On this episode, we discuss the topic of Hot Nose and Cold Nose, and whether this trait is bred into a dog or if it is a learned behavior acquired by the dog from its owner or trainer. I was taught, like most hunting dog owners, about the concept of a hot nose versus a cold nose, but as I continue to develop my knowledge and skills in dog training, there has been a shift in my thinking. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the hot nose vs. cold nose concept as I develop and work through this idea regarding training.

On this episode, we discuss for those of us who only have access to hunting public lands, how to make the most of it when hunting with your dogs. Everything Bawlin Out Kennels does starts with respect! It will take you so much further in life and hunting. I share a few ways to maximize your public land experience when hunting with your dogs, from choosing the best times to hunt to respecting the different seasons and being mindful of other hunters who also share public lands. I hope this helps you on your journey with your hunting dog as a new handler.

On this episode, I sit down with a best friend, Jason Keen. Our paths crossed a few years ago, and a friendship like no other was created. His love for The Lord, Coon Hunting and Brotherhood just scratches the surface of the man he is and what her stands for. He traveled from Virginia to Illinois to meet each other for a weekend. We discuss his start in coon hunting, Leopard dogs and a little advice for new and beginner handlers getting started. This is another episode that will be near and dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy listening!
