Still reading the book but it provides valuable information on training my dog, it's not the only way or method but it is always good to know and sometimes employ new techniques, this book does that.

Review for Sporting Dog and Retriever Training the Wildrose Way: Raising a Gentlemans Gundog for Home & Field by Mike Stewart
August 26, 2015
Well written and well laid out for training purposes. Having used the Wildrose Way, I can attest to great and immediate success; a disciplined dog at home and in the field. However, The finished Wildrose Gentleman's dog is too robotic for me. I implement more of a personal and fun relationship when training is not in session, giving the pup more freedom after school.
