶

These puppies don't have any reason to be concerned with food because they have never been hungry at the end of feeding time. They also know that more food is available if they need it.

Would a bigger trough be nice for them? Yeah, maybe. But they also learn now that they can eat next to another dog and don't need to worry about anything. They are learning that humans both big and small are going to be by you potentially when you eat.

EVERYTHING you do with a puppy is training it for something later on. I am training mine for a fun crazy busy life that includes kids, hunting, obedience, traveling, and anything else along the way. If they grow up in a bubble, life is going to surprise them.
