Terrance didn’t start with success.

In fact, his first dog ended up gun shy—and he thought he might make the same mistakes again.

But this time was different.

In this episode of the Build From Here podcast, Terrance shares how he went from uncertainty and self-doubt to training a dog that’s already exceeding his expectations. From struggling through early training “dips” to experiencing the moment everything clicked, this is a story about what happens when you stick with the process.

You’ll hear:

• What went wrong with his first dog (and what he’d do differently)
• The biggest challenges he faced early in training
• How the right system and community changed everything
• The moment he knew his dog was going to make it
• Why “don’t give up” is more than just a cliché

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing it right—or felt like your dog just might not turn out—this episode is for you.

Jason didn’t grow up hunting. He didn’t grow up training dogs either.

Like a lot of people, he started with YouTube, piecing things together and hoping it would work. At first, it felt like progress… until one moment in the field changed everything.

After a bad experience with gunfire, Jason was convinced he had ruined his dog.

In this episode, he shares how he worked through that setback, what he did differently the second time around, and how stepping back and following a clear process helped rebuild both his dog’s confidence—and his own.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late, or if you’ve made mistakes with your dog… this story will hit home.
