Retriever Pups: The Formative First Year

In the conversational writing style he was known for, Field & Stream gun dog columnist Bill Tarrant covers the basics for the humane training of all types of retrievers. He covers a dog's pack instinct and how owners can use that "need to bond" to their advantage in training; choosing a puppy; whistle training; hand-signal training; fetching; and much more.
