EP 224: Gone To The Dogs with Bruce Janssen

Bruce Janssen of Otterbein, Indiana has devoted his life to training sporting dogs, both pointing dogs and hounds.  Having hunted dogs for the public and for himself for most of his seventy-three years, Bruce has made a habit of studying the things that do and do not work in the realm of coonhound training.Steve and Bruce spend an hour and three-quarters talking about things like how dogs think differently than humans, how jealousy is a prime motivator in getting the switch flipped on a young project and how too much hunting can be as bad as too little.Sacred cows, pet training methods and popular ideas alike are fair game as the straight-talking Janssen, a standard-bearer among coon dog trainers, shares from his vast storehouse of coon dog experience and know-how.   This is coon dog training spoken in a language coon hunters, regardless of level of experience, will appreciate and understand.    We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  www.dusupply.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts
