5.0 out of 5 stars A great training guide from begining to end., November 21, 1998

By A Customer

This book takes you through the selection of and training of a gun dog using the late Kenneth Roebuck's methods. This book outlines the use of both positive and negative reinforcment to produce a quality hunting companion. This is a great resource for the man wanting to train his own dog, and if I could only have one training reference, this would be it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE for anyone training a HUNTING dog, July 3, 2000

By	William L. Lehman "grizzly_hackle36" (Elkhart, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have read many books on dog training, and never before has anyone offered a plan so detailed or as simple to follow as Kenneth Roebuck. His insight into how a dog thinks and how we can use that to our advantage in training is at once ordinary and astounding. Skip all the popular training methods of the moment and use this one. You will never raise a better gun dog.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, June 26, 2001

By A Customer

This is an excellent book by the late Ken Roebuck. I used Ken's advice to train my Springer and I am very pleased with the results. Ken writes the book with the beginner in mind.

The only drawback is that he doesn't give much useful information on how to train for blind retrieves.
