It also has the information for which amateur retriever trainers are clamoring: how to force fetch, how to set up tests in the field, and how to use an electric collar humanely and effectively. The emphasis of their training method is on obtaining necessary control and good manners while maximizing the dog s enthusiasm for its work by establishing training situations where the dog desires to cooperate. Primary importance is placed on developing and enhancing the desire to retrieve, from early puppyhood onward. The method presented provides a solid foundation to the dog and owner continuing to advance retrieve training (blind retrieves and competition). Concepts and methods are illustrated with true dog stories. Differences between the major breeds are described and adaptations are given for the different breed personalities. John and Amy Dahl have over 30 years of retriever training experience between them. They have won numerous field-trials, five State Gun Dog Championships and other informal competitions, handled six dogs to their Field Championships, and trained others who were owner-handled to their titles, including two Chesapeakes and two Dual Champions.

Where you can exercise your dog is limited, and maneuvering a dog through city streets and across busy roadways is often hazardous.

In this book, Cis Frankel, an urban dog trainer best known for training Oprah Winfrey's cocker spaniel, teaches owners what is proper dog etiquette in urban areas and explains how to deal with the specific difficulties of training and living with a dog in the city. Believing that the best city dog is a well-trained dog.

This one-of-a-kind book shows how to get the most out of your dog while living in the city, and how to get the most out of the city for your dog.

Dogs Are Stupid Book
Harsh words, but often proved true. They may be amiable, loyal, forgiving, ready to defend our domains against all threats - but, well, they still aren't the brightest creatures on the planet. Regardless of our reprimands, they still obsess over other dogs' excrement, eat and roll in horse manure and rotting carcasses, quake at the sound of thunder, drink out of toilets, eat garbage and then throw up, and perform demeaning pet tricks for measly Milkbones. Their cheerful personality has everything to do with their being blissfully ignorant, which explains why we're so drawn to them. They do all sorts of stupid things and yet never get embarrassed or feel ashamed. We should be so lucky. And, the fact is, dogs are an awful lot like people. This book takes an irreverent look at dogs' behavior and at the often ridiculous conduct of their owners. From Fido being dressed up in baby clothes, having his own birthday cake or being carried on a ''walk'', to dogs incessantly smelling each others' behinds, barking at squirrels they can't reach, or running away from a tom cat, Bill Buckley photographs and comments on them all. The book surmises that dogs can't seem to stop repeating the same behavior that brings them nothing but trouble, while their owners have no such excuse. Despite dogs' simple-mindedness, however, this book is still a tribute to man's best friend, if a bit underhanded.

Cold Noses And Warm Hearts Book
When originally published in 1959, this marvelous collection of dog stories compiled by the late humorist Corey Ford was an immediate bestseller. For his edition, Ford selected pieces written by his friends and contemporaries whose names appeared on the mastheads of The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Life, and Colliers. The names read like a Who's Who of humor: Thurber, Benchley. Wodehouse, White, Woollcott, Marquis. Ford also provided balance with stories from Steinbeck, Lardner, Lawrence and others, including his own superbly poignant, classic short, ''The Road to Tinkhamtown,'' presented here in its original version. Laurie Morrow, in this revised collection, has retained these writers and authors while omitting those whose work didn't ''travel as exceedingly well through time.'' In their place she includes engaging stories of a more serious bent by both famed and newer writers. These focus on working dogs that are also companions and helpmates. All the stories in Cold Noses and Warm Hearts share the same theme, whether underscored by humor or deep emotion: the strong, enigmatic bond between dog and master.

British Training Methods: American Retrievers Book
There has long been a disconnect between the retriever training methods in the United Kingdom and in North America. British Retriever Trials are primarily a test of the dog s skill as a game finder, while American Field Trials are a test of the handling techniques of the owner. The Brits teach their dogs to find every bird, while American handlers are training for an event in which tracking cripples plays no part. The British manner, for many American and Canadian hunters, makes more sense to them on a day-to-day basis because its aim is to produce a finished gun dog who is steady, quiet, and reliable in the field. Vic Barlow is the UK Correspondent for The Retriever Journal, but he is in the States more than he is at home. And there s a good reason for it: He keeps getting called back by people who appreciate the way he trains people to turn dogs into steady, reliable, and companionable field performers. Barlow s methods are built on one very important precept: What does the dog really need to know to be a good performer for the gun? Everything else, as they say, is elaboration. His methods are built on common sense because they train for the situations your dog will see in the field or marsh, not for a once-in-a-lifetime blind quad on 300-yard ducks. For those who are brave enough to take ''the path less traveled,'' the rewards for both owner and dog will be a revelation.

This humorous book matches color photos with all the witty wisdom of this very logical way of thinking, including the facts that cats forgive all mistakes, don't pick fights, have lots of hair, don't understand the word ''ego'', listen, don't channel surf, and love taking long walks.
