Show notes

This week we talk with experienced Maine Search and Rescue handler Spencer Fuller. Spencer has been utilizing GSPs for years to accomplish Search and Rescue tasks including tracking people lost in the woods to recovering bodies out of the water. Spencer and his dogs have been through it all and its fascinating to hear just how similar a lot of their tasks and training are when it compares to how we train and hunt birds with them.

83. Dueling Trainers Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

This week we do something a little different. Angie Barron threw out a challenge to Scott Caldwell to do a joint episode where they discuss a few different topics to see where they agree and possibly disagree. Scott, not one to shy away from a fight, accepted Angie's challenge and they both covered topics such as Impulse Control, Actual vs Perceived Pressure, Driving w/ Force, Force Fetch, and the most dreaded topic of all: TUG OF WAR! Let us know who you think won this fight! (In all seriousness, there wasnt much fighting in this believe it or not....)
