Bloodlines & Bird Dogs: Inside Waterfowl Training

On this episode of Duck Fellas Austin, Kade, and Tyler welcome special guest Ryan Kamm to talk waterfowl dog training, pedigrees, and practical hunting advice. They cover breed differences, when to start training, socialization, force fetch and using bumpers, and how to safely introduce dogs to hunting situations.

The conversation includes tips on checking pedigrees and health clearances, choosing between labs and Chesapeakes, timing for formal training, cold-weather considerations, dog vests and first-aid readiness, and when to introduce dogs to larger group hunts.

Between the field tips there’s plenty of banter about weekday hunts, boat roles, breakfast burritos, and where to find the show online. Subscribe to Duck Fellas on your preferred podcast platform for more episodes.
