Synopsis: Created by Mike Stewart of Wildrose Kennels, The Wildrose Way is a unique, positive training method that is field-proven for upland and waterfowl gundogs. It is applicable for retrieving, flushing, and pointing gundogs that are destined to become sporting companions for wingshooters. What makes this method unique is that it is designed specifically for dogs to complement a familys sporting lifestyle. The training prepares dogs for versatility - any game, any terrain, any destination - and makes them desirable companions not only in the field, but at home and in public as well. This volume contains never-before-published training methods specifically designed for the needs of wingshooters. The techniques are low-force, positive rather than negative, and are designed to bring out the natural abilities of the dog while applying appropriate controls. Fully illustrated with photos and useful diagrams, the book takes you step-by-step from your first thought of getting a dog to the ultimate reward of having a true gentlemens gundog, including chapters on establishing essential behaviors, core skills of the hunting retriever, and waterdog finishing work. Sporting Dog and Retriever Training the Wildrose Way is a comprehensive reference guide to transforming your pup into a gentlemans gundog.
