Product Description

Pointing Labrador retrievers are rapidly becoming a very popular sporting breed. Just as comfortable sitting patiently in a duck blind as they are coursing through upland fields, pointing Labradors are now known as all-around bird dogs. This book outlines everything that needs to be done, from choosing the right puppy and the basics of obedience, to training a top-notch pointing Labrador. Photographs complement the thorough descriptions of training techniques, and topics as varied as how dogs really perceive the world to which drills and routines are productive are explained.

Customer Reviews

Disapointment in the publisher
We have ordered this book twice since April of 2007. Both times the publisher and Amazon have canceled our order due to the book not being available after waiting approximately 8 weeks for delivery. It's truly been a disapointment. Maybe we will get the book before our dog turns 10! He's currently 10 months old and fortunately with a very good trainer right now. The book came highly reccommended by the trainer, we are just unable to obtain it. Thanks for nothing!

Buy This Book!
Buy and read this book if you want to train and hunt your new lab puppy. It is very informative and gives a great idea of the overall training process. It may be the only book you need to help you get your dog to point, retrieve, and be an all around joy to own.

The Pointing Labrador
A great book for instruction on any type of dog training and understanding a dogs thought process. Some parts are redundant, which the author may intend to drive the point home. A very easy read!
