"Mike Gould is the most brilliant gun dog trainer in the world. He has raised dog training to a higher plane. Mike's dogs are happy dogs, enthused and birdy dogs, hunting fools, who love their human companions and bond with them so the two of them become a hunting machine miraculous to see. 'The Labrador Shooting Dog' is the best dog training book I've ever read-and I've read 'em all!"-Bill Tarrant, late gun dog editor of Field & Stream and author of 12 dog training books as well as the Pulitzer-Prize nominated "The Magic of Dogs." " 'The Labrador Shooting Dog' is just what it says-it's about dogs that think on their feet, dogs that will take you hunting. It's a great read for the beginner or the professional. Even more important, it touches on the spiritual connection between man, his dog and their environment."-Jim Charlton, professional Labrador breeder and trainer, featured in Bill Tarrant's "Training the Versatile Retriever" and "Gun Dog Training: New Strategies from Today's Top Trainers."
Book Description
This is destined to be the classic work on training the Labrador retriever as an all-around hunting dog. Noted breeder and trainer Mike Gould takes us from the very beginning-selecting a puppy for athleticism, "birdyness," conformation, intelligence, and personality-to the end result, a top-flight, do-anything, go-anywhere Labrador shooting dog. Mike teaches his special techniques of using love, solid obedience and faithful attention to detail to build-brick by brick-a powerful, poised and confident gun dog that can handle any challenge, from quail, grouse and dove to geese, ducks, and even wild turkeys-yes, wild turkeys. Mike talks about the factors that other trainers overlook: habitat, terrain, scenting conditions, conformation, and most of all, birds. The book includes a stunning 16-page color section featuring the famous Grand River gun dogs, with photos by K.D. McGraw and Gary Hubbell.
