Hound Dog Network - The Ripple Effect: Timing Double in Dog Training Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

Traveling to hunt in different parts of the country will expose your hounds to different terrain, different styles and different challenges. While in Wisconsin hunting with Ross Ellwagner, Heath saw all those in this trip. On the way to a Rodeo Heath and Ross had a conversation about training and how the timing of corrections can classic condition more issues that sometimes we don’t think about. In this episode they talk about how that happens and how sometimes you are better off saving that correction for another day.
