Gun Dog It Yourself

185. The Place Whoa (Whoa Series #3)

Listen Later

One of the more common methods of training Whoa stems from using the Place Board. Longtime friend of the podcast Scott Caldwell of Rusty Guns Kennel joins me to talk about how the Place Board altered his entire program and the steps he uses to train Whoa.

  • Curveballs in life sometimes can lead to good and refocusing life goals/passions!
  • Why a place board?
  • IMPULSE CONTROL
  • Pre-requisites before starting to train Whoa
  • Taking the chase away naturally
  • The physical setup of a place board
  • Start to name "Whoa" with natural pauses
  • Transition into the place board and adding distractions
  • Sitting vs standing on the place board
  • The Whoa Post?!?
  • Ramping up and building off the command
  • Introducing bird scent
  • Doing away with the place board
  • Pressure vs corrections
  • Release commands
  • Maintenance and spring cleaning
  • Whoa scenarios in the field


    • Scott will be holding numerous seminars and clinics at his kennel starting mid to late April. Reach out to RGK if interested in attending!
