Yay - I received my book today from Labrador Rescue North West :D

Not read it properly yet but had a flick through and its brilliant. Just the thing I need to get my head around this gundog stuff!

Love the bit about trainining your pup to the stop whistle. I can see I will have to practice blowing a whistle and following with the voice commands at the same time - apparently it can be done with practice :lol:

Hello Andy, The book was originally written as a series of articles for North West Labrador Rescue site, not specifically for people wonting to work their dogs on shoots, but because I figured that if only people could be encouraged into training their dogs there would be less ending up in rescue. So yes, the book is relevant whether you want to eventually work your dog, or simply have a dog who is a pleasure to live with. And of course you will also be helping the rescue. :D

Regards, John

Thank You "soonToBe" I picked up your link and ordered one!!!! :D :D :D

I wish I had had this book 15 years ago!!! when I was starting out with a lab puppy, every "Newbie" should have one :D :D :D

This book is not just about "Gundoggery", it's also about training and bonding with the best furry friend you will ever have!! 8) 8) 8)
