I know this is not strictly deer dog related but I thought you gents may be able to point me in the right direction. Regardless of what you plan to do with your pet gundog puppy, from lying at your feet in front of the telly or taking him shooting, the basics are the basics are the basics; and the basics apply whether that’s a Springer Spaniel, a German Short-Haired Pointer or a Labrador. This book, the long-awaited new gundog training book from best selling author Joe Irving, reveals the techniques used by the professional trainers and enables the individual gundog owner to utilise them for their own training programme.
