Episode #55 Inside An Arizona Bird Dog Clinic With Molicone Kennels | Part 2 of 2

We stay in the field with Guy Molicone Jr. and get honest about what bird dogs need most at each stage, from prey drive to steadiness and safe gun work. We trade stories and practical drills that help a dog love birds, learn control, and keep everyone safe when shots and nerves get real. • Building prey drive before advanced control tools • Working with emotionally sensitive pointing breeds • Using silence versus hype to shape engagement • Letting a dog carry the bird as a reward • Why some pointing dogs value the point over the retrieve • Critical feedback on Zona and Happy and what to shore up • Building a reliable stop through flush and shot • Safer hunting setups when mentoring new shooters • Avoiding weekend “cramming” and using rest days • How clinics help owners learn faster and make fewer mistakes Visit us online at azquailtoday.com and be sure to follow us on social media for the latest information and updates. Connect with us: Email us at [email protected] —we'd love to hear from you! Follow us on Instagram at @azquailtoday
