Product Description
Training the Hunting Retriever is a collection of the most successful training techniques used by some of the best professional hunting-retriever trainers in the country. These methods are not only used for competition, but also for hunting, and offer fundamental advice such as how to pick a gun-dog pup; how to use electronic training collars; how best to introduce and drill come, sit, and heel commands; and advanced drills including the cross pattern, double cross pattern, and mixed lining and handling. Here you will learn how to train your dog to turn its head with our gun, so that it will see which bird you are shooting at and mark where the quarry falls. You'll also learn how to steady a retriever without force, how creative fencing can help solve training problems, and how to train retrievers for upland work. Hunters and trainers return to this classic work year after year for its practical advice. It is a complete guide that will teach beginners to train exceptional retrievers and show experienced gun-dog hunters how to maintain them. (6 X 9, 256 pages, b&w photos, diagrams)

This book contains info from many trainers. As a result, you get varying perspectives on dog training. The book contains innovative ideas on how to keep retrievers steady which is one of the hardest things to do. I would recommend this book to anyone.

This book was great for me because I am a beginner and everything I have read has been about field trails. This book put a spin on hunting not trails. A must read for a person wanting to train for hunting.

I've read a half dozen gun dog books over the years and this one is by far the best. Most of the others were written in the 60's and 70's and tend to be pretty corny. The author has compiled techniques from trainers across the country and organizes them in a readable and efficiant manner. He also uses training methods designed for hunting dogs, not trial dogs, and duplicates realistic hunting situations in his training sessions.
This book impressed me so much that I bought a couple copies for two of my hunting partners so that we can all train our pups together using the same methods.
Jerome did it the right way! November 23, 1999

Training The Hunting Retriever wasn't written by Jerome Robinson the dog trainer, it was written by Jerome Robinson the interviewer. He talked to all the reigning authorities: Omar Driskill, Jim Dobbs, D.L. Jones, Ron Mathis and others, then wrote this "interviewed" knowledge down in a beginning to advanced, easy to follow, fun to read format. Great for the beginner, first time retriever owner! You get the best of all the methods, ideologies and thechniques for training retrievers to be hunters.
