Read more about the Speed Train Your Own Bird Dog by Larry Mueller Book
Speed Train Your Own Bird Dog. Softback 288 pages. Illustrated.
The speed-train system helps busy dog owners get the most out of their pups in the minimum time. It is based on three principles: 1. Choosing methods that teach dogs with the least investment of time
2. Building on what the dog has already learned
3. Never letting a problem develop that will require extra time to correct
Mueller's training program is presented in a logical, step-by-step approach illustrated with 200 photographs. He covers humane training methods for Pointers, Setters, Brittanys, German Shorthaired Pointers, Drathaars, Viszlas, & Irish Setters.
Mueller begins training the pup when he is young and receptive, using food, play, and praise to reinforce his conditioning. He teaches basic commands, nose awakening, fetching, and running a hunting pattern, then moves on to pointing, flushing, water training, and gun conditioning. Based on shrewd insight into canine psychology, the speed train system will produce an outstanding bird dog - and it will make the training process enjoyable for both dog and master.
Larry Mueller, Hunting Dogs editor of OUTDOOR LIFE, has developed his innovative training methods from a lifetime of experience and observation of dog behavior. He is also the author of SPEED TRAIN YOUR OWN RETRIEVER.
