Good to see you are still alive & well el b, been quiet with out you
cast your dog off, when it has reached the desired distance you either hit it with a stop or change of direction whistle, if the dog turns and you think the cast is too short you hit it with a stop...
you are still describing how to train a dog to quarter
read Munseys question again Pete.
I run my pointer with a bell on him so I dont think the odd peep on a whistle will affect anything.

Change of direction whistle
+1 on the type of terrain dictating the distance of the cast, the bite really depends on your dogs nose
