Retriever Puppy Training

Emphasizing his “pressure on, pressure off” system, professional trainer and breeder Tom Dokken takes us through the fundamentals of choosing and starting a retriever puppy on the path to becoming a completely finished gun dog for both waterfowl and upland bird hunting. All of the basic commands—sit, down, come, heel, kennel, place and no—plus preliminary retrieving and introduction to water work, live birds, decoys, boats, and gunfire are covered.
