STEVE SAYS: In my opinion, this is the most complete, common sense, and in-depth training guide for your hunting retriever.
The cover says it all. This book is a practical guide for building the ultimate hunting retriever.
I like this book so much that if you don't love it, send it back for a 100% refund.

Several years in the planning, Retrievers From the Inside, Out is the product of Butch Goodwin's nearly three decades of retriever training and breeding experience. The result is a complete, all-breed retriever course explaining the breeding, selection, care and training of multi-purpose hunting retrievers.

Butch Goodwin has finally put his many years of experience training hunting dogs into one of the most comprehensive pieces of training material I've seen. This guide is perhaps the way most training books and videos will begin to move, and Butch certainly has set a high bar for others to reach. If we had a "Training Guide of the Future" header, I'd probably put it under there.

About the Author:
Besides writing his regular columns in Retriever Journal magazine since 1996, Butch Goodwin's training and breeding programs have been featured in Ducks Unlimited magazine, Field & Stream magazine, Big Sky Journal and four retriever training books.
After some terrific quail shooting over pointing dogs while a student at the University of Arizona, Butch moved to Colorado and worked for many years as a sales rep in the firearms and sporting goods industry. This afforded him the opportunity to co-author two local history books and pursue his passions for training his retrievers, hunting Canada geese, and leading a packhorse or two around in the Colorado mountains chasing Elk.
Butch Goodwin later worked for a retriever field trial pro and now lives in the Payette River Valley of western Idaho where he maintains his own successful retriever gun dog training kennel, breeds a few litters of Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and spends as much time as the law allows hunting upland birds and waterfowl.
