# The book "takes the reader step by step through the various stages in the education of a gundog. Emphasis is given to the importance of basic training in obedience, the need to establish a routine, and discipline not only when working, but in the home. There is also useful discussion about whether to start with a trained or part-trained dog, or young puppy. The whole subject is covered in depth, without being too technical, and both existing gundog owners and anyone acquiring a gundog for the first time will find this essential reading." Veronica Heath is the pen-name of Veronica Blackett, the daughter of Henry Tegner.
