Once again Martha Greenlee has put together a useful, compact guide that will benefit you and your bird dog in training. This book is designed to take with you to the training field, but it isn’t about how to train as much as it is about how to think about training. The tips and ideas came from everyday situations of working dogs and consist of problems and questions Martha encountered as she trained her dogs using the Bill West method.
