About this title

Synopsis

This invaluable book is for anyone who decides to acquire a gun dog, of any breed, to accompany them either shooting, picking-up or beating. The revised edition has been updated and well indexed to take the reader step by step through the various stages in the education of a gun dog. Emphasis is given to the importance of basic training in obedience, the need to establish a routine, and discipline not only when working, but in the home. There is also useful discussion on whether to start with a trained or part-trained dog, or a young puppy. The whole subject is covered in depth, without being too technical and both existing gun dog owners and anyone acquiring a gun dog for the first time will find this essential reading.
