Book Reviews of Retriever Training: A Back to Basics Approach
Book Review: Great overall approach
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, Retriever training, is well laid out, direct, and down to earth for working retriever training. It is sponsored by Ducks Unlimited so you know that it is focused on hunting but a good portion of the book is on basic retriever obedience. The author follows a low pressure, high praise approach that does not rely on electronic collars but rather on handler-dog relationship and the dogs basic willingness to please.
If you are looking to train your dog for hunting this would be a decent reference, though having an experienced hand to help is more important in my opinion. What this book offers is a good reference and framework for getting started for the novice and experienced owner alike.
I find this useful for any owner, if they want their retriever to be a pet or a working dog, you could do worse then spending a few hours reading through this book.
