I can clearky see how a guy could believe everything in that video because it makes good sense and although I honestly think that system could work well I don't think it would work for a very high precentage of dogs. The one thing he never touched on was the breeding or the genetic make-up of the dogs we choose to hunt. I have NEVER and will NEVER place more value on training than I do breeding. I want dogs that naturally preform to my desire and those are the ones that I will breed to carry on the life of my hunting operation. I FIRMLY believe that all dog training is complete when the puppies are whelped. Yea sure a guy needs to correct undesirable actions and trash problems but how deep the dog hunts, how cold of a nose he has, how much bottom he has, how gritty he is, and ect. ect. Is clearly a product of breeding and can be passed on through careful selection in the breeding program and should be. The problem with my theory is it takes a few generations of VERY STRICK selection and culling to see the consistency desired and not many are dedicated enough to breed long enough and strick enough to get to the point where they can see the positive fruits of the process. Dog training has its place but someday I hope to be able to produce high precentages of dogs that suit me without having to brainwash them. To each their own and this rambling in nothing more than my OPINION.
OCONEE...you hit a home run that time...
