TRAINING THE

“WHOA” COMMAND

Your dog should already know the

“Whoa” command without the e-collar

before you begin any e-collar Lessons

on “Whoa.” If he does not know how to

respond to a leash tug by Whoa-ing, he is

not ready for the e-collar with “Whoa.”

LESSON ONE

INTRODUCTION TO “WHOA”

With your dog on a leash or a check

cord, heel him and stop him at heel with

“Whoa.” He should be familiar with this

from his earlier yard training on “Whoa.”

Give a nick just after you say “Whoa”

and help with the leash if he needs it.

Praise him each time he Whoa’s.

Release him and heel him around your

training area, repeating the “Whoa” with

the nick as you heel and stop. Keep the

session short.

Plenty of praise while he’s holding his

“Whoa” beside you.

WHAT IF…?

1. After breaking because of a distrac-

tion, your dog moves from his original

position before he sits back down in re-

sponse to the command and nick.

Solution: This is not a problem if he

does not move very far. Your goal is to

see progress over time in learning not

to break the Sit in the rst place. If he

moves a long ways, he needs more prac-

tice at Lesson Two.

2. He completely ignores the command

and the nick when distracted

Solution: The distraction was too

strong for his at his level of training.

Find milder distractions and increase

distractions more gradually.

Let’s recap Lesson Four:

• Create mild distractions, your

own motion at rst

• If your dog breaks his Sit,

command “Sit” and nick

• Start with easy distractions

and increase difculty gradually

• Use your release cue to release

your dog to keep things clear

for your dog
