I trained Whoa, but thanks to the facts that Casey was trained correctly (no shot birds or retrieves with bumped birds or flyaways etc), and because he has always been very solid and staunch, I've never (not even once) said the word Whoa out in the field.

Doc,
when did you start not shooting birds that Casey may have bumped? Is it something you started with him right from the start? I'm on the fence right now whether I should be shooting birds my pup doesn't point this fall.
Cheers,
