Read more about the Retrievers ...From The Inside, Out on CD-Rom by Butch Goodwin
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.
There has never been a resource that is as thorough nor as innovative as "Retrievers... From The Inside, Out." Presented on a CD-ROM in a format similar in appearance to a website for ease of navigation in your computer, it includes nearly 600 pages of text, diagrams and photos, and more than 20 minutes of video. "Retrievers... From The Inside, Out" gives you the tools to develop a confident, dependable and well-trained retriever gun dog that works under control, handling nearly every situation you could possibly encounter while waterfowl or upland hunting.
Along with the CD, all purchasers will receive a unique Username and Password that allows access to a restricted website with updates and tips from other readers, and a Question and Answer forum for answers to hunting retriever related questions.
