Off season dog training

[RutCrazed]

I have had hunting dogs my entire life, mainly GSP and GWP. I recently picked up a 1.5 year old GWP that had never been hunted. I let her be a pup for her first season and follow my 5 year old GWP around and by the end of the season she actually found, pointed and retrieved a rooster on public land. I did supplement her bird finding with a few pigeons, but no real formal training. I am wanting to get her solid on point during the off season and get her whoa trained. What videos or trainers have you used with good success in the past? I trained one GSP using mostly the Perfection Kennels Perfect Start/Finish and thought it was pretty good. I trained my first GSP with some Delmar Smith techniques and we both learned a lot. I watch some Standing Stone Kennels videos and like their approach, but am also thinking of getting the Perfection Kennels Perfect Whoa video set.
I would like to hear what you guys have used and liked.

PK Perfect whoa is hard to beat in my opinion.

Weimdogman,
Do you know if it requires a lot of birds in the Perfect Whoa? I am hopefully building my pigeon coop this weekend but a lot of methods require a lot of birds and I don't know when I will have a bunch to use.

No birds in the beginning so you will get a headstart.

Whoa for sure. Requires no birds. I use a check cord hitch around waist. Know guys that have used tables. Cord works well for me.

Thanks! I reached out to Perfection Kennels but had not heard back.

If you do Facebook they have a ton of info there in there live feeds. Best time to talk to Jon is like 5am cst. They are good at responding thru the messenger app also.

Another vote for the PK method. I have been to 2 of their clinics and I have the perfect woah and perfect steady videos. If you can watch the videos, then go to one of their clinics you’ll have your dog rock solid steady in 4 days.
