Editorial Reviews

Review

". . . beautifully illustrated. It's also thorough, beginning with the selection of a pup and taking you through early field training." -- Virginia Afield

"...if there is a way to train your hound without pulling your hair out or getting ulcers, you'll find it in Falk's book." -- New York Daily News

"Falk offers the best raining tools and equipment, the basics of nonverbal communication, obedience training, beginning field training, the lowdown on different breeds and more." -- Outdoors Unlimited

"In twenty-eight chapters, Falk manages to answer just about every question that a dog owner can come up with. Not only that, but the color and black-and-white photos are great. Worth its price, and then some." -- Field & Stream

"This is a book on dogs and dog training you don't want to miss." -- The News Sun, Waukegan, IL

3.0 out of 5 stars Gun Dogs is OK, April 13, 2000
By 
Jerry Kraus (New York State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gun Dogs (Master Training Series) (Hardcover)
The book was well written, but just did not meet my expectations. Wiht a new Brittany, and no experience training a gun dog, I was looking for more nuts and bolts. I was halfway through the book before we got to training. It was all about breeds, picking a puppy and a name, and selecting a collar and leash.

The whistle and hand signals section is helpful. The forced fetching instruction is good, and the training with pigeons is informative.

I only wish there was more step-by-step training guidelines "for dummies."

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable and truly "user friendly", April 18, 2003
Gun Dogs: Playful Pup To Hunting Partner by master hunter and dog trainer John R. Falk is specifically written for anyone wanting to hunt with a canine companion, whether they are novice hunters and first-time dog owners or seasoned dog hunters with previous field-hunting experience. Superbly enhanced throughout with black and white photography, Gun Dogs comprehensively covers choosing a puppy (and naming it), the different breeds of dogs as the relate to hunting, the best training tools and equipment, selected a capable veterinarian, the basics of nonverbal communication, obedience training, and beginning field training. The debut title in the new Voyageur Press "Master Training Series" for training dogs, Gun Dogs is an invaluable and truly "user friendly" instructional reference for anyone wanting to hunt with dogs.
