Simply the BEST training book for hunting and field-trial dogs. Subtitled "The Delmar Smith Method". Delmar Smith is a world-famous, five-time winner of the National Open and US Brittany championships, the father of AKC horse-back competition, and the best friend a dog ever had. Teaches three steps for training through Point of Contact, Association and Repetition - without bullying the dog in any way. It's a great "read" - and easy to grasp through the skill of the author, Bill Tarrant.
