Thank you, Mr. Tarrant. This book helped me to understand the simple ways and reasons of how to train a dog to become a gun dog. His methods are softer than most recommend and it is helping me with my non-conventional breed by leaps and bounds. Instead of overpowering my dog, he learns from his own mistakes and none of the training methods or suggestions leave lasting injuries either mental or physically. I have made great progress in my training endeavor for a "gun dog" and probably more than with any other book. I don't want to rush my dog, I want him to become part of me and me part of him. This book offers that. This book does not focus on trials or on the technicality of trials. It focuses on the fact that a dog must be a hunter to actually work in a real field where the winner brings home the bird. It is an easy read and will likely bring tears to your eyes. It is a dog, a pal, a friend not a stereo and these are not stereo instructions.

it is really a very interresting book, i've read it several times, and it teaches you how to train the dog in a very smooth and soft way, i have used all the training items shown in the book , and it really worked great, but the main problem in this training procedure is that it takes a lot of time for the dog to start pointing, and in many cases you will need assistance in this book's techniques.
