Summary

Tonight we have the pleasure of sitting down IN PERSON with our good buddy and retriever training all-star, Kevin Cheff (The Retriever Coach). If you haven't heard our other shows with Kevin, then do yourself a massive favor and scroll back to our previous shows and enjoy them: Episodes 97, 118, 126, 158 and 159A. The last two shows were a two-part series where Kevin explained all sorts of unique drills to help train your dog and tonight's show is similar. We begin the show getting to know Kevin a little more and hear about getting into the retriever world and then we hear about some of the seminars he has been at this summer. Kevin has a very impressive history competing with dogs in the HRC and Field Trial game, so his seminars are super thorough and educational. Seriously, if you haven't been to one or joined his FETCH program, then you should look into something like that. Then we dig into a full Q&A with Kevin from our patreon friends and he and Bob tag team some ways to solve problems while training duck dogs at all levels. Here's some of the topics covered: long swims in AKC tests and Derbys, building confidence, cold water and pups, fetching objects, creating an effective training plan, teaching swim by and the common pitfalls to watch out for, Master tests, poison birds and a ton more.
