Customer Reviews

Good for hunting beginners.

How To Train Your Own Gun Dog is useful for beginners, and probably less so for experienced hunters. It provides good guidance on which breeds are appropriate for each type of game. It also has a clear timeline for training progress. It may try to do too much in one book. For example, it includes separate sections for pointing dogs, spaniels, and retrievers. If you do not yet have a dog, this info is helpful. Otherwise, about half of the book is not pertinent to you.
