Summary: The Ultimate Guide to Bird Dog Training
Review: I ordered this book in hopes of receiving an up to date training book. I was somewhat disappointed. The book looks like it is a new updated training book; and even states inside that it contains the authors older material with new updated training methods, but I found it to be only dated marerial. The pictures are from the 70's, and not good ones at that. I do feel like the methods would work for a person training a pointer; I was trying to obtain information in the training of a lab for upland game, and this book was lacking in that reguards. If you are looking for a newer material, you may want to check other sources. I am trying The Labrador Shooting Dog next.

Summary: The Ultimate Guide to Bird Dog Training
Review: The theme couldn't be clearer: The author states "the average field-trial dog is not the kind of shooting dog today's bird hunter is looking for. We don't hunt on horseback, we hunt on our feet ... we want dogs that stay with us ... but that doesn't mean we want dogs that just potter about underfoot ... a good close-hunting gun dog has all the style and class of a good field-trial dog ... but he operates on a shorter string"And rest of the book is well organized and presented in a highly useful manner which reflects the years of experience of a gun-dog editor who has sought opinions of outstanding trainers. The coins I invested in this book were well spent. My only question is simply this : what took me so long to find this book!

Summary: The Ultimate Guide to Bird Dog Training
Review: This book is GREAT! My husband got me interested in training bird dogs after going on a quail hunt recently. I reviewed the books on Amazon that were available on the subject and chose this one to get an idea of what bird dog training would entail. I was skeptical that I could actually do this. I am hooked. This book made so much since to me! I am ready to get started with a puppy today. It is a lot of work I know but this book is an excellent way to get started. I know it will be an excellent resource after I get my pup. I have talked with a few folks that actually raise and train pointing dogs and they say I'm on the right track. I highly recommend this book.
