Product Description
Product Description
The Pet Gundog has been written for all those dog owners, who like me, have a gundog breed sharing their home. Introducing you to the psychology of the dog, common sense behaviour advice is given on how to achieve harmony in your mixed-species pack. Basic training and good manners are covered, after all, who wants to live with a bolshie, bad mannered gundog? A toe-dipping foray into the world of shooting gives you an insight into what your dog has been bred for. The book then covers how to exploit your gundog's innate behaviour so that walks become a pleasure, your home stays intact and you have a happy, contented and fulfilled pet gundog. "This is one of the most refreshing books on dog training that I have read for many years. This is a book about practical training with an immense and clear description of the underlying behaviour within our pet dogs and how we can utilise those intrinsic drives to enhance the training of our dogs. This book should be a prerequisite for dog owners to read - is not just of use for those who own Gundog breeds, but for all dog owners. The author has an informal and empathetic style of writing that leaves the reader not only with factual, common sense good solid dog training, but amusing anecdotes and helpful explanations throughout which results in leaving the reader feeling as if they know the author personally. So good do I believe this book to be, I recommended it to numerous clients before its publication!" Ross McCarthy MBIPDT MCFBA "Lez is a treasure trove of common-sense and practical methods for training all breeds of dogs - it's the best book of the year" Colin C Tennant Chairman of the Canine & Feline Behaviour Association http://www.thepetgundog.co.uk

Format:Paperback
I am in the process of reading up again prior to getting a second 'pet' gun dog.
This is a new title added to my ever expanding collection and stands out as one of my must re-read books. It is by far one of the easiest to understand, and quite challenging in the light it sheds on dogs behaviour. I particularly like the way there runs a comparable theme through the book of how families function, both canine and human, very thought provoking in the remarkable similarities.
Whilst it may appeal to 'gun dog' pet owners by it's title, it really has equal value for a 'non gun dog' type breed if you want to understand more about your dog.
Great read, excellent value with pictures demonstrating the exercises.

I felt the item was fairly expensive as a paperback, however it is very informative and has been an asset during gndog training. would recommend to anyone who has a Gundog as a pet as sensibly written.

I cannot recommend this book strongly enough.
I read from cover to cover enthralled with the canine phycology and gripped by the easy at which Lez is able to demonstrate the training techniques required to establish a steady, well behaved member of your family. Not only a fascinating read but a must have!
