Free Live Q&A 🐶 Tonight (AUGUST 19, 2026) at 8:00 PM MT. Pre-season Protocol launches September 1 so this month I've got pre-season work on my mind.

If you run two dogs, your dog's ability to honor another dog's retrieve is as important as his own. How I introduce it: bring in a steady dog as the working dog and have your dog sit at heel and watch. If he moves, the working dog stops. He'll figure out fast that his job is to watch, not go.

What's the one thing your dog still needs before you're comfortable putting him in a real hunting situation? Be specific. Also: free live Q&A with Jared this Wednesday August 19 at 7pm MT. Drop your question below or bring it live!
