5.0 out of 5 stars Close-Hunting Bird Dogs, December 12, 2001
By 
HAROLD H PIERCE (AUGUSTA, GEORGIA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Bird Dog Training (Hardcover)
The theme couldn't be clearer: The author states "the average field-trial dog is not the kind of shooting dog today's bird hunter is looking for. We don't hunt on horseback, we hunt on our feet ... we want dogs that stay with us ... but that doesn't mean we want dogs that just potter about underfoot ... a good close-hunting gun dog has all the style and class of a good field-trial dog ... but he operates on a shorter string"

And rest of the book is well organized and presented in a highly useful manner which reflects the years of experience of a gun-dog editor who has sought opinions of outstanding trainers. The coins I invested in this book were well spent. My only question is simply this : what took me so long to find this book!

This book is good. It provides some basic technics on methods of training. I personally prefered "how to help gun dogs train themselves". But, this was a good book with good training ideas.
