Episode 065: Training All Working Dogs Individually w/Jeff Lemmenes

Jeff Lemmenes, aka Lumpy of Lumpy's Kennel is one of the best trainers and humans you'll meet. Jeff has trained nearly any type of working dog you can imagine.. pointing breeds, flushers, retrievers, hounds, terriers, you name it. If there's game to be harvested with some dog work, Jeff has most likely trained dogs for it. He has recently focused his breeding program and personal hunting dogs with Spinone and Bracco Italiano. And with so many of you requesting an episode about the Bracco, you will surely love this one. There's a lot of great advice in this episode and some real hard belly laughs.
