215. The Utility Test (Before)

<h3>Anyone that has tested before can relate to the fact that you're usually going into the test thinking/predicting certain outcomes just to be thrown a curveball as the test actually takes place. Dale Bolyard joins me this week to discuss his thoughts going into his dog's NAVHDA Utility test and tells us what he's confident about as well as what is making him nervous. The next episode will be the test recap after the test and we can compare the results to his predictions before the test.</h3><ul> <li>Test anxiety</li> <li>Why Large Munsterlanders?</li> <li>Testing results and papers. How much do they really matter?</li> <li>Field steadiness confidence (8.5/10)</li> <li>Duck Search (10/10)</li> <li>The drag (6.5/10)</li> <li>The blind sequence (9/10)</li> <li>UT is an obedience test</li> <li>Preparing for the tough conditions</li> </ul><h3>--</h3><h2><u>Presented By:</u></h2><h3> <a href="https://www.standingstonesupply.com/course-overview-stepbystep">Standing Stone Supply</a> | Use Code: GDIY to save 15%</h3><h3> <a href="https://www.onxmaps.com/hunt/app?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8qmhBhClARIsANAtbocNmSk225PMhwr8Tge7cp6r8qcqNOEVxbDWeH8kTrJ9Ngg1uXgD-AIaAmraEALw_wcB"><strong>onX Hunt Maps</strong></a> | Use Code: GDIY20 to save 20%</h3><a href="https://dtsystems.com/xmobile_00-dt-home-2019/"><strong>DT Systems</strong></a> | <strong>Use Code: DTSocialMedia15 for 15%</strong></p><a href="https://finalrise.com/"><strong>Final Rise</strong></a></p><a href="https://uplandguncompany.com/"><strong>Upland Gun Company</strong></a></p>-</p><h3><u>Other Partners:</u></h3><a href="https://bprokennels.com/"><strong>BPro Kennels</strong></a></p><h3><a href="https://www.ufta-online.com/upcoming_events.php"><strong>United Field Trialers Association Upcoming Events</strong></a></h3><a href="https://www.eukanuba.com/us/athlete-range"><strong>Eukanuba</strong></a><strong> </strong></p><a href="https://birddogsociety.org/"><strong>Bird Dog Society</strong></a></p>-</p><h3><u>GDIY Links:</u></h3><a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/0fdccfac-2cff-11ec-8a0e-c3eff8d8da1e/podcasts/8f4b1196-8ccb-11ec-a5c9-17a1615da43c/episodes/e609b076-9d8e-11ed-b17b-97e20a359c11/www.patreon.com/gundogityourself">Patreon</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gundogityourself/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gundogityourself/">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/0fdccfac-2cff-11ec-8a0e-c3eff8d8da1e/podcasts/8f4b1196-8ccb-11ec-a5c9-17a1615da43c/episodes/e609b076-9d8e-11ed-b17b-97e20a359c11/www.gundogityourself.com">Website</a></p> </p>Learn more about your ad choices.
