Pro Trainer, Bill Gibbons gives a first-time demonstration of using a check cord to Candra and her Blue Weimaraner, Whiskey.
This method was developed by Bill West and Bill Gibbons for training gun dogs. It is a kinder, gentler method of training gun dogs based on dog psychology rather than harsh obedience. Video courtesy of Steady with Style. Be sure to subscribe to the blog for great training information.

[...] This past summer we were fortunate to spend a short day training with pro trainer, Bill Gibbons in the White Mountains of Arizona. 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.
