Episode 84
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
Mike didn't want just a good hunting dog, he wanted a great hunting dog he could count on.Mike got a journey that would test his patience, challenge everything he thought he knew about training, and ultimately change the way he showed up as a father.In this episode, Mike shares the story of Chili — the Boykin Spaniel he once worried might never retrieve, the dog who became the best hunting partner he’d ever had, and the dog who gave his family one unforgettable final hunt.From early frustration… to breakthrough moments… to the powerful lessons learned training alongside his young daughter… this conversation is about far more than dog training.It’s about why you shouldn’t wait.Why the process matters.And how sometimes the dogs we train end up training us.If you’ve ever wondered:“Will my dog turn out?”“Am I doing this right?”“Is all this work really worth it?”This episode is for you.Link to Mike's Breeder: Double J BoykinsWant to learn how to train your hunting dog with confidence?Visit: Cornerstone Gundog AcademyNeed gear for training your retriever, like collars, dog training dummies, and more?Visit: Retriever Training SupplyInterested in sponsoring the BuildFromHere Podcast?Fill out this form and tell us more about promoting your product, service, or brand.
