Gun Dog It Yourself

188. No Whoa? (Whoa Series #6)

Listen Later

After weeks of hitting on numerous methods on how to train Whoa, my buddy Grayson Guyer from Lost Highway Kennels joins me for the swerve at the end of the series to talk about a popular training method or philosophy that doesn't typically focus on using "whoa" but rather aims for the bird to teach the dog steadiness. What does that even mean? Hit play and find out!

  • Catching up with Grayson on hunting/trialing season
  • "Whoa" is about stopping in motion
  • "Making monsters!" and "Go before whoa!"
  • Training the dog within the environment
  • Does a really hard point mean a soft retrieve?
  • "Pick one method and stick with it."???
  • Methods that don't teach "whoa"
  • Letting the bird teach the dog on the West Gibbons method
  • You are teaching "Whoa." You're just not naming it
  • Pre-requisites before teaching the "non-whoa"
  • Being too cautious on bird intro?
  • The collar conditioning
  • Launcher intro
  • "Staunch" is before and "steady" is after
  • Getting the dog to push back and care about the flush
  • Managing the chase
    • --

    West Gibbons junkies: stay tuned for more very soon....
