One says about a dog that it is:
Dog in harmony with his handler and which doesn't need many orders.
Implies a good obedience to orders.
Undisciplined dog, who is driven by his hunting instincts and visibly lacks call back answer, doesn't answer to orders anymore.
A point possibly starts with coming up a scent, followed by
a pointing, and ordered "coulé", stillness when the bird departs, quietness
on shot and eventually a retrieve.
It ends up only when the handler leashes his dog or after a cold retrieve.

The emanation cone is the zone in which the dog can smell the bird.
Its summit is located at the bird place, and its width depends on the wind strength.
