194. Rick Smith

from Gun Dog It Yourself Hosted by Nick Adair

This week we have the living legend himself, Rick Smith. The Smith family have been a staple of the bird dog world for the better part of a century at this point and have been the helper/teacher for countless people trying to learn how to train their own bird dogs. Theres still a seemingly endless amount of information and experience from guys such as Rick that is truly inspiring and motivates us to do more and more with our dogs! E-collars aren't "shock collars" Starting out in competition The "Whoa Peg" into the belly band Times prior to e-collars "Horse" vs "dog" trainers The natural progression of the Smith Method Be silent and keep on searching! This is "Basic!" Remove the grey area and train without emotions Structure and manners Are dogs or people softer now a days? Give them an inch and they take the mile Be FAIR & QUIET! -- Presented By: Final Rise Upland Gun Company - Other Partners: Eukanuba // Bird Dog Society - GDIY Links: Patreon//Instagram//Facebook//Website
