Exactly! I can tree somewhere I should not be and tone my dog and he will come or I can call him out if I am safely in a place to yell .
I train my dogs to do what I want them to do, not what they want to do. Some of the things I want them to do may not work always 100 percent of the time in every situation, but you can bet it works well enough to where on most hunts I do not have big aggravation because the dog is not minding me.
When it comes to treeing though, you can bet I want to be to where I can be heard hollering before I do any toning. Most times that is enough if they can quiten down long enough to hear me and tone will not be necessary.
