Retriever Puppy Training, The Right Start for Hunting presents a program of basic training for turning young retrievers into efficient and enthusiastic workers. Although many retriever owners are very competent trainers, they lack a plan of continuity so important for developing a puppy's confidence. This book provides a step-by-step teaching schedule that correlates to a dog’s mental and physical development. The reader will learn socialization and obedience training techniques, retrieving commands, correct field training and yardwork practice, and what equipment to use—all an owner needs to know to produce a cooperative house pet and a reliable hunting companion

Author's Biography:
Cherylon Loveland has been training all breeds of retrievers for over twenty-five years. Clarice Rutherford is co-author of How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With and is a Labrador breeder and trainer for over twenty-five years.
