Save time by training your gun dog the easy, painless and fun way. The most critical developmental time for dogs is the first 16 weeks of life. Since puppies usually go to their new owners between 8 and 12 weeks of age, only a few short weeks remain for the dog's potential to be tapped. Proper socialization, exposure and conditioning must take place within this time frame if behavioral problems such as not coming when called, not retrieving, or failure to point are to be avoided.
In the United States each year, over 8 million gun dogs work in unison with the 16 million people who have come to enjoy the thrill of hunting upland birds and waterfowl.
Of that number, thousands will spend approximately $600 to purchase a new pup within the next year only to find that unnecessary mistakes have ruined an otherwise fine gun dog's potential.
It doesn't have to be that way. One of America's great dog people, and veteran editor of The Gun Dog Supreme, Joan Bailey, guides both new and experienced dog owners through that all important first year of their new puppy's life with her book--"How To Help Gun Dogs Train Themselves."
Designed in an easy to read, step-by-step format. "How To Help Gun Dogs Train Themselves" assists gun dog owners by providing proven methods emphasizing socialization, exposure and conditioning during the critical first 12 months of a dogs life. Under the skillful direction of Joan Bailey, gun dog enthusiasts will learn what thousands of successful bird hunters have known for years--with a little help gun dogs really train themselves.
