Training Spaniels – Joe Irving

Information

Training Spaniels – Joe Irving 

A step-by-step guide for the novice trainer. Written by a highly-experienced gundog trainer, Joe Irving, this book is refreshingly clear as a guide to possessing a first-class gundog. As an authority who can diagnose the trainer’s problems, with the same sympathy had for the dog, this step-by-step guide contains information on the different stages of training, launchers and advanced dummy work, advanced field technique, field trials, test and more. You will even learn how to obviate defects of behaviour in your dog, in order to remedy them when they occur.

THE AUTHOR
Joe Irving has been training gundogs since acquiring his first Springer Spaniel in 1963. Amongst the awards he has won is the coveted McNeill Professional Spaniel Handler’s Cup.

Review:
“A fantastic book. Well written in an easy to follow, step by step (well month by month) guide. Having never owned a spaniel & having never trained a dog this book takes you through from the absolute basics to areas of training I don’t think I’d need unless competing in FT’s.” Mr. N.
