 Old but still correct June 8, 2007
Mr. Wolters was really the first to strongly urge that puppies should start being trained at a very early age. What stands out about this old book is the emphasis on common sense. Short training lessons for puppies and consistency in how the owner trains and what he/she expects from the dog. I've used this book several times in the past and think it's just as good now as it was in the early '60's.

classic dog training January 3, 2007

This book is easy to read and contains a ton of great information about dog training. Be forewarned, that if you plan on using a training collar you should get a book that covers those basics as well since this book was written before that training tool became available.
This is one of his later books and as such contains improvements in technique and his writing style. This is _the book_ if you're training a retriever. His methods for teaching a dog to do blind retrieves are a little logistically difficult and I'd suggest not using them unless you have the resources nearby.

This book is an excellent guide for training Labs. It was recommended by my veterinarian as a gentle, yet effective training guide for Labradors. I highly recommend it.

On the advice of a friend, I purchased this book and used it to train my black lab pup as a hunting dog. The results were incredible. I had the most wonderful dog and hunting companion for many years.Basically, the book trains your retriever w/o dog treats and involves spending 15 min a day rain or shine with your dog.
What else can I say, it's easy and works. Even if you're not going hunting this is a wonderful dog training book.
