E 132. How to pass The Grand with Clark Kennington

Do you run any sort of test with your dog? If yes, then listen up. On today's show, Bob chats with our good buddy, Clark Kennington. As a repeat guest on the show, you might be familiar with how talented and articulate Clark is and on this episode he unleashes about 500 pro tips on how to be a better handler. We dig into the HRC Grand and what it takes to play that game, both as a handler and dog..... and pass it. Here's a couple items we address on the show: Why do you slow down at the line. Why monitor wind direction. How does Clark take detailed notes for each dog and when. When to move around at the line (if possible) to set the dog up for success. Do we recall dogs when training on marks... why? when? Thank you to Clark for coming on and hangin' out. Give him a follow and you'll be glad you did. *Lone Duck's Gun Dog Chronicles is part of the Waypoint Outdoor Podcast Network. Check 'em out. Learn more about your ad choices.
