Great for any kind of dog training
I recommend this book for any kind of dog training. I used this book 14 years ago to train my first Search and Rescue dog. Hunting is hunting no matter what you are hunting, we teach them what! The book also helps with different areas like obedience also. I would recommend it to anyone with a dog. I loaned my first book and they didn't give it back and I can't remember who. I like this book so much I got it again.
