Sister of Avid Hunter

The only time of the year I read the hunting and fishing literature is for my brother and for the holidays. This is the first time I did my reading not in an aisle but online. Great to quickly access and compare books on hunting with Springer Spaniels. My brother is knowledgeable about these topics and seems pleased with this book and he is picky. So that is my review. If I hear otherwise I will update this.
Great Book!!

This is one of the better training tools you'll ever buy. Roebuck take's you step by step from puppy through the second year. I refer to this book every time I start a new puppy. If you hunt upland birds this book is a must.
Excellent book

This is an excellent book by the late Ken Roebuck. I used Ken's advice to train my Springer and I am very pleased with the results. Ken writes the book with the beginner in mind.The only drawback is that he doesn't give much useful information on how to train for blind retrieves.
A MUST HAVE for anyone training a HUNTING dog

I have read many books on dog training, and never before has anyone offered a plan so detailed or as simple to follow as Kenneth Roebuck. His insight into how a dog thinks and how we can use that to our advantage in training is at once ordinary and astounding. Skip all the popular training methods of the moment and use this one. You will never raise a better gun dog.
A great training guide from begining to end.

This book takes you through the selection of and training of a gun dog using the late Kenneth Roebuck's methods. This book outlines the use of both positive and negative reinforcment to produce a quality hunting companion. This is a great resource for the man wanting to train his own dog, and if I could only have one training reference, this would be it.
