Synopsis
Michael Brander has trained pointer-retrievers for many years with great success. In this book, he has written a complete guide to training from the initial stages through to field trial level. Essentially, however, he has written for the owner who wants a thoroughly useful all-round working gundog, which should be able to work with equal facility in the open, in cover and in water. In "Training the Pointer - Retriever Gundog", Michael Brander outlines how to train both the puppy and the adult dog, for, as he takes care to emphasize, training is not just the reult of one season or even two. Both handler and dog should continue to learn from each other throughout their lifetimes. The book includes a chapter on training and working two dogs and another on field trialling as well as a comprehensive glossary of terms used in training.

Customer Reviews

Read this book and your dog will love you forever
This is the only book you will ever need to train any dog, whether you've got a working dog, or a domestic pooch.

I have read a few doggy training books which take 100 pages to tell you something that could have been said on one. Well padded out dribbling waffling nonsense

This book is a no nonsense, down to earth book which easily explains in simple practical terms all the things covering the basic principals of the way any loving dog owner should train their dog.
