MUST READ for Lab lovers !!!!
Attention amateur dog trainers. Going to buy a Lab pup? Buy this book first and start off right. If you don't, you and the pup both loose. Richard Wolters sets the "high water" mark for all other training books and videos combined. You can leave everything else on the shelf. This stuff works. Wolters tailors his methods towards the amateur dog trainer/hunter for real world situations in the field with wild birds. He takes you from the 8th week of the pup's life through his last days on earth. He utilizes facts gathered from dog behaviorists and applies them to the development stages of a pup measured in precise numbers of days. Very easy to read and comprehend.

Game Dog
This is an old book but it is still the best system out there for training labs. Wolters has it together.

Good basic start for a puppy
I liked this book to a cetain extent. I think this is a good book for someone who doesn't know a lot about a hunting dog. It's geared more towards starting with a puppy, but can be used with an older dog. I'd read it before I got the puppy so you know what to expect. It's a little light on specifics, but there are some there. Don't get too caught up with the time line because all dogs are different.

training the HUNTING DOG!...a must for hunters
ive read 6 dog training books in the last month and this is the best and most precise so far...if you want a HUNTING DOG this is the book to use......

Absolutely the Best
I used this book for training my Springer Spaniel. He is my constant companion because I can trust him to behave in all conditions. Why? I attribute it to early training using the methods in the book and good genetics, plus lots of time and love. I have heard dozens of times now that he is the "Best behaved dog" that folks have ever seen. READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU BUY YOUR PUP. Then you'll get the full benefit of both. Follow the methods ad have the "Best trained dog" people have ever seen.
