Mooch. 177 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 It's Joe Irving, and a spaniel training/working friend of mine swears by that book. Quote Link to post
Ben Cross 0 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi Pal Ive been in your position and Ive read alot of training manuals these ones are what helped the most. 1 The Pet gun Dog -Lez Graham 2 the Complete Gundog Training Manual - James Douglas 3 Working Gundogs - Martin Deeley Im not saying Joe Irving arnt good Im saying these ones are better early on. Once you have a grasp on whats needed then read his books Quote Link to post
