Further Control

About the Book

A gundog training manual designed to help those who wish to train a dog themselves, using reward based methods. This book concerns work for handler and dog once basic commands have been learnt and understood. The book shows what gundogs need to learn, how handlers should teach the dog, and also gives reasons why a dog needs to learn the concepts advocated.
