This is the first book on training gun dogs ever specifically written to remove the whip from the trainer's hand. Through the pages in this hunting dog training book, you'll learn how to train a class gun dog with humanity common sense, and love.

When he's asked to describe his training methods, Tarrant puts things this way: "Train with intimacy, not intimidation. Train with your head, not your hand. Never let anything bad happen to your dog that he can associate with you. Always position your dog to self-train. Use training gear that gives Pup the choice of how much he wants to endure.
