Ok steadily in the woah breaking process. Have a few questions after some thorough reading on this process.
She is holding on the barrel nicely i can walk around her in a full circle and even disappear behind a tree for a few seconds. Walk backwards directly in front of her to 20 yards and she will hold and not sit.
Here are my questions.
A.) I should only say woah once, correct? I want her to be conditioned to respond to a single solitary command and not constant commands.
B.) At what point to i introduce a pigeon or quail tied to a pole so she wont break?
C.) Insert sound advice here_______.
Thank you all.

She should be ready for live birds in 6 weeks or so. Go from the barrel to heel and whoa. Introduce the e-collar. Command only once. Never give a command that you can't enforce.
