Backbone's Sue Melus in American Hunter Gun Dog Column

I was honored to be featured in Ron Spomer’s latest Gun Dogs column in the June issue of American Hunter Magazine.  Ron is a prolific outdoor writer, photographer, avid hunter and gun dog enthusiast from Boise, ID.  We hit it off a couple years back after we met and started talking dogs.

The article is called, “The Training Timetable.”   While training my pup Elsie and her litter mates over the last two years I was struck by the different stages at which puppies advance.  The pups all had almost identical life experiences, yet they were individuals with different needs.  Spomer draws on my observations and experiences to illustrate how patience, timing and individual attention are of utmost importance when training any pup.
