Episode 128 - enjoying the journey and structuring your training on blinds

Update: 2025-03-26

Description

I talk about prioritising your enjoyment of the actual activity of working your dog in the field, separate to any achievements, goals or objectives. It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.

I also talk about the importance of splitting your training and structuring your work with blinds. Be a lumper and not a splitter.

Finally, we've moved our breeding from Roche (Weim) forwards and everything is a leetle beet manic, chez nous....
