Teaching Your Dog the Whoa Command - Video

Posted by The SportDOG Staff

SportDOG Basic Training DVD Chapter 5: SportDOG Brand Senior Pro Staffer Tom Dokken walks you through teaching your pointing dog the "Whoa" command. This is equivalent to "stay" for most hunting dogs, but will tell your pointing dog to stay on point and not assume the standing position. Tom will show you how to train for this command, and reinforce it with an remote training collar.
