When I began my training with Werden about 2 years ago I decided no bell or beeper. We hunt with a GPS collar and when he is on point my receiver vibrates. What I noticed was once he witnesses a bird flush well before he caught the scent, he begins to "tip toe" through the brush. He began this behavior this past Tuesday when I brought him back to the WMA we shot the first woodcock in. It's as he remembered how spooky they where and is determined to sneak up on them! It is very interesting behavior that I have never witnessed.
