Rick Smith (http://www.huntsmith.com) is widely recognized as one of the premier experts in the country on training bird hunting dogs. In this, our first of three interviews, we meet Rick and hear about how he came to be a bird training professional and about his workshops that he holds throughout the United States. We learn more about his philosophy of respecting a dog rather than loving it to death. Listening to Rick on dogs is similar to taking a drink from a fire hose.
