Gun dog is good for one thing and one thing only........................fire starter,Wolters was a writer not a  dog trainer..................

  For the best of the best and a dog man thru and thru..........................Wing and Shot by Robert Wehle ...........Also known as ELHEW pointer, a marketeer master but a dog trainer for sure as evidenced by decades of champions.

 Just sayin................

Get and read "Gun Dod" by Richard Walters.  Best book I have read when it comes to the training a dog.  Very easy read and it works......  My WHP was in the field at 3 1/2 months and she alread knew "Come, Stay, Leave it, Sit, Go, Wait" commands.  In my very humble opinion (cause I am no master trainer by any means) now is the time to be training...not coddleing you dog. 

Good Luck

Cheers

I don't know about training background vs his writing background, but Gun Dog worked for me.  I loved the book and dog seems to have taken to his training methods very well.  Keeping in mind you have to take everything with a grain of salt and adapt what you are reading to your own situation and dog. 

I will also have to read the other book mentioned....maybe I can learn a little more.

Earl Crangle also wrote a book of his dog training efforts,he was a very good freind of Wehle as well,Paul long has a book too....................... These guys were at it long before the electronic collar was a glimmer in anyones mind.

  A little something something I learned from an old feller who was an american field AA and shooting dog handler and won a lot of stuff over the years(his training is shown through a man on the net in mexico who has a ton of youtube videos,he trained the guys dogs)......................" The CHEAPEST part of training a dog is the VERY thing people are cheap with.................. Birds,takes em to end up with a birddog,everyone has money for E collars,release traps,tracking devices,automatic backer dogs,when in reality if you spent all the money on birds ...............you need a  checkcord  and the birds.
