Positive Gun Dogs: Clicker Training for Sporting Breeds
   
     
 

At last! The truth about positive gun dog training — revealed!

 

 

 

Dear Friend,

 

Positive Gun Dogs by Jim Barry, Mary Emmen and Susan Smith is the first book on positive methods for sporting dogs published in the United States. If you'd like to learn to train your dog in a systematic, efficient manner, with force-free methods you'll both enjoy and have clear, comprehensive exercises for all stages.

 

Positive Gun Dogs is a book which focuses on methods that have been studied and proven to work under a variety of circumstances -- from the laboratory to the field!  These methods do not require punishment-based training, yet will yield fabulous results. Trainers of wild animals, both in zoo situations and in the wild, have trained for years using these methods with reliable, high-level results.  The world famous trainer, Bob Bailey, has used these methods to train wild dolphins to swim as far as 50 miles away from the training location and return -- reliably! And the authors have successfully applied these proven techniques to all types of gun dogs—pointers, setters, retrievers and spaniels.  You can too!

Here’s what reviewers are saying:

 

I am certain that 'Positive Gun Dogs' will be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in gundogs, and a valuable source of reference to those who are keen to look at a new and kindly way of training an effective and happy hunting companion . . . 'Positive Gun Dogs' takes an exciting and refreshing new look at the training of gundogs as hunting companions. No more 'ear pinching' or 'heeling sticks', but at last a systematic, and effective way of training  your gundog using a clearly set out and effective reward-based training programme.

This book shows you how you yourself can develop keen, reliable, accurate gun dogs by modern methods, using clicker training instead of correction.

The authors are familiar with the demands of the sport, the nature of the dogs involved, and the ins and outs of applied behavioral science as well.

This book brims with crafty applications of learning laws.  The discussions of transitioning to intrinsic reinforcers, generalizing and proofing are among many first rate treatments of topics in this goldmine of a book.  Never preachy in tone, Positive Gun Dogs deals rationally with the motivator choices and presents a clear option for those who would rather not employ pain to train their field dogs.

Since there is so much confusion surrounding our field,

Do NOT buy any book on gundog training (or dog training!)

unless it meets the following criteria:

 

 

A guide to selecting the right breed for the task

How to get your pup off to a great start

Proven techniques to establish basic obedience

Clear, systematic exercises for all gundog tasks

Methods based on the LIMA principle (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive)

 

 

 

You get at least 10 times your money's worth!

 

Positive Gun Dogs will save you time, money and frustration by helping you train your dog in the most efficient way possible! If you were to hire any of the authors of this book to teach you the techniques contained in Positive Gun Dogs, you would pay thousands of dollars! Other gundog training books do not give you the proven techniques which will allow you to assess your dog’s progress and raise your training criteria at exactly the right time, saving you time and frustration!
