A lot of training books are done with the idea of showing you how to get your dog to do something, and if it doesn't work--you're on your own. RETRIEVE stays with you when things don't go just right--which is almost always. Here you will find as much common sense and uncomplicated advice as you'll find anywhere. The neophyte as well as the more advanced trainer will find many non standard but effective ways of dealing with problems that are unique to this book. At the end of each chapter is a list of common problems that occur in training--and how to correct them without shock collers, whips, ear pinch or any harsh treatment. The entertainment value is high in terms of training and trialing anecdotes. Bill writes with humor and message. This book is about dog training, of course, but it's more than that. Anecdotes scattered throughout lend humor to the book, and show attitudes and emotions that make sunrise in a duck blind a special feeling.
