Books and DVD

Post by LokiandGunnar » Wed Jan 13, 2010 5:55 pm

Getting my second pup soon and trained my first lab using the Richard Wolters Game Dog method and it worked well.

I am looking for a more structured plan this time as Game Dog isn't as structured as I wanted. What do you suggest? I will not be training with a collar.

It's a lab.

Look into Evan Graham's SmartWork system. It's nothing if not structured.

Just curious by what you meant by "It's a lab." I chuckled when I read it.

LOL :oops: It is because I had made a reply suggesting a book that dealt with training pointing dogs. Obviously I had read the post too quickly. The "It's a lab" was Greg pointing out my mistake. :oops:

Okay, thanks. SmartWork looks involved but good. I just might go to one of his seminars in the spring.

I have the SmartFetch DVD. I thought it was very well done.

Eons ago, when I had a lab, I used "Training Retrievers To Handle" by DL and Anne Walters. I thought a lot of it at the time, but can't remember more than that.

If I was only going to hunt and not do tests, etc., would I need the Transitions DVD's or is up to the Smart Fetch all I really need?
