James Spencer covers subjects including puppy training, basic obedience training, play retrieving,

Amateur trainers have many advantages over professionals, and Spencer helps you to make the most of every one!
For example, as amateur you can develop greater rapport with your dog. You have more time-per-dog for training.
Amateurs can use "kinder, gentler" ways of accomplishing the same thing. Given a choice, few amateur trainers
would use pressure if they can get better results without it.
Spencer, well known writer and trainer, and regular columnist in Gun Dog Magazine, covers subjects including:
*Your Training Program
*Sequence/Schedule/Techniques
*Puppy Training
*Basic Obedience Training
*Play Retrieving
*Simple Marked Retrieves
*Gun Proofing
*Introducing Birds and Decoys
*Force-Breaking
*Double Marked Retrieves
*Basic Blind Retrieves
*Advanced Marks and Blinds, and more.
Throughout, Spencer considers the effect of enviornmental differences - meadows, fields, woods or marshes - on training.
A great tool and a good read! Illustrated, hardcover, 248 pages.
