The Higgins Method requires that the dogs must be on the same level of steadiness before putting them together. In this video you will see how easy it is for the sisters to work together once they get consistent being steady until released individually , although Olive has a little movement after the shot she never…[Read more]

The pack doing the circle of death, this is the same strategy (surrounding the prey)…[Read more]
