There is no single best way to train a dog - which is why David Michael Duffey recruited 10
of the nation's top trainers to contribute their knowledge to his book. Through extensive
interviewing of these trainers, Duffey is able to bring an enormous range of experience and know-how
to bear on a wide variety of training questions and problems. This means the dog-owning hunter no
longer has to grit his teeth in frustration when the advice of one authority fails to work for him. In
these pages he will find a wide spectrum of responses - and the reasons for them - and he can choose the
one that's suitable for his dog and his situation.
Duffey has thoroughly updated this book. One of the most important aspects of this revised and expanded
edition is its detailed coverage of the latest trends in field trials, particularly those tests, competitions,
and related organizations designed for hunting dogs rather than the field trialing elite. He provides
a compelling account of how these events and organizations have evolved, their current status, and
various applications that have led to improvement of specific breeds.
The book is divided into sections for pointers, the versatile breeds, retrievers, and spaniels. Clear
photographs enhance the text and clarify details of training methods.
270 pages. Illustrated.
