Here's a few highlights from the show: Training dogs from start to finish What it takes to have an 8 week old pup grow into an awesome hunting and competition dog. “I’m never without a puppy.” Treat training, flat collars for pups, working with birds, raising several pups at a time and why that’s less than ideal What to do with a pup inside the house vs outside the house Started Dogs… what to look for If you learn anything about getting pups… it’s to never skip on health clearances.
