• Growing up with an outdoorsy father who sparked her interest in fishing and hunting
• Finding a local breeder who became a mentor in training Huck for hunting
• Building basic obedience as the foundation for all hunting skills
• Using methods like food association to introduce gunfire without creating fear
• Teaching memory skills by placing bumpers and having Huck retrieve them later
• Training with live birds to build drive and confidence
• Challenges of public land hunting, especially during pheasant season
• The role of patience and consistency in developing a hunting dog
• How genetics matter but aren't enough without proper training
• Preparing for an upcoming Montana waterfowl hunting trip
