Jas walks us through what it takes to raise multiple working-line puppies at the same time, laying strong foundations for tracking, bite work, environmental confidence, and complex operational behaviours. All with the goal of producing dogs suitable for working roles by around 18 months of age. We talk honestly about the fun, frustration, stress, pressure, and fulfilment that comes with developmental training at this level, and how critical early decisions are in shaping whether a dog truly suits the role it’s being prepared for. This episode is a must-listen for trainers, handlers, breeders, and anyone curious about what serious puppy raising looks like when the end goal isn’t a pet, but a capable working dog.
