5.0 out of 5 stars Gun Dog, February 19, 2000
By Shawn T. Seim (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
Richard Wolters work was recommended to me by a fellow bird hunter. I found the book to be well written and to the point, pardon my pun. I purchased this book in preperation for my first Bird Dog. I tested Mr. Wolters technique on our family dog, a Beagle, and I was able to have her stopping on a dime to "WHOA". And after just ten minutes I was able to get her to Quarter back and forth across a baseball field. I can't wait for my hunting dog to arrive so that I can begin training him for the next hunting season. "Gun Dog" has definitley become my training bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best training book for novices, September 19, 1999
By A Customer
I raise and train German Shorthaired Pointers. This book has been my "bible" in getting our puppies well-started. Very practical and easy-to-use advice. The wonderful photos with which this book is filled, make Wolters' book even more interesting and his lessons easier to follow. The first book a beginner looking to train a "pointing gun dog" should buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Gun Dog Book - Because it works, January 8, 2000
By Chapy (Springfield, VA) - See all my reviews
I highly recomend this book to anyone who wants to train their dog to hunt and retrieve. I took my dog (at 17 weeks and no training) and within the week, I had it sitting, staying, coming to me. Quickly thereafter my dog was fetching and pointing pheasant wings. I took my dog out and hunted at 9 months and she took to the field readily and pointed up a couple of birds for us. I also took these principles up to NY to visit a friend and had his new 3 month old pup from the pound sitting, staying and coming within the weekend. Enjoy this book and your dog. It may seem silly to actually do some of his techniques, but they really do work.
