Over the past 20 years, Bill Tarrant was the "top dog" of gun dog writers. He was the gun dog columnist for Field & Stream magazine, the author of ten books on dogs, and an outspoken advocate in favor of training techniques accentuating kindness to animals. In Gun Dog Training: New Strategies from Today's Top Trainers, Tarrant profiles twenty of the top trainers in the United States, chronicling their special styles as he shares his own experiences. The trainers highlighted build on the dog's natural hunting instincts, and have learned how to use dogs to train other dogs. They train with intimacy not intimidation. Their training techniques are positive, upbeat, and fun-and are applicable to all types of hunting dogs for upland game and waterfowl hunting. No gun dog enthusiast's library is complete without a copy of Gun Dog Training: New Strategies from Today's Top Trainers. It is an essential reference, a virtual cornucopia of helpful tips and techniques from the most experienced trainers in the field. Also recommended: Gun Dogs (Falk), Love of Labs, Love of Goldens.
