He believes that hunting with a dog is a partnership that requires training and time in the field to build a strong bond.

“you as a human being, you're in partnership with a canine and you live all year long to create this bond and to train and you know on Saturdays and Sundays you go out there with the rest of the weekend warriors to test your metal against these wild birds with your canine best friend.”

He argues that hunting solo with a dog allows for a better flow state and prevents the dog from being over-steered by distractions.

“if I'm hunting by myself, I can let that dog just dictate the pace. You go where you need to. You smell where you need to cuz they're going to work into the wind. are going to do certain things and you're like I'm literally just like now you drive right and it's like there's nothing freaking better”
