About this episode
After manyrequests for an episode covering the West Gibbons Method, I finally had the opportunity to sit down with Martha Greenlee (author of Training with Mo) and pick her brain when it comes to training and interacting with dogs!
Don't talk to them...
A philosophy of training more so than an actual method

Early development stage
"Developing" vs "Teaching"
E-collar introduction
Watering down commands
No Whoa!
Tools of the method
"Stand" vs "Whoa"
Using the wind correctly
"On birds" vs "around birds"
Stop to flush
Obedience emphasis
Stickiness and trusting the "monster"
Surrender to the method
SLOW DOWN
