5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary for the reference library if you hunt with beagles, February 1, 2002

If you are new to this aspect of hunting and dog handling, or want to "step up" your relationship with beagles to bring out their truly awesome hunting characteristics, then this book is for you. If you are an experience field trialer or show dog event person, then skip this book - it is for hunters who like to get out in the wilds with good friends and great hounds. Bill Bennett is like a favorite uncle, always there with a helpful suggestion, but not preachy regarding his methods. Respect the land and wild creatures, and train your beagles with consistency and kindness are predominant messages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Training manual, January 2, 2000

I found his delivery to be clear and easy to understand. I purchased other beagle books and didn't find much on the training process. Here the author takes you from the first day of ownership to a finished hunting dog. I have tried to follow his instructions and now have a well started puppy.

1.0 out of 5 stars too basic, January 25, 2001

By

This review is from: Beagle Training Basics: The Care, Training and Hunting of the Beagle (Paperback)

this book might be a useful read for someone who has never seen a dog but other than that, don't expect much. the first 1/2 of the book is about choosing a dog and setting up a kennel. the second half is so-called training advice which is "put the dog down and let him figure it out." dont buy this book looking for training or hunting how-tos.
