Houndsman XP - We Can Learn a Lot from Bird Dog Trainers

Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

Bird Dogs, Hounds, Terriers, or Cur Dogs all learn the same. The techniques for getting Xtreme Performance from your hunting dogs are transferrable. In all cases, understanding the basics of training, dog behavior, selection for breeding pairs and puppies and how to manipulate and control behavior will make your time hunting more enjoyable and successful.

On this episode of the Journey on the Houndsman XP Podcast Network we are going across the country to the state of Utah in order to learn more about what it takes to make a top notch bird dog. Heath meets up with Tyler Smith from Eagle Mountain, Utah to talk about the Deutsch Kurzhaar. Tyler is the Vice President of Deutsh-Kurzhaar Group North America (DKGNA). He’s been hunting DK’s since he was in grade school. That turned into training dogs full time. Tyler’s passion for DK jumps out during this conversation between Heath and Tyler. They talk about the DKGNA and what it stands for. Heath and Tyler touch on puppies, training, breed selection and holding an above average standard. Tyler gets into how important temperament is to him. This is a trip you don’t want to miss. Join us on The Journey.
