Title: Good book... better if you already have a broke dog or 10!
Product review: I trained my first dog using the Delmar Smith method, supplemented w/ info from friends, pros, and other authors (when things were not working out). I bought and read Mr. Williams' book and finding it an enjoyable read, was nevertheless a bit disappointed, I must say. His method centers around running experienced and novice dogs together so the youngsters will learn the game of hunting; good when you already have a string of trained dogs.However, upon bringing my 2nd pup home, this book really hit home. I ran the pup w/ the older dog ~50% of the time afield and had him searching, pointing, and backing at 7 months w/ little work on my part. His tips for working dogs together were invaluable and have really helped my pup come into his own as a bird finder!In addition, this book is loaded w/ great tips on hunting w/ pointers in general; it is well written and comes well recommended (after you check out the Smith and West methods).
