Raising and training a bird dog is not like owning a pet. It is a partnership built on trust, repetition, patience, and a shared obsession with birds.
Your First Bird Dog is for the first-timer who has read a dozen internet forums, watched twenty YouTube videos, and still isn't sure where to actually start. The person who has a deposit down on a litter or just brought a pup home and is already wondering: Am I doing this right?
This book is for hunters who want a reliable hunting companion—a dog that points or reliably flushes, holds steady, retrieves to hand, and loves the work. It is specifically for the person who doesn't have 100 acres of private training ground, doesn't have unlimited time, and doesn't have a budget for a professional trainer.
Most of the foundational work in this book happens in your backyard, your living room, or a local public field.
You will learn:
- How to choose a breed and puppy that fits your life, hunting style, and temperament
- How to set up your home and yard for success before the puppy arrives
- The non-negotiable obedience commands that make everything else possible
- How to introduce live birds and awaken your dog's natural instincts
- How to introduce the gun without creating a gun-shy, fearful dog
- How to teach "Whoa," the command that defines a reliable hunting dog
- How to transition from yard drills to real field scenarios
- How to condition your dog for the physical demands of a hunting season
- How to troubleshoot the most common breakdowns
- How to execute your first hunt and learn from it

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
