Review of Training Your Pointing Dog for Hunting and Home (Hardcover)

Good, no-nonsense training book for pointing dog owners. Takes you from pup almost thru finished dog. There really aren't any (pointing) dog training books out there like this. I enjoyed it a lot. Easy read.

Product Description
Training Your Pointing Dog for Hunting and Home tells how to develop an obedient gun dog that is also an affectionate family companion, with training schedules and advice on everything from handling a newborn pup to teaching advanced field techniques and finely tuned pointing manners. The book presents a simplified, commonsense approach that can be used in its entirety or to troubleshoot individual aspects of your dog s education. Explained is the importance of early obedience training and appropriate transition to the field, including tips for retrieving, quartering, sight pointing, and bird work. With proper care and handling, you can cultivate your pup s natural aptitudes and achieve a rewarding relationship with a healthy, happy gun dog.
