Bird dog training

For one of my last stories at the Herald, I worked with Tyce Erickson, a bird dog trainer, documenting him as he conducted training sessions with clients' dogs to develop them into skilled bird dog hunters. Erickson, who grew up hunting with his family, was working at a car rental company when he decided to quit and start his own dog training business. "I love the dogs. I love the birds. I love being outside. And I love the friendship that comes from hunting," Erickson said. "You can't ask for anything more."
