More Than a Dog Trainer: The World of Delmar Smith -------------------- Episode 300! It’s hard to believe it’s been over five years since starting the show. It’s been an incredible journey, capturing conversations with so many people from across the dog training and hunting world. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and learning from some of the most respected voices in the space. That said, I recently had the opportunity to interview perhaps the most legendary name in the bird dog world—Mr. Delmar Smith. Over the course of a few days, we picked his brain, listened to his stories, and walked away with a treasure trove of footage. What began as a simple podcast episode quickly evolved into something more—a "docu-cast." Instead of just another interview, this project became a deep dive into Delmar’s life, family, business, and the seemingly endless supply of stories that only a man like him could tell. In this special episode, I sit down with the friends who were along for the ride as we reflect on what it was like to get to know Delmar, hear his backstory, and experience firsthand the impact he’s had on the world of bird dogs. -------------------- Highlights: 00:00:00 Introduction: The Delmar Smith Experience 00:01:15 Humble Beginnings & Shattered Expectations 00:06:15 The Mission: Honoring the Bird Dog Foundation 00:14:00 Dog Assessment & Confirmation 00:18:45 Delmar's "Accidental" Approach 00:23:30 Observation and Learning from Nature 00:34:45 The Changing Landscape 00:44:30 A Positive Mindset & the Serenity Prayer 00:50:00 The Smith Method & a Life of Intentionality 01:09:00 Training, Balance, and the Pursuit of Knowledge -------------------- Presented By: Standing Stone Supply | Check out their step by step Online Courses and Use Code 'GDIY' to save 15% onX Hunt Maps | Use Code 'GDIY20' to save 20% Upland Gun Company | Check out their online gun builder and construct your dream gun today!

We hung out and ran some dogs through a few drills then sat down to record this conversation in which we talk about some hurdles or challenges for a lot of folks wanting to train their own bird dogs. Watch Here! The impact of wild bird populations on how we train. You don't need land and birds everyday to train a bird dog. Develop a language with the dog Find the highest common denominator Keeping sessions short and incremental. For both kids and dogs! Avoid being a greedy trainer Develop the dogs like a kid but don't TREAT them like a kid The dog worlds getting better about timelines and drive management Theres no ribbons given out for training Starting with a win Eventually you may have to push them through Sometimes they have to do it.

]]> 6252 287. Urban Gun Dog Trainer Not all professional gun dog trainers have the land and resources that are typically associated with training gun dogs. Josh Wiggins of Houston Dog Works joins me for a wide ranging conversation on his training perspectives that affords him the capability to train sporting dogs while living and operating in a major city such as Houston, TX. This is also what motivated him to start his new company Gundog Garage! Watch Here! Behavior modifications are the same as regular training Dog training pricing and gun dogs vs pet dogs Dog training is dog training BUT not all dog trainers are dog trainers Genetics absolutely matter! But they aren't everything! Genetics can overshadow training but training can also overshadow genetics Are you actually a 'team' if the dog is simply working to get it's own reward?

]]> 5835 281. A BALANCED Approach to Dog Training In this episode, we explore the value of continuous learning and the importance of embracing new perspectives in dog training. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's always room to grow by stepping outside your comfort zone. I'm joined by Randall Lykens of Liberty Canine, Justin Rigney of K9 Services Unlimited, Tim Andrews, and Chris Armanini of Full Send K9 for an insightful discussion on how trainers in the gun dog community—and beyond—can benefit from incorporating fresh approaches into their training routines. Watch Here! The dog's perception of pressure while in drive Impulse control and the value of the dog taking a lesser reward while in drive You may THINK you want the dog with the highest drive.... Charged markers and owning the dog's stomach via food Why do these guys train the way they do? Create a world where the dog cant self reward! Getting the enthusiasm WITH the control People's reluctance to consider new approaches Everything evolves Women are better trainers and the impact that has had within dog breeding Preparing for pressure and theres not a one way fix for everything Old school pressure on/pressure off training gets boring. Make training ENJOYABLE again What is actually in it for the dog to retrieve? Teaching the out and how Force Fetch can actually be used to fix barking and leaking You are your own architect to your training process. Make some art! The dogs are constantly analyzing us The hardest aspect of training is the human Dogs are master manipulators and ALWAYS studying you!

]]> 3126 274. Markers & Reward Structure - Part 1 "I wish the dog could understand what I'm saying!" A very relatable request or wish that any dog trainer has probably uttered at some point or another. The truth is though, with the proper approach and consistency, you can get the dog to at least understand "yes" or "no" which does allows you to communicate more effectively with your dog. Jared Warren of Southern State K9 joins us in a two part discussion on building and utilizing markers. You cant discuss markers without at least working level of understanding when it comes to reward structures as well. Watch Here! What is a "marker" The types of markers: reward, duration, terminal, indirect reward, negative You're actually using markers whether intending to do so or not Dog training isn't just one way ~ "There are 9 million ways to Rome" Sometimes the best option is to go backwards and reset Charging the marker "Free shaping" vs "luring" Luring = "mechanical shaping" Mark and....release, keep going, reward The hope of reward has to outweigh the struggle of behavior Subscribe to the podcast to make sure you don't miss Part 2 next week! - 2024 GDIY Pheasant Hunt | Come hunt with myself and Ethan of Standing Stone Kennels! - Presented By: Standing Stone Supply | Check out their step by step Online Courses and Use Code 'GDIY' to save 15% onX Hunt Maps | Use Code 'GDIY20' to save 20% Sweet Briar Pet Transport | Call (317) 513-4481 for your free quote today!

]]> 3269 273. Training Patience In this episode, we're joined by Ben Fretz from North Country Sporting Dogs to discuss the most common concerns in the dog training world. Whether you're a DIY trainer, a professional, or a dog owner who hires a trainer, one truth remains: every dog is unique and won't follow the same path. However, the pressure often mounts once a date is set on the calendar. Ben shares his insights on why patience isn't just a virtue in dog training—it's a requirement. Tune in to learn how to stay calm and focused on the individual needs of your dog, regardless of the timeline. Watch Here! It's important to have goals. Just not at the expense of the dog. Is there more concern over impatience at the entry level or the advanced level of testing? Teach developing skills rather than passing a test Focus on the relationship and handling skills Better ways to expose new owners and pups The proper foundation requires patience The only people that have real deadlines are pro trainers. Not DIY trainers. A calm mind to train doesn't meant you punish or suppress the dog to achieve it You don't always have to have birds Troubleshooting problems.

Very often we hear the phrase "function over form" and Lonnie explains why it shouldn't be an either/or situation and we should be striving for both form AND function.

Watch Here!

  • What are conformation shows?
  • The different classes and what it takes to earn championships
  • Compete in 'classes' then move into the 'groups' before entering the 'best in show'
  • Dogs are judged against a breed standard. Then the dogs compete as to who best meets the standard.
  • The dog's 'structure' determines how they move more than external factors
  • Where do the breed standards come from?
  • The requirements of becoming a judge and keeping up with all of the breed standards
  • The 12,5,4 Rule (12 years, 5 litters bred, and 4 champions out of those litters)
  • Balancing the looks with the purpose of the breed
  • Sometimes a breed is so pretty its detrimental
  • If there is a way to put a title on a dog then people will do it
  • The dog behavior needed in the show ring
  • The politics of the show ring environment

Nate Czarnota of Iron Oak Dog Co. joins me to talk about the principles of dog training and how paying attention to learning theory can help you recognize what is actually connecting and driving your dog. Nate is a graduate from the NEPOPO Gold School and has since enjoyed helping teach others how they can have a better trained dog while improving their relationship with the dog by focusing on the "WHY."

]]> 911 262. Preserving the Family There are things that you may have thought were the primary reasons or benefits of getting into the gun dog world but, come to find out, there are other aspects that start to present themselves that make you realize theres a lot more to it. Perhaps its not all about the birds. Perhaps its not even just about the dog. Perhaps its about certain relationships, traditions, and family values that start to stand above all else. The last episode recorded in the Eukanuba booth at Pheasant Fest is with the amazing family from Three Arrows Hunting Preserve. Parents Ben and Diane join me with two of their adult children Elizabeth and James to try and put into words exactly what this lifestyle has meant to them as a family. From the invaluable life lessons taught to the kids through hard work and stewarding the land, to what its like owning and operating a multi-generational farm! WATCH HERE! Brittanys, breeding, and the farm! Entering into the Hunt Smith world What is the best way to go about getting your kids involved? "Never settle!" What has the land meant to the family over the years? Chase your dreams!

Going through some of the back catalog and re-listening to some of the older episodes, I was honestly surprised at some of the information and details I have forgotten myself over the years. I wanted to try and highlight some of these guests and topics so I am going through and scrubbing some of the episodes and "remastering" them.

Going through some of the back catalog and re-listening to some of the older episodes, I was honestly surprised at some of the information and details I have forgotten myself over the years. I wanted to try and highlight some of these guests and topics so I am going through and scrubbing some of the episodes and "remastering" them. Im cutting out any of the fluff such as the intros or outros so you hear just the meat and potatoes of these conversations. This should allow you to revisit these older episodes without having to sit through anything that happens to no longer be timely or applicable to the topic. In the first version of the new "recall" episodes, Im revisiting Ep. 85 The Dog Nose Best with Tom Brownlee which was originally released on 3/15/21. In the episode we dive into how our dog's noses work along with a bit of scent theory and how it behaves in different situations. This is not only applicable in hunting scenarios but, I would argue, even more important to consider when setting up your training scenarios in the off season. VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and how a dog's nose physically works Physical characteristics for a dog that helps them smell better?

However, there are a few people in the world who truly depend on their dog's performance. Their dog's preparedness and training can truly have an impact on whether someone lives or dies. For these dogs and their handlers, mission success is far greater than a ribbon or plaque to hang on the wall. In order to operate at this high of a level, it's a requirement to remain proficient and knowledgeable on the most effective ways to train these dogs. This week we sit down with Randall Lykens of Liberty Canine. Randall is the previous kennel master for the US Army Rangers and provides us with a ton of new perspectives as it pertains to dog training and how lessons learned in the working canine space can be directly applied to gun dog training. At the end of the day, the principles of dog training are the principles of dog training regardless of the individual dog's job. So why not try and learn from individuals who's training has such high stakes? How does one become an Army Ranger Kennel Master? Drives and building the operant dog first E-collars are a gas pedal.

The St Huberts trial was a completely different style of event than what we've all grown accustomed to and it was encouraging to see a "new" concept or idea find success. It made us curious as to what else might be possible within the bird dog community if we started openly discussing and pitching fresh ideas. Can the community still show up and just have fun?

Getting To Know Nick After years of doing this podcast, the number one request I receive from listeners is an episode about my backstory, how I got into the dog world, and my thoughts or opinions on varying topics. While I did a profile episode myself touching on some of this years ago, things change and it was time for an update. Long time listener and supporter of the show, Scott Kinnane, has probably been the most adamant about requesting this episode and when he offered to compile a wide ranging collection of questions I decided it would be fun to finally get out of my comfort zone and do it. Some of the questions are about my past while some are about my opinions on important matters such as conservation and mentorship. My opinions may not reflect some of the more common responses you typically hear in the space but they're at least honest and, as always, Im open for meaningful discussion on the subjects.

]]> 1790 182. Trainer Fight! The common saying is the only thing you can get two dog trainers to agree on is that the third trainer doesn't know what they're doing.
