Sharon Potter of Red Branch Kennels was mentored by Rick Smith to be a Team Huntsmith Instructor. She trains pointers, retrievers and spaniels, though Chesapeake bay retrievers are her personal breed of choice. She’s known to be a trainer that takes on the problem dogs that most others usually don’t want too mess with, like those that are gun shy and hard mouthed. Sharon shares a lot of great advice in this episode as well as an upcoming training opportunity for a Ladies Bird Dog Workshop.
