I would have to agree that the WOA! command is important. I have 2 GSP's and they work great together. I have an 8 month old male, and a 7 yr old female. They work great as a team. The young guy is still learning but did very well this season. He has learned to back up the other dogs points. I use a whistle comand along with basic obediance commands and they both listen very well. A shock collar also works wonders because the breed has a very high energy rate. I used a lot of pigeons to help train the young guy. I would drag them across the yard and hid ethem in various places. When he pointed i would tell him WOA! and make sure he froze. If he doesnt freeze, you need to pick him up and put him back in the place he was originally pointing at. Good luck and enjoy! Training dogs can be very difficult at times, and also rewarding. Theres nothing like watching your GSP on his first wild pheasant! From the point to the retrieve its a great feeling!
