Ever look at your young dog and wonder if you’re about to launch its hunting career… or accidentally set it back? In this episode, Josh pulls back the curtain on the honest truth behind “readiness”—the moments that shape a dog’s entire future, the mistakes that can quietly cripple potential, and the confidence that comes from doing it right. You’ll hear why the 10-month mark matters, what real steadiness looks like, and how the four stages of learning can turn hesitation into certainty. If you love your dog and want to give it the very best start in the field, this episode will hit home.
