[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Key concept: Every time a retriever hears the sit whistle he should understand that he needs to change directions with the next cast. Therefore stopping a dog and sending back to the original destination sends the wrong message. Whistle sit...ALWAYS change direction with the next cast....makes the T and double T more efficient in terms of teaching that key concept of no whistle= lining the correct route, whistle=need to change destination with next cast

Bob, first time long time lol. Just wanted to say I’ve been an amateur trainer for a long time and I often struggle with making drills make sense and I started watching your videos and you just talk at a blue collar level without the arrogance of others I’ve heard try to do these videos. Thank you and if you’re ever in Montana I’ve got 22 acres you’re always welcome to train or air dogs any time!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Quinn!!!! Love that girl!!

[@adomaina1585]

I bought a puppy at a very affordable price from Onlinedogs_sale on instagram. they got the best offer. I recommend you to do same

[@SamMacyDesigns]

Hey Bob! Not sure if you take questions or not but I’m going to throw one out there if you do. Just got back from opening day of duck season in Vermont, my buddy’s yellow lab is 3 years old and has been great in the past. This morning he would hammer after downed ducks and once he’d have them in his mouth he’d just drop them and stare at them or walk super slowly back to the boat with them. He’ll usually hammer out and haul butt back. Not sure if he’s ill or just unmotivated, any tips would be great! Thank a bunch.

[@leeboyfla2]

clearest break down of a drill I've ever heard. A lot of times amateur trainers cant help the dog understand because they in-fact don't understand. you killed the explanation & your podcast (Lone Ducks Gun Dog Chronicles) is Fire!!!!

[@trevorkylesthingsarbon1195]

These are so good. So stoked I've came across all your info. I've got nothing but great things and comments from guys that work/know you or gotten a pup from you. Thank you thank you thank you

[@randystern7870]

If you need to force fetch, you need to upgrade your pedigree and spay or neuter the dogs you've got. Learn to train.

[@colegerold7862]

Great video! Would love to see an intro to whistle sit video.

[@loneduckoutfitters]

Great idea, thank you.

[@angeloiacomini5218]

Great video big fan of you guys and Standing Stone. I can definitely see you getting more comfortable with the videoing. Content is always awesome. Thanks for your efforts and sharing.

[@loneduckoutfitters]

Appreciate the kind words. We'll never be as awesome as Standing Stone but we'll try to keep up. We're huge fans of them, too.

"I love big, 3" white ones, or black ones" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@brodychannell115]

How far is your post set on the backs?

[@michigangundogoutdoors9234]

One of the last donts you mentioned was don’t use orange bummers why is that? Is there a place for orange bummers in training?

[@loneduckoutfitters]

good question. orange ones are for blinds

[@chadhanson3431]

How is it that you teach the dog to turn around and look at you when you have the dog sit on the whistle?

[@DawsonOdom]

Hey Bob, Could you do a video on doing more advanced hand casting? I know when a dog gets more advanced, they can do different directions besides hard right, hard left, back. For example, they could go diagonal to the right etc. how would you teach this? Thanks!

[@loneduckoutfitters]

We’re loading more videos soon and one will be on that topic

[@karstic]

Wagon wheel drill

[@ozcarp]

Strike dog!!!!

[@lukecolohan3761]

IMO...this drill should be called "GO" "STOP" "COME". This isnt where a dog learns to handle. Just my 2 cents.

[@scottclarke4354]

I’m curious, because I’m new to this. In your opinion how do you teach a dog to handle?

[@lukecolohan3761]

I still run single T i just think there is a misconception in what we as trainers are trying to teach the dogs. I still teach/run all the drills. Pattern blind, blind drill and diversions and walk arounds. Before i ever try to run a cold blind. Look at Dennis Voiggts 25 essential retriever training drills for handling.

[@drewclements04]

Are the 3" bumpers better for visability? Any reason you wouldn't do the smaller bumpers?

[@loneduckoutfitters]

Yes but mostly that's what we use for training, so that's what we have. If you only have smaller ones, use 'em.

[@michaelpawlitz3109]

Strike Dog!

[@KM-md5sn]

how does he train his dog to stop and stay while running away? I know he uses the whistle to cue it, but how did he start?

[@reddhutchinson2788]

Good session. Thx

[@sportsandhobies]

Great video! I now subscribed to the channel

[@spongesmith5456]

Love the crocks, beautiful dog.

[@loneduckoutfitters]

Cheers! Haha

Great video man, I'm picking up my german wire hair next weekend and I've enjoyed watching your videos. Awesome info

[@loneduckoutfitters]

[@richardelizondo1]

explain… when using the E-Collar ??

[@coastalalabamasportsman9546]

I know this is an older video, but does that little bit of mouthing when returning the bumper cause an issue for you? I’ve got a 6 month old that I’m about to FF and she’s pretty mouthy (cigar holding, rolling a bumper, etc)

[@loneduckoutfitters]

it depends on how bad it is but FF should help correct this.

[@isaachawkins3293]

At What distance is the t mowed. 100yrds back and 100 across?

[@nicklausmisiti5204]

Was wondering the same thing, hopefully you get an answer
