5.0 out of 5 stars
It gives you an intelligent, gentle approach to training,
By A Customer
This review is from: Training the Versatile Retriever to Hunt Upland Birds (Hardcover)
I though this book was super, the authors common sense approach made me say "why didn't I think of that". His techniques are intelligent, as natural as gun-dog training can be, and is always in the best interest of the dog. Shock collar trainers with little patience should read this book. Did ya know actually loving a dog can make them want to work for you? Electricution isn't the only way. Also the tips from the other trainers were insightful, and very valuable. A Great Book!

Very little "how to" in this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Training the Versatile Retriever to Hunt Upland Birds (Hardcover)
The author pulls together several training masters to give your their concept of training but leaves you with little advise on how you should train. I do not recommend this book. Returned my copy.

This review is from: Training the Versatile Retriever to Hunt Upland Birds (Hardcover)
This book is basically just the author rambling on about how he and a few other professional trainers have started a new movement in retriever training. It has very little about actual training and is more just unfocused and worthless talk. There were a few good ideas but if you are looking for a book to help you train your dog this is not for you. If you want to read about what the author thinks about some of the professional trainers in the country, it would be ok.
