Rabbit Season Safety: What Every Beginner and New Hunter Should Know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rabbit season is open here in Iowa, and before we get too caught up in the dogs, the races, and putting rabbits in the bag, I wanted to spend some time talking about safety. In this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man, I go through several things I think every rabbit hunter—especially somebody new to hunting with dogs—should think about before heading to the field. We start with muzzle control and the habits that matter while carrying a gun around other hunters and dogs. Then we get into knowing wh
What Are You Looking For in A Young Tree Dog? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you’re working with a young tree dog, it can be easy to focus on one question: Is he treeing yet? But there’s a whole lot more I’m watching before I ever decide what I think that young dog might become.

We get into the difference between teaching a dog and doing the work for him, why a little struggle can actually help build problem-solving ability, and how constantly directing a young dog can create one that starts waiting on
Do You Know What Motivates Your Dog? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do you actually know what motivates your dog? A lot of us have a certain way we like to train dogs, but one thing I've learned is that the same approach doesn't necessarily work the same way on every dog. In this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man, we're talking about learning the individual dog in front of you. Is that dog motivated by food? Praise? Play? Chase? Does pressure make him work harder, or does it cause him to shut down? And are the things we think are rewards actually rewarding to tha
