Whether you're an avid gun dog enthusiast or the owner of a companion dog, this book is a must read. The book takes readers on the exciting adventure of building a special bond with their dogs through working together as a team. If you don't own a dog and are thinking about getting a puppy, this book will help you to make the right decision about acquiring the puppy that will match your needs. The book will help you to build a strong relationship with your canine partner based on mutual respect, trust, sound training principles and the use of clear communication. The book contains an abundance of information related to proper dog handling, using body language that enhances the human-canine relationship and the qualities of a good trainer.

Martin Deeley is a world renowned canine behavioral expert and dog trainer who has many years experience not only in training dogs and their owners, but also in preparing other dog trainers for their profession. The book is written in a style that makes the concepts that are introduced easy to understand, and there are many beautiful pictures illustrating the principles as they are explained. As a canine training professional, I found the book to be extremely beneficial, and I would highly recommend it to both dog owners seeking a valuable training resource and to those working professionally in the canine training arena. Whatever your training needs or training background, this book is very inspiring and will open up a whole new world to you.

There are SOOO many instructional books about dog training on the market it can be a bit overwhelming trying to find one that you can "use". I had heard of Martin through friends and purchased "Working Gundogs" based on the amount of positive comments every one of these friends gave me about his dog knowledge and ability to change not only dogs...but their owners.

That said, "WORKING GUNDOGS" is....the finest dog training book I have ever read!! It provides a straight forward, practical and real world approach to dog training. Not only is the instruction easy to understand, but the added photos and diagrams simply help you understand how to implement what Martin is explaining in the book.
If you want to own a great dog...and need a guidebook to help you figure out how to train one....here is your "bible".
Do yourself a favor....order the book. He made a believer out of me...and I am so grateful for the impact his wisdom has had on my lab Kate....and on me as a dog owner. Hopefully he will have more books to come! Buy this book...you won't regert it.
