I have read both Water Dog and Gun Dog by Richard Wolters, and must say this video is an excellent supplement. Being able to see the thories and techniques from Water Dog put in motion definetly will help the beginning dog trainer (such as myself), move along at an advanced pace. I highly recomend this tape, with or without the book.

If you want to train a waterfowl retriever. This DVD is all you need. I have read almost all his books, specifically Water Dog twice. This DVD covers all the basics and beyond.

Really good and informative. Lots of info especially how to go step by step... Would have given a five but I think this DVD shows older dogs for training examples rather than dogs that should be puppies.

This is a good summary of the natural dog training process. The only thing I thought it was missing was a troubleshooting section. But, all of the DVD's I have watched have lacked in this area.

On the whole this is a very good guide on how to take your dog through the training steps but I would definitly recommend a book to go along with it.

This is an excellent video that goes thru the training drills in a precise format.

Could be more in depth, but helps with visualizing some retriever training techniques and getting your timing correct on some of the drills.

I had never thought to buy a video on training my dog but it was a big help. I take my dog duck hunting but it wasnt until I started using some of the techiniques in this video that my dog actually started producing. Now I no longer have to bring my chest waders and my dog does the work :>

As a busy single father of three, I was wanting to train our new labrador puppy. I am one who has little time and sometimes little patience. "Water dog" gives precise training activites and also tells you at what age in a dogs life these activities need to be taught. The training activites are simple and take only minutes a day to do. I was surprised by how fast our pup caught on to what we were trying to teach him.

This is a great video and trust me, neither you or your dog will be dissappointed by the results, if you just apply what is taught on the video!

Excellent DVD, it walks you through the training process from the puppy stages to a well trained retriever. I watched the entire video the first time and have gone back to view sections that pertain to the particular point in the training process I happen to be working on mastering. I also purchased "The Hunting Retriever" which complemented the DVD well.

We raise Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and have used this video (& the corresponding book before the video was available) for each of our dogs. It is straightforward & easy to go one step at a time, by stopping the video after each section. The instructions are clear & concise, and only require you to work your dog for 10 min twice a day. It starts off with choosing a pup, all the way to a finished retriever. It does not, however include instructions on field trialing. This is strictly a video that enables the viewer to train their dog to duck hunt with them well & efficiently. Good tool to have, especially for the hunter who's training for the first time, and a good reminder for the old hats.
