RE: Whoa
ORIGINAL: Doc E 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. . 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, |
RE: Whoa
I agree with what Doc E says here about not having to say whoa,
but for me it is a way of shuring things up. Mine was doing pretty much what Doc described and then decided to go a step further. This caused some problems for me as the dog caught 4 wild birds that year and I had to start voicing the whoa comands. So in some cases whoa has to be used to prevent further headaches later. For me it works good. |
