In this new book author Joan Bailey shows the gun dog owner how to train hisdog to be a never-fail retriever; to be steady to wing and shot; and to be steady at the blind. She successfully uses scientific knowledge of canine behavior and training techniques that have worked for decades, both here and in Europe.

For gun dog owners who don't like the "ear pinching" way, or the use of electronics to whoa their dog, Bailey has an alternative. In a precise step-by-step method, Bailey promises that you will have a fully trained gun dog in 3 to 4 months.

Bailey, identified as "one of America's great dog people" by Outdoor Life hunting dog editor Larry Mueller, has spent most of her life enjoying the sport of upland bird and waterfowl hunting. Bailey was a field judge with NAVHDA, WPGCA, and the KDK for over 25 years. She was editor of The Gun Dog Supreme for 26 years and received 13 awards from the Dog Writers Association of America.
