# This book "makes it simple for anyone to train their gundog, no matter what facilities are available". The book is divided into two halves. The first half deals with training from day one to eighteen months old; early learning; assessment; how to hunt; the right road to retrieving; steadiness; dog about town. The second half deals with training and working your young dog in the field. This includes chapters on rough shooting; picking up; beating; "paw perfect at the peg"; field trials; "buying or breeding the next dog." A complete manual which should prove of great use.
