102. When A Behaviour Becomes A Habit

In this week's episode, we have Samantha Thorneycroft-Taylor sharing crucial insights on how little habits can become big issues in your gundog's behaviour. Ever laughed at a cute puppy antic, only to find it turns into a problematic habit? We delve into how to identify these behaviours early on and set the stage for successful, stress-free training. Every interaction with your dog is a training opportunity. Samantha will help you align those little moments with your larger training goals, whether you're preparing for the shooting field or simply nurturing your dog's instincts. This episode is packed with actionable advice. Don't miss it, especially if you’re looking to crack the code on why your gundog behaves the way it does.
