Summary: Best puppy training method
Review: I have used this book to train several dogs with great success. In fact, my book is so old and passed around so much, it is falling apart. I love it. I do not hunt, but the puppy/dog training method section is so logical! It works everytime! I highly recommend this book.
Thanks

Summary: gun dog
Review: I have watched the video for this book, which I have borrowed from the library, but they do not have this book. I have just acquired a 7 week old Brittany and am applying what I have seen in the video to make sure I will end up with a well trained birddog. A picture is not worth a 1000 words, I need the book.

Summary: The Best Gun Dog Book - Because it works
Review: I highly recomend this book to anyone who wants to train their dog to hunt and retrieve. I took my dog (at 17 weeks and no training) and within the week, I had it sitting, staying, coming to me. Quickly thereafter my dog was fetching and pointing pheasant wings. I took my dog out and hunted at 9 months and she took to the field readily and pointed up a couple of birds for us. I also took these principles up to NY to visit a friend and had his new 3 month old pup from the pound sitting, staying and coming within the weekend. Enjoy this book and your dog. It may seem silly to actually do some of his techniques, but they really do work.

Summary: Best training book for novices
Review: I raise and train German Shorthaired Pointers. This book has been my "bible" in getting our puppies well-started. Very practical and easy-to-use advice. The wonderful photos with which this book is filled, make Wolters' book even more interesting and his lessons easier to follow. The first book a beginner looking to train a "pointing gun dog" should buy.

Summary: the book plus the video are great
Review: i think i am quite literate about the topic dog training - and i really loved this book and the video - there is nothing in it that will harm your dog - as some reviews tell you - to punishing ,... nothing - i used his wolters methods to teach my german shepard - now i teacj my enlish pointer - he is 5 months old and i took him to his first hunting - he was well prepared - it even was more an education for me to trust him more...

it is my first hunting dog - and people ask me where i bought the dog and how i train him because he behaves so well (with 5 months he is similar when not even better compared to most the old dogs in our area)

all i can say is that i love this book - easy to read and easy to handle - buy the video too and you have a clear view what and when to train (age of dog) and how to train - and it tkes really just 15 minutes per day - great stuff

Summary: Could be better
Review: I was a bit disappointed with this book. It does not give step by step instruction and leaves you feeling like there is something missing. There are better dog training books out there. The author has a few "old" ways of training and there are better methods.

Summary: Easy learning
Review: I'm from Norway and I have used this book on my flatcoated retriever. I have never had a dog before. My dog became a Norwegian Fieldtrial Champion when he was 3 years old. I have followed Gun Dog side by side and I can recommend it stongly.

Summary: Completely outdated...give your dog a break!
Review: If you have a copy of this book on your shelf, chuck it. This book is completely outdated. This book is mired in the training techniques of the '50's. Bill Tarrant wrote some memorable books on dog training, but a lot of his material was based upon Mike Gould's advancements in dog training. Check out "The Labrador Shooting Dog" by Mike Gould or Tarrant's classic, "Hey, Pup, Fetch it Up!"
