whoa command

Post by bow.hunter123 » Sat Dec 24, 2011 4:18 pm

i have a 1 year old german shorthaired pointer she finds the bird and points but when i give her the whoa command she likes to circle the bird like she is trying to get a better when is this just her not knowing the wind. any thoughts....

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

If the dog finds the birds and points why are you giving the whoa command?

went out today and didnt say anything to her she did great just i think she circles cause she knows im going to flush the bird for her but other than that did great killed 10 pen raised birds and got into some wild ones didnt kill the wild ones cause they flew she didnt bust them they were just educated.
