Read more about the Smartwork for Retrievers Volume I: Basics and Transition by Evan Graham

Smartwork Volume 1 by Evan Graham features detailed, easy to follow instructions for retriever training, ranging from puppies through basics and early-to-mid transition. Illustrated by the author, this unique training text is designed for your use: It is spiral bound so you can leave it open to the section or diagram you are working on without breaking down the binding. Laminated covers help to protect it from the elements. There are "Notes" pages with each diagram to help you track your dogs progress. Also included is a comprehensive Glossary of Terms to help you to get acquainted with the language of dog training.

Reviewed and Endorsed by The Retriever Journal:

...an informative book with a nifty design,...Smartwork is filled with the kind of information you'd expect from a retired professional dog trainer...laying down a good philosophy that usually gets glossed over in some books, but something that Evan puts first and foremost in his.
