4.0 out of 5 stars I recommend it, September 22, 2008
Good, no-nonsense training book for pointing dog owners. Takes you from pup almost thru finished dog. There really aren't any (pointing) dog training books out there like this. I enjoyed it a lot. Easy read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, February 23, 2009
I purchased this book in preperation for my new bird dog. I have had a bird dog in the past that I trained without any help, and he definately had some flaws. This book hit the spots that I missed with my last dog and gave me some good advice about working with quartering. (something that my late dog struggled with.)

I look forward to trying out a few of the authors methods.
