Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to training setters and pointers for field use. The author argues that training dogs for hunting is an art, not a science. Mastering this art requires technical knowledge, understanding the psychology of the dog, and above all, a thorough understanding of oneself. The author emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, patience and control, as a hot-tempered owner can easily ruin a dog's training. The author goes on to discuss the relative merits of setters and pointers, the importance of pedigree, and the best practices for raising puppies from weaning to adulthood. He stresses the need to carefully address common puppy diseases such as worms and distemper, and also suggests methods to prevent gunshyness in young dogs. He introduces the reader to the specific vocabulary and techniques used in field training, such as pointing, backing, ranging, and quartering. The authorââ â¢s insights into training methods and the psychology of dogs make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the sport of bird hunting. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332346240_0
