Summary

Joined by our buddy, Kevin Cheff, The Retriever Coach, Bob sits down for an in-house show to chat through handling on marks, retired guns and handling on retired guns. We’ve had Kevin on the show before and his ability to break down difficult drills into something anyone can understand is second to none. If you’re interested, you should check out the Fetch program here. Here's a few highlights from the show: Establishing a strong foundation for each dog 3 reasons why you would handle on a mark Pro tip: always have factors work with each other… not against each other!
