Retriever Training Drills for Marking is the most comprehensive collection of drills ever compiled into book form - techniques that formerly have been spread primarily by word of mouth. Throughout, Spencer keeps in mind the limitations under which most armatures train. Each drill in this
dog training book is diagramed, with careful explanation of purpose, prerequisites, necessary equipment, and pitfalls to avoid. The exercises herein are limited to field work and oriented to amateurs training their own dogs for hunting or hunt tests. Only you can turn them into drills by running your dog through them repetitively.
