Crown Championship
We train professional athletes
everyday and use every product
ZoomDog Supplements has to
offer. We start out every
morning with Daily Dog. Then at
feeding time we give Hunt Dog
Hunt, because we want the
fastest recovery for our team
after a long hard day. With the
amount of travel we do
attending Super Retriever
Series/Hunt Tests, we started
using Easy Dog and it has
proven to be a great benefit to
our dogs.

"About two years ago, my German
Wirehair named Sage developed a
skin condition consisting of raised
eruptions that would scab over,
and then slough off. this was
accompanied by some itching.
After multiple vet visits and no
solutions that worked, including
shots and topical creams, I came
across your Itchy Dog product. I
figured it couldn't hurt to try and
within 4 weeks, my dog was
virtually free of eruptions and had
quit itching. Thanks again for your
wonderful product."

CJ's July Training Tip
Our fifth in this series is the most important of all. In this program, we will be discussing the WHOA command. It is the most important of all the obedience commands as it is the foundation for having a finished (completely trained) pointing dog.
A finished pointing dog is one that is staunch on point, meaning it holds its pointing position, until the hunter arrives to flush the bird. It will be steady to wing, holding its staunch position when the bird flushes. It will follow the flight of the bird and mark the fall when the hunter shoots the bird. It will retrieve the bird to hand upon command of the hunter. Also, it will honor or back another dog’s point. This means it will freeze in a staunch pointing position upon seeing another dog on point and maintain that position until released by its hunter/handler.
There are four steps I use to teach my dogs the WHOA command.
 |
STEP 1 It is important to note that your dog must HEEL consistently before you begin WHOA training. We covered the HEEL command in last month’s Training Tip. Command your dog to heel and then say the command, WHOA. Force your dog to stop using the lead hookup shown at the left.
Repeat the HEEL-WHOA command 50 to 100 times per training session until the dog consistently stops upon command. If the dog continues to resist, cut up a hot dog and place pieces 15 to 20 feet apart on the sidewalk. When you approach the |
piece of hot dog, command your dog to WHOA. Of course your dog will stop to eat the piece of hot dog. Command HEEL and go to the next piece and keep repeating the process until your dog consistently stops. You can gradually eliminate the hot dog pieces. Repeat the HEEL-WHOA drill until the dog stops consistently without the use of the hot dog. -click here to continue-
ZoomDog® is designed to meet the unique needs of upland bird and waterfowl dogs. We hunt. We work with dogs. We know their needs.
Your gun dog has special needs that other dogs don’t have. You need products designed for these special needs, not just any dog. We realize the special bond you have to your dog. They are active for longer periods of time, under often harsh conditions. They are in and out of kennels, constantly moving, sitting patiently in cold conditions, working through heavy cover, in and out of cold and other situations that most dogs never experience.
They need special ingredients to keep them strong, support their endurance and keep their joints flexible, allowing them to hunt for extended years. All that work, wear and tear on their joints means they need special nutrients to keep them hunting stronger and longer. Their skin and coats need to be healthy to keep them warm and healthy throughout hunting season, and year round. Your gun dog isn’t just a good hunting buddy, they are also an investment in time, money and affection. Keep them in peak condition and you’ll enjoy many more years of successful hunting with your special dog.
If your gun dog is showing any of these signs, you need to check out Hunt Dog Hunt™ Performance Formula with antioxidants and joint strength nutrients.
