Summary

Yup, tonight's show is a goodie. We had the pleasure of chatting with our good buddy, Dakota Mealer, a fine shootin' duck hunter and an even more talented pro dog trainer. We reminisce a little about our Arkansas hunt a few years back (pssst... we should go again!), we learn about how Dakota first started hunting for coons and quail in the Georgia woods and then made his way over to waterfowl. He's been in the game for a long time and is extremely knowledgeable about training and bringing the best out of his dogs. In fact, we spend the bulk of the show comparing/contrasting techniques for force work, t pattern and how to problem solve with a dog. Listen carefully because this is a very educational show, especially if you're looking to fine tune your dog OR go hit up Dakota at Goldhill Retrievers in Auburn, Alabama. Want to work your dog like a pro? Check out some of the items we use to help coach our dogs here. Lone Duck's Gun Dog Chronicles is happily part of the Waypoint Outdoor Collective.
