This is a great book for someone with a retriever puppy, whither it is their first pup or their tenth. I really like how it's broken down into what a pup can or should be doing by its age.

I am a breeder of Quality and tested Boykin Spaniels in Wisconsin. I want to thank you for your customer service and quality products.



I was shown the book Retriever Puppy Training by a customer and have read it and believe it is a great book to start a pup on the road to a dog that I and the customer will proud of. I STRONGLY encourage all customers to train and test their dogs and have committed to give each customer a copy of this book. We can only provide the information and hope that it will be accepted, but this book I think is a source that will help a Boykin to excel in the retriever hunt test game.



Thank you

    Retriever Puppy Training, The Right Start for Hunting by Clarice Rutherford and Cherylon Loveland presents a program of basic training for turning young retrievers into efficient and enthusiastic workers. Although many retriever owners are very competent trainers, they lack a plan of continuity so important for developing a puppy's confidence. This book provides a step-by-step teaching schedule that correlates to a dog's mental and physical development. You will learn socialization and obedience training techniques, retrieving commands, correct field training and yardwork practice, and what equipment to use - all an owner needs to know to produce a cooperative house pet and a reliable hunting companion.
