Chapter Recruitment vs. Retention | Ep. 261

Описание: One of the NAVHDA institutions, The Carters, joins me at the Eukanuba booth on the floor of Pheasant Fest. Blaine, Pattie, and Jason of Merrymeeting Kennels have been instrumental in bringing people into the bird dog space through their extremely active Yankee Chapter. We have a fun a conversation that covers a lot of insight and tips into not only recruiting new people but retaining the people that you do have!

~Getting new people involved
~Retaining people is more important
~"How's that working out for you?" Don't be closed off to new ideas
~First impressions matter! Meet at the gate!
~Train people with "remedial stations"
~Workers go first and be careful not to kill Jimmy!
~Establish the plan before going out
~Effective running order and process, no standing around, and a 2 bird limit!
~Read what the dog is telling you
~The importance of praise and rewards for the dog
~Chapter training days balancing training a skillset as opposed to training for a test
~You can't steal a dog's drive!
