    Good Book to Start with

    The Information that is presented in these training books by Richard Wolters, is possible some of the best out-lined and presented training material that i have ready for training dog.

    Great Book

    This is a truly great book! Many people don't like it, particularly the oldtimers and the people who want big ranging dogs. If you live in the city, have limited facilities and want to own and train your own pointing dog you will enjoy this book and if you follow it you will have a very well behaved dog. Now the early training that this book advocates does tend to shorten the hunting dogs range and keep them under 100 yards, but if you want that field trial dog or big ranging dog this book is NOT for you. This book is a great book if you want a close ranging, easily controlled hunting partner. I have a brittany that i trained following this guide and she is one of the softest dogs i have owned. She is a year old hunts to cover, ranging out a little over 100 yards when needed and holds her points as well as retrieves to hand though i have only done natural retrieving with her. She did have a number of natural intstincts but she is controllable and listens to her commands well. This book has helped me shape one of my best hunting dogs ever and i will use it on every dog from here on out. This book isn't for everyone but if you fit it, it will show you great results. Follow it to the 't' and have fun with your dog. - A READER

    Easy for 1st Time Trainers

    I had never owned a bird dog before and was at a total loss as to train him. I followed the book's instructions and have a fully trained German Shorthair Pointer. He follows hand signals and whistle commands better than any Lab I have seen and is well behaved in the home. I really enjoyed the ease of reading. There were no wasted words in this book. I have read it at least four times and go back to it each fall for a refresher course before the season.

    A must read training book for upland bird dog owners.

    Training the upland bird dog has never been covered in this way. Wolters uses scientific data to explain what's going on in your dog's 'noggin'. His methods are so simple to use that it's hard to believe that they work. They most definitely do. The outstanding illustrations show exactly how to run through each of the training sessions. Wolters also explains many alternate methods for some of the more difficult lessons. Read this book. The colorful writing will make you laugh all the way through, knowing that you'll will come out with a great gun dog at the end.

    Quick easy way to train your gun dog

    This book gives easy to understand advice about how a non-professional can train a pointing and retreiving dog for field work. It worked for us on both our bird dogs and now we're giving it to people who buy our puppies. Much of the book is common sense and it sounds too easy but it works !!!!
