PointerX,

Congrats on the dog work and good luck on the upcoming competitions.

I've got a yellow lab (Rex) from a pointing line. By no means would I consider him a pointing dog, although there are those rare occasions where he'll lock down pretty solid. I hunt alot of pheasants and as I'm sure your aware can be quite tough on pointing dogs if they're in the running mood

.... I was just curious if you had any insight on how to teach a flushing dog to whoa when he points?

Thanks,
