188. No Whoa? (Whoa Series #6)
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!\n\nCatching up with Grayson on hunting/trialing season\n\n"Whoa" is about stopping in motion\n\n"Making monsters!" and "Go before whoa!"\n\nTraining the dog within the environment\n\nDoes a really hard point mean a soft retrieve?\n\n"Pick one method and stick with it."???\n\nMethods that don't teach "whoa"\n\nLetting the bird teach the dog on the West Gibbons method\n\nYou are teaching "Whoa." You're just not naming it\n\nPre-requisites before teaching the "non-whoa"\n\nBeing too cautious on bird intro?\n\nThe collar conditioning\n\nLauncher intro\n\n"Staunch" is before and "steady" is after\n\nGetting the dog to push back and care about the flush\n\nManaging the chase\n\n--\nWest Gibbons junkies: stay tuned for more very soon....\n--\nListener Demographic Survey\n--\nPresented By:\n\nStanding Stone Supply [Use Code: GDIY to save 10%]\n\nonX Hunt Maps [Use Code: GDIY20 to save 20%]\nDT Systems [Use Code: DTsocialmedia15 for 15%]\nFinal Rise\n\nOther Partners:\nEukanuba // Ugly Dog Whiskey // Bird Dog Society\n\nGDIY Links:\nPatreon // Instagram // Facebook // Website\nLearn more about your ad choices.
