22. The Food Bowl Game - 6 Steps To Teaching Retrieve

Join LWDG Founder Jo Perrott for this podcast with Trainer and LWDG Featured Expert Michelle Oseman as they discuss training retrieves using a food bowl. This episode was initially filmed as part of an interview Jo was writing for the Gundog Journal. As Jo and Michelle chatted about training dogs in general, Michelle shared this content and we thought it was too good not to share with you. You can watch the video and supporting exercise information on the LWDG Blog Michelle Oseman's Background: After a highly successful corporate career, Michelle has been a companion and gundog training professional for over ten years and has recently relocated to just outside Bude in North Cornwall. She is an experienced Gundog handler, having gained Field Trial and Working test awards with her own Springer Spaniels and Working Cocker Spaniels. She has always worked her dogs in the shooting field, running up to 8 dogs a day. Michelle also writes regular articles for the Gundog Journal and Field Sports Magazines. Michelle’s passion for training, competing and working dogs led her to her training career. She is a positive, rewards-based, behavioural trainer who focuses her efforts on ensuring the handlers learn before the dog. Her friendly and methodical approach has been proven across many breeds and clients as shown in the testimonials she has received.  https://www.mapowders.co.uk/ If this episode inspired you, take a screenshot of you listening & post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag us, @ladiesworkingdogs Plan a month of effective 10-minute dog training sessions in just 1 hour!
