  • Creatures of Habit- Get Unstuck By Thinking Outside The Box
    Feb 10 2026

    Creatures of Habit — Are Your Training Habits Helping or Hurting Your Dog?

    In this episode of the Cornerstone Gun Dog Academy Podcast, we explore a simple truth that shapes every training journey: both you and your dog are creatures of habit.

    After a memorable hunting experience — and a timely reminder from a CGA member — we dive into how unnoticed patterns can either accelerate progress or quietly hold you back.

    You’ll learn how to evaluate your training approach, recognize when frustration is pointing to a needed adjustment, and make small but powerful changes that can dramatically improve your results.

    We cover:

    • Why following a proven process matters
    • How consistency builds reliable retrievers
    • When to stay the course — and when to adapt
    • The power of subtle training adjustments
    • Why great trainers learn to think from different angles

    If you want a calm, confident, capable retriever, it starts with taking ownership of your habits and training with intention.

    Stop guessing. Start progressing.

  • Train a Hunt Ready Retriever By This Hunting Season
    Feb 4 2026

    Train a Hunt-Ready Retriever by Next Season (Start Now)

    If you’re listening as this episode drops in February 2026, you’re in a prime window to build a hunt-ready retriever by next hunting season—as long as you start now and train with a plan.

    In this episode, we break down what “hunt-ready” actually means (hint: it’s not about age—it’s about skill level and consistency under real-world pressure). You’ll learn the foundational skills your dog must have before stepping into the blind, why rushing the timeline can backfire, and how to create a training path that holds up when it’s cold, chaotic, and exciting.

    We cover:

    • The #1 decision you must make: don’t hunt the dog before it’s truly ready
    • The core hunt-ready skills: steadiness, delivery to hand, marking, lining
    • Why “my dog can do it in training” isn’t the same as “my dog can do it on opening day”
    • A simple weekly schedule to stay consistent (4 days/week, ~20 minutes)
    • How community + coaching keeps you from spiraling when problems pop up

    If you want a calm, confident, capable retriever by next season, this episode gives you the roadmap—and the standards—to get there.

  • When Should You Start Training a Duck Dog? (Earlier Than You Think)
    Jan 22 2026

    When should you start training a duck dog?
    Most people think of dog training as a project — something you start, finish, and move on from.

    That mindset is exactly what causes problems later.

    In this episode, we break down why duck dog training is a lifelong journey, not a checklist, and why the best time to start is earlier than most people realize.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why waiting to train “until later” quietly creates bad habits
    • The ideal age to start training — and what to do if your dog is already older
    • Why great duck dogs aren’t built through pressure, but through connection
    • The difference between a “finished dog” and a dog that truly wants to please
    • How early routines and small wins shape calm, confident behavior in the blind

    Whether you’re bringing home an 8-week-old puppy or starting with an older dog, this episode will help you understand where to begin, how to progress, and what really matters long-term.

    Because the best duck dogs don’t come from rushing the process —
    they come from building it right, from day one.
