@@TruffleForager ik
WoW is it like a tourism guide or did you actually decide to partner up with some pros and find white truffles
What an exciting alternative event to last years successful festival! Can’t wait! Congratulations to you both btw 🍼👨👩👦
Perfect venue!
It's looking good :-)
Looks glorious!! Nice vid sir 👌🏽
Thank pal
Hi there. Good podcast where in the UK are you hunting truffles. I’m in the SE I don’t think there is much here. My dog loves scenting. Did a truffle run a while back but it was a plant. Love to try and hunt for the real ones
Hi Marco, thanks for commenting. You can certainly find truffles in SE England if you hit the right spots. And other truffles are everywhere. Most people just aren't looking. If you're thinking of getting your dog into some Truffle dog training specific stuff... you might be interested in this next event I'm putting on 3rd August. It's called the Summer Truffle Discovery Day (for dog owners and truffle lovers) It'll be in West Sussex. Want me to send you more info? ping me an email ben@truffleforager.com ✌️
Great interview, your pronunciation of lagotto Romagnolo needs work Ben. enjoyed this!
Thanks Kerry!! yes you are so right! I struggle everytime 😄
@@TruffleForager hehe easily done. But once you know you know 👌
'PromoSM' 💖
Congratulations Jon and Tembo of course!
Lovely, what is the name of the paper that was published by Paul Thomas?
Do you know what, I don't know... which paper were you specifically referring too....as he's done many I believe. I'll try and see if I can find out. Good question.
I was going to watch it until there was too much talking without information
no worries
Great interview! I can relate to both of you on so many levels. We brought home a 10-month-old German Shepherd abandoned at a bus stop half a month ago and while I was giving him his first lessons, socializing him with our other adopted dog I just realized how much I love doing this. Now I'm seriously questioning my career choices... Best of luck!
haha yeah... been there and making the leap! Good luck
Resultt, though how do you teach him to NOT eat them ? May aswell have utilized a pig! (Joking 😆). Buddy bouye ballin!
Yes exactly!! it's probbaly the difference between a pro and amateur truffle hunter. A lot of people struggle with the dogs eating the truffles. How though would be a longer convo. do you have a dog?
@@TruffleForager Aye, I wonder if you're able to teach a strict "NO!" in other aspects of their life and training previously, you're able to put that towards them consuming any truffle as they realize it will come with a negative reaction from us- the owner. However theyre such bloody ADHD creatures... im sure its still a big challenge to avoid them catching some dopamine when the opportunity arises for them 😆 Cheers for the response mate. And no I don't! Once I get some land and my homestead up and going, I do have slight intentions on investing my time into a truffle dog from young, but I'd want to be nearish an established forest for that to viable. Also a long, long way away! (2030s at the earliest 😅). Love to see your journey with Buddy though brotha, appreciate the unique and niche content
they forgot autumn
That truffle is enormous. Probably costs a small fortune for one that size.
i hope you pinned that location on google maps they wil be there every year brother
Don't worry, we go back ha!...
🔥
If he stopped any faster, he'd have moved the earth under him XD
He's a good lad! - He was hoping for a tennis ball tho.. not a treat ha
@@TruffleForager Can never beat a good tennis ball to be fair 😂
U must be in a nice oart of england somewhere. Definitely not anywhere in London or those big cities.
Posh countryside near Windsor this is Moved out of london... thank goodness
I feel like my part of the country would be good too for this. Cornwall and Somerset. Not Devon. Too... devonish
What a dog!!
HE's a legend! - Finds me truffles too
Italy?
Nope.... most White truffles are found outside Italy
Dear sir, Hope you are doing well. I was analyzing your UA-cam channel. I am really impressed by your videos but your UA-cam channel has some issues. You have made many videos but your UA-cam channel is not getting views and subscribers as expected. Because you have no complete SEO for any videos, no channel tags, no video tags, If you SEO your videos, your subscribers, views will increase and your channel will grow. I can help you if you want.
These 4-legged dopamine deficient loving beasts cant help but crave that dopa-buzz after the first time experiencing that impulse induced gratification hahaha, play is crack to them! 😂 Cheers for the advice mate
Thanks Skeet. I hear that
Thank you 🙏
Please take this as a compliment; but when I first saw your video I thought Sean Locke had been collecting mushrooms. Great video.
He is so likeable 🤗
Say hello to Daniel
Thank you Subscribed 🤗I 🤎 your content 💯🇬🇧⭐️
Nice one dude
how its that test
'Promosm' 💦
Great discussion, thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Its a pair of bum cheeks, that iss goood 😂😂😂😭😭 Love you bro
Oh dear use ur t shirt! Awesome
What a great interview! Thanks for sharing!
Antibiotic
Hes shook but waiting for your organism to express concerned emotions itself before dipping and running away ahahaha, my interpretation 😂😂
False morels are poisonous that’s why they’re called false morels to warn people not to confuse them with true morels which are delicious
Buddy is adorable
A joy to watch sir, gorgeous dog and so well trained he's an absolute credit to you. I'm already confident Buddy will make you a millionaire 🙂🙂
Haha thank you 🙏 yes he is a gem of a dog… not sure about millions… but hopefully a few truffles to come 🤞🤞🤞
When I tried cooking the chicken in the woods we brought back from Scotland I think it was a fail… your idea looks much tastier.
The freshness of moistness I’ve found makes all the difference 😀
I didn't know that!
Disgusting either way lol
@@TruffleForager i heard they're a delicacy tho? I found one yesterday, I may give it a go.
Great discussion! I had client recently reach out to me regarding a truffle hunting training protocol. I don’t live in an area for practical “real-world” experience, but I certainly have a passion for scent work and pointed her to some of the work being done by Jim Sanford, the owner of Blackberry Farm, where is raising truffle-hunting dogs using the same technique as any scent work trainer building value to odor, including search and rescue. I look forward to interacting with more of your content. Cheers 😊
Thought these were poisonous!! Maybe they contain hydrazine like morels and agarics... But once cooked theyre fine ?
Yes it is toxic. Different species within the genue have variying degrees of toxiscity as I understand it. However, if it is prepared in specific ways it can become edible... I am experimenting with this now for the first time. Boiling the mushroom several times to get rid of the toxins... The taste is yet to be determined haha... Probably not worth the effort. But in some countries it's considered a delicacy. NOT ONE TO TRY AT HOME KIDS ha.
@@bensweet5452 lol interesting, yeah defo too much effort, though if food is scarce... Great knowledge to attain aye! Preciate you sharing mate
Amazing amount! Thought I had found a lot last winter but pale into comparison!
Even a little goes a long way hahaha... these babies ended up making it to our UK Truffle Festival a few days later... hence why I kept going and collecting so many ha! - Elusive little devils these are! Glad you've been finding some :-) What's on the list of new shrooms to find this year?
good vid, that bolete was a scarlatina
Hey, thanks wakawaka!! glad you liked the video... planning to post more soon :-)
Fantastic!

Incredibly good information! Both for my husband going into scent work with his WL GSD and me for tips with my PWC even though we aren't going into scent work.
Thanks Sylvia, really glad you found the conversation useful. And exciting to hear abour what you're up to.. .What is PWC btw? forgive my lack of knowledge on abbreviations lol
@@TruffleForager No problem. It stands for Pembroke Welsh Corgi an amazing medium sized dog on very short legs classified in the herding group. Smart as can be, very confident and willing to argue his side of the story while being very loving and willing to learn at the same time.
Super informative. I love the highlight on the importance of play and toys with motivating our dogs. Nate does a great job of really laying out the process for helping the dog learn. Always learning!!!! 🎉
Yeah I loved that emphasis also. I find it quite easy to act the fool and play like a crazy person with my dog… but I know a lot of people don’t automatically get the importance and of play and being exciting to your dog… glad the conversation covered this. Thanks for your comment Beatriz
Playing with my pup was difficult for me. We had Jack Russel Terriers for years and you handled them by being understated in your voice and movements unless you actually wanted them ricocheting off the walls. I have become more animated with my little guy but it has been a struggle for me. I really appreciated the tip about throwing the "fetch" toy and then racing the dog to it! Brilliant! I immediately tried that out in our afternoon play session and it was a BIG hit. And, I agree, Nate does a superb job explaining not only how to do something but also explaining the process and rationale behind the system. The learning never ends, and I mean that not just for my pup but me, the trainer of my pup, as well.
@@sylviamcneill4372 really interesting for me to learn about challenges with other breads and play and training etc. glad that chaseing ball tip was helpful tho 💪
