| 6/15/26 | ![]() Episode 148 - how I nearly lost a puppy I bred to rescue | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ In this episode, I talk about what I've learnt as a result of the recent extremely stressful situation I've experienced recently. A 9 month old puppy we bred was dumped at a rescue organisation. We were not told. The rescue refused to rehome him to us. PLUS listener Q&As. | 20m 59s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | ![]() Episode 147 - ethics and head collars | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ Sometimes life is complicated. If dogs are losing out on opportunities for exercise and enrichment because people can't manage them, then their quota of 'good stuff' in life gets a lot lower. A dog which never leaves the house is going to experience the fewest unpleasant things in life - and also would be incredibly deprived, under-exercised and under-stimulated. R+ training needs to accommodate these complexities, and stop over-simplifying things. Because we... | 43m 11s | ||||||
| 4/8/26 | ![]() Episode 146 - get those puppies swimming! | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ Loads of tips towards helping you to get pups swimming! | 31m 24s | ||||||
| 3/24/26 | ![]() Episode 145 - pointers, setters and HPRs are different (sometimes distance work is easier than up-close control) | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ In this episode, I talk about a certain subgroup of gundogs which are very motivated by environmental exploration/reinforcers. They require a different training approach. These dogs might find it much easier to work at a distance (with behaviours like the remote stop and the recall) and much harder to offer sustained focus up-close (as with heelwork). | 45m 14s | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | ![]() Episode 144 - marking vs steadiness, revisited | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ The best marking is most likely if we send the dog immediately the retrieve falls. However, this also erodes steadiness. What to do? | 26m 12s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | ![]() Episode 143 - how releasing the dog at the right time, improves focus | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ I just wanted to drill down (pun intended) on this particular issue, because it's such a great one for improving focus and attention when you're battling environmental distractions. | 19m 46s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | ![]() Episode 142 - fix your (dog's) focus! | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ I talk here about a few ways to help dogs which are struggling to offer us focus and attention. Do check out my Focus and Attention course, for more info. | 45m 47s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | ![]() Episode - 141 - things that I wish people knew | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ This is a random collection of thoughts directed towards helping people become better trainers by addressing things other than the usual 'how to train stuff'. From personality traits of effective trainers to gaps in knowledge and misassumptions. | 1h 12m 21s | ||||||
| 12/17/25 | ![]() Episode 140 - how to train the point, flush and (steadiness to) fall | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ This sequence can be really confusing for people at first, leading to people often trying to train this in the actual order it actually happens. | 41m 18s | ||||||
| 11/29/25 | ![]() Episode 139 - Q&A bits and pieces | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ This episode is a little bit of everything. It is a buffet of an episode. Not sure if it's all you can eat, but it is a heck of a lot. | 49m 10s | ||||||

| 11/15/25 | ![]() Episode 138 - PUPPIES 8-12 weeks | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ Here I waffle randomly about what I'm doing with puppies in this age range. It doesn't really involve much gundog-specific stuff, because it's about helping pups to feel safe in the world. | 1h 01m 45s | ||||||
| 10/30/25 | ![]() Episode 137 - the value of picking up and some thoughts about docking | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ I talk here about the advantages of picking up, especially for HPR breeds (spaniels would also benefit for similar reasons) - and also offer some thoughts about docking after our experiences with our recent litter of Weim pups. | 45m 17s | ||||||
| 9/11/25 | ![]() Episode 136 - THE NEW BOOK IS OUT! | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ Yes, finally, it's here. The long-awaited sequel to *The Fundamentals*, the new book is called *Force-Free Gundog Training: Precision and Progression" and it's available in Amazons everywhere. Whoop whoop! | 10m 51s | ||||||
| 7/27/25 | ![]() Episode 135 - The New Book is Nearly Ready! | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ Amazingly, my new book (Force-Free Gundog Training: Precision and Progression) is nearly ready. WHOOP!! It should be out in a few weeks.... | 36m 23s | ||||||
| 7/10/25 | ![]() Episode 134 - the come-in whistle, ticks and canine pregnancy | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ This is a ramble of an episode (both subject-wise and literally) covering ticks, the come-in whistle on retrieves and early canine pregnancy. | 21m 10s | ||||||

| 4/6/25 | ![]() Episode 129 - uncontrolled behaviour in the yard & training multiple dogs | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ This is a slight bonanza of a wandering episode, where I waffle about prepping for our upcoming litter, woes around tick products, why it's a useful training opportunity to have a dog which is highly aroused... in your yard and how to train many dogs at once. It's a bit all over the place and it's got something for everyone. Sort of. | 37m 51s | ||||||
| 3/26/25 | ![]() Episode 128 - enjoying the journey and structuring your training on blinds | ๐ Text me (Jo) at Hold the Line ๐ 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....&n... | 30m 37s | ||||||
