vey helpful book

this is the best book on training a retreiver i have ever read. i agree wholeheartedly with the author's views on the use of force in dog training, and most other methods dictate that some force be used. mr. tarrant has helped america one step at a time to become better trainers and better friends to the dogs that share lifes. very well done.

Excellent training method with reduced use of force.

Most methods of dog training rely heavly on the use of force. This method is an excellent alternative. The techniques are simple and effective, but will require a lot of hands on work for the handler. This is not a twenty minute program that will have you walking with a perfectly trained pooch. Rather a life time of commitment by you and your buddy. Mike Boehm
