What to do next??

Post by tp5056 » Tue May 31, 2011 12:19 pm

So I've gotten my basic commands pretty much down well (Come, Sit, Stay, Kennel).

My question is which command should I be looking to teach next? FF or Whoa?

Here's some background info (just to answer any additional questions beforehand):
- 3-4yr old English Pointer (I adopted her from a rescue)
- She had some basic commands prior to me adopting her (I've just been working with her in the house and backyard daily to reinforce what she knew and teach her some additional)
- She has a TON of prey drive and points alot ... I just need to work on her obedience when we're outside the yard/house (everytime I take her to the dog park all best are off due to all the birds/scents)

I would try to get more control around distractions. You can throw whoa into the mix at any time. I would want better control before I force fetched her, but that is just me.
