July 16, 2005: This is a truly great book! Many people don't like it, particularly the oldtimers and the people who want big ranging dogs. If you live in the city, have limited facilities and want to own and train your own pointing dog you will enjoy this book and if you follow it you will have a very well behaved dog. Now the early training that this book advocates does tend to shorten the hunting dogs range and keep them under 100 yards, but if you want that field trial dog or big ranging dog this book is NOT for you. This book is a great book if you want a close ranging, easily controlled hunting partner. I have a brittany that i trained following this guide and she is one of the softest dogs i have owned. She is a year old hunts to cover, ranging out a little over 100 yards when needed and holds her points as well as retrieves to hand though i have only done natural retrieving with her. She did have a number of natural intstincts but she is controllable and listens to her commands well. This book has helped me shape one of my best hunting dogs ever and i will use it on every dog from here on out. This book isn't for everyone but if you fit it, it will show you great results. Follow it to the 't' and have fun with your dog. - A READER

January 24, 2002: I had never owned a bird dog before and was at a total loss as to train him. I followed the book's instructions and have a fully trained German Shorthair Pointer. He follows hand signals and whistle commands better than any Lab I have seen and is well behaved in the home. I really enjoyed the ease of reading. There were no wasted words in this book. I have read it at least four times and go back to it each fall for a refresher course before the season.
