Leather to e collar
So I have the virtual course and my pups just over 6 months. We’ve been doing the homework every day for the past month and half or so. And I’ve layered the e collar in with the leather about 2 weeks ago. He seems to understand it pretty good I’ve dropped the leather a few times and let him drag it and just used the e collar he seems to understand the turn pretty good and I’ve got him to woah once or twice with just the e collar but I’m not to sure on how to help him understand the woah with the e collar. I’m assuming he just needs more reps with the leather and e collar combo and I can start to layer it with birds. But am I missing anything else to help him? How long should I wait until I can drop the leather and let him drag it reliably? I’ve watched the course multiple times but I just wanna make sure I’m not missing something as it kinda feels like a grey area to me. Also when should I start layering in verbal commands? I know to wait until he fully understands the e collar but is there anything else any other boxes to check? Sorry for my ignorance in advance I’m learning just as much as my pup is if not more

@Jared Moss do you use the verbal whoa in the field with birds too?

Penny is my 5yo Irish Setter. We have a lot of fun together learning and bird hunting up here in Maine.
