so, will you be able to stop this dog at a distance with just the vibration, no verbal whoa? say the dog gets out of range and birds are flying and he's chasing them out of the county, will you be able to stop the dog with the vibration with that much distraction and lack of focus on the handler?

[willowcreekkennels]

Ultimatly, we train to have a dog that we know will hold point on his birds to flush or to release from the handler. The dogs are collar conditioned to whoa by the time we have completed this training and will respond to that even from a distance. Hope this answers your question. Also check out our video "moving tether" it is similar to this topic

If you don't have a collar that vibrates can you use a low level of stimulation instead?

[willowcreekkennels]

Yes, you can use a light stimulation, although we prefer to use a vibrate or a tone to avoid correction for most of our negative reinforcement.

we've rescued a brittany who was abused and used a shock collar after all types of training failed. she now is so very obiediant that she is a very healthy and happy dog . i used the loweest setting on the collar to train her, she stays right beside me when walking. i tested her by walking thru a crowd of dogs, she never broke stride to smell them. the other owners were amazed. they asked how i trained her and i told them, some of them are now trying the same.

There is no better trained dog than a service dog.

@Fearmeforiamdeath I agree...I was always hesitant to get an older dog. But we had the opportunity to adopt a year and a half old GSP from someone I knew and couldnt pass up the opportunity. I am so glad we did not, the dog never hunted but his natural instincts were amazing. He has also been the easiest dog to train, everything has gone very smoothly. Youre right he may never be a master hunter, but a great hunting companion and has changed my life.

Picking up a Year and a Half old dog is an ultimately VERY risky thing to do.

I hope it works out for you... but, unless this dog is use to training it will take quite a while to break. Also it it very easy for a dog that age to have negative experiences with humans ie. abuse.

hopefully the previous owners are hunters or trainers.
