Title: Average book - seemed outdated
Review: I guess the book would be okay for someone training a Lab strictly for a hunting companion. As a general guide for dog training I found it lacking. The author spends alot of time talking about his experiences with Labs in the past and seems like a pretty miserable, ornery sort of guy. He has a few short drills concerning obedience training for your dog but then jumps into selecting a dog, training using field trials and gives references to friends in the business of breeding and training dogs. Problem is, the book was first written around 1940 with the last revision around 1977. Not too current. Again, for the hunter concerned with getting a top-quality Lab for field work, proabably a good book. For the average owner who wants a well-trained, loving pet around the house this book is not worth anything.
