Through gentle training methods learned from Ray Hunt--the original
"horse whisperer"--Robert Milner shows retriever owners how to train the
hunting retriever by using its own natural tendencies instead of force.
Supplemented with the latest scientific research on how dogs learn,
Milner's easy step-by-step training regimen uses positive reinforcement
to create the perfect hunting and at-home companion. There is no better
training method for the hunter who wants a calm, steady, and obedient
retriever. Milner, who has been training retrievers professionally for
more than thirty years, reverses the trend of difficult dogs and
difficult training methods and offers a system every hunter can easily
understand and follow.
