Title: Wrong Book for the Job
Product review: This book is over 46 years old and the training methods in it have largely been overcome with more knowledge on dog behavior, development and newer training methods which yield better results.For whatever reason there are still the stubborn die-hard disciples of this book who hold onto it and recommend it every chance they get. They also get really defensive when you suggest that the book is out dated.Please do yourself and your dog a favor and look into books by Evan Graham (Smartworks), Chris Akin (Duck Dog Basics), Amy Dahl (10 Minute Retriever), Mike Lardy (Total Retriever) or Jackie Mertens (Sound Beginnings).If you do buy this book please disregard the methods he uses for intro to gunfire (banging pans at dinner) and correcting a dog that has not been taught what to do.If you don't believe me get in touch with your local retrieving club and ask them or go to [...] and ask there.
