E 185. Carter Turner: a life of training dogs

Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles

Tonight we are pleased to sit down and chat with our buddy, Carter Turner, from Mossy Pond Retrievers. Carter has been working with dogs since he was a kid chasing coon dogs through the woods.

We begin the show learning about how he got into the dog world and all about coon hunting competitions. Then we hear how he picked up a job at Mossy Pond and did some apprentice work before being a full on dog trainer and running high level dogs all over the country. People often write in and ask how to be a dog trainer or how to start running dogs for people at these big events and well, here's how Carter did it. He started as a young man and worked hard and slowly but surely made progress. It's always cool to speak with good people like Carter who work tirelessly chasing goals.

We then dig into his time in the SRS game and hear what he thinks makes a good SRS dog: marking, compliant, mature, etc.. Then we chat about his time at The Grand and then Master Nationals this year. We also hear what Carter and the fellas at Mossy Pond suggest people do when taking their dogs on their first hunt.
