Our recent Living With Your Bird Dog Workshop reminded us all that great field work starts at home. Leash walking without pulling, standing still on command, waiting for the release, coming when called, and impulse control — these are the foundations that make everything else (including bird work) smoother and more enjoyable. We spent the morning with Gretchen Chapman Stephenson turning chaos into calm and giving handlers practical skills they can practice in the yard, on walks, and in training sessions. Shoutout to all the dedicated handlers and their awesome dogs who joined us!
