If your puppy could walk into a bookstore and buy one training manual as a gift for both himself and you, the person he's taken for life, this is the book he'd choose. Why? Because if pup could write a book from a dogs point of view to teach anyone how to train any breed of gun dog to fetch any bird his master wanted in hand, these are the things he would say. And when Pup got old, after a lifetime of experience in the field, and review the book he would have written, he'd conclude, "I wouldn't change a word". This complete, practical guide to retrieve training starts with the basics choosing a puppy and keeping him happy and healthy. In succeeding chapters, Tarrant explains how to introduce Pup to the field and teach him to cast, fetch, and retrieve.

Bill Tarrant has helped thousands of hunters train their dogs with his books.
Now you can force a dog to do something before he's accepted you--or what you want him to do--and this dog will grudge you, fight you, be a resentful worker. Or you can read him, see when he's ready to take the lesson, get done what you want, and have a happy worker.
