This book is a great tool, It;'s the 2nd or 3rd I've purchased. I keep loaning them out after five labs and somehow they never seem to make it back!!

I have been using this book along side with the Gun Dog book from the same author. It breaks everything down for a beginner like myself, no matter what you want your dog trained for. I would recommend this book.

This book was recommended to me from a couple of trainers on how to get my puppy started. I have used the book to start my pup out and he is doing extremely well.

Used this book as well as Gun dog to train a lab over 15 years ago. Made an excellent retriever and upland dog using these training methods. Hope to have the same resultsn this time around.
