In CGA Member Wayne Triplett's case, his grandad was the first one to introduce him to the outdoors when he took him on his first turkey hunt. That defining moment in Wayne's life started a lifelong passion for the outdoors. Wayne's infectious enthusiasm for the sport and his dogs shines thro...

From that day forward, Todd has been in a passionate pursuit of the sport of waterfowl hunting. All waterfowlers can agree a good dog can make or break a hunt. Todd decided to take his hunting a ste...

All the way across the river and strong current. Stopped on the whistle and took a great back right cast to find the downed bird. Proud papa. Great experience, food, and stories. Love the videos.

    This podcast was great timing for me. I have a 10 month old chocolate that is the first dog I've ever trained to this extent of being a hunting dog and a hunt test dog. I'm struggling with some similar things with a bit of whining from him, but also with myself as a trainer trying to figure this out and get the most out of my dog that I know has so much potential. This helped put things in perspective and I'm also going to slow it down myself and enjoy it more. Thank you guys.

      If you "take it 10 times further" as mentioned in this video you will likely be at a place to move on by then. That said, the strongest practical advice is at the end of the video. Don't be afraid to move on. Worse thing that could happen is you need to take a step back.
