Summary: Trained my Dog
Comment: I bought a Chesapeake Retriever and purchased this book to train her for duck hunting.
The book was very well outlined for each day and the corresponding training on that day. Not only did it teach you how to give proper training, but safe guarded you from using improper techniques that could damage your dog. As outlined I spend the 15 minutes every day with the designated training. Soon my dog progressed at a fast rate. Now she is a loyal companion at my side during cold duck hunts VERY excited to retrieve ducks.
Negative side about the book are the old pictures which were taken over 15 years ago. The advance training outlines the need for equipment that was either to difficult to build or expensive to buy (dog ropes leading into water, toe lines which cause pain to dog etc...) Also I wanted to finish training with a electric collar (for field use the first couple duck hunting trips) and the book gave no information on how to use one saying basically you are too incompetant or stupid to know how to use one properly so don't try. I did get a electric collar and it fine tuned my dog into a excellent retriever (and I no longer use the collar). This last feature about the book led me to give it 3 stars.

Summary: Best dog training I've seen hands down.
Comment: This book was easy to read and follow, making it the perfect book to start with. I recently got my first serious hunting dog and knew NOTHING about the process of training. I was seriously thinking of professional training her but no more. The book showed my what to do, when to it, how much to do, and that the person doing should be me. Though there is a lot of information in the book, it is presented in a concise and interesting manner. If you are a dog person, you will have a hard time putting the book done once you have started.

Summary: Everything you need to have a great retrieving labrador.
Comment: This book gives you lesson by lesson the course for training your dog. It helps you understand the psychology of training a dog. It is great for the first time trainer and veteran alike. I now have a high powered fully hand signal trained labrador that is a blast to hunt with and is fully obedient at all times.
A great book for anyone obedience training any pup.
