Great video!

what size is the place board? I want to make one.

[@BirdDogsAfield]

Hello Phil, it depends on the size of your dog. I have both big dogs and medium size dogs. For the big dogs, I use a 2' x 3' board. For the smaller dogs, I use an 18" x 24" board. What ever size you build, suggest you make at least two. You'll want to go from board to board with certain commands.

@@BirdDogsAfield OK thanks I am getting a female wirehaired pointing griffon May 4th. I think they are considered a medium breed???

[@bowhunterphil]

@@BirdDogsAfield Also I want to build a Whoa table with the ramps. Is 2ft wide by 8 ft long a good size? Plus it will have 2 ramps 2ft x 4 ft

[@BirdDogsAfield]

@@bowhunterphil, I would build 2 x 3 for a Griffon.

[@BirdDogsAfield]

@@bowhunterphil, that's exactly the size that we have. Some professional trainers prefer a 12' long table. More room to work.

What’s the pro’s and con’s of teaching whoa on a place board as opposed to a whoa “post”? Cheers

[@BirdDogsAfield]

Both are good.

[@lisachristensen878]

awesome

Why do you use the word place instead of whoa?
