A 4th place in her first trial is incredible; the dogs she was competing against went on to do place and win at the Western Classic a few weeks later. Then Whiskey went on to garner a 4th place at an all breed trial, competing mostly against shorthairs! What a job well done! Congrats to a great team!

Bill is a very gentle man, and to watch him work with dogs is an experience to behold.  He demonstrated a very gentle way to use a pinch collar. He put the collar on Whiskey and it was incredible. She was very calm and he showed how to apply gentle pressure to the collar and the pup stops and stands still. Editor’s note: the Bill West / Bill Gibbons method is a great way to train pointing dogs. It is a kinder, gentler method that uses dog psychology rather than harsh obedience to train. In a nutshell, the object is to get your dog to understand what a “stand” is with a check collar and then that get’s gradually transferred to a light tap with an e-collar. The dog learns that “a bird in the air means stand still.” See the blog Steady with Style for more information. See videos of Whiskey training with Bill Gibbons. Overview of the Bill Gibbons Method and First time on a Check Cord.
