Dog Training with Mr Perks
Ref: B20
What Mr Perks doesn't know about training dogs could fill a book....and here it is. Mr Perks is sporting cartoonist Bryn Parry's invention and has been a regular feature of the Gun Dog section of The Shooting Gazette for years. So popular has Mr Perks' advice been that he has decided to impart some of his vast wisdom, knowledge and skill in book form.
In this tome, Mr Perks, sometimes with the help of the formidable Mrs Perks, takes us through the history of the dog, some sporting breeds and then both basic and advanced gundog training. Mr Perks is assisted by several dogs in this task, all unnamed and all very much less important than Mr Perks who considers himself to be the country's leading authority on the subject of dog training...sadly for him, the dogs do not agree.
Dog Training with Mr Perks contains all you will ever need to turn your dog into a Field Trial Champion. There are over a hundred witty cartoons of dogs totally ignoring their trainer and anyone who has ever been humiliated by man's most disobedient friend will love this book.

Training a young Pointer
Ref: B46
Joseph Healy's first working dog was ten weeks old when he acquired her but he had no idea how to train her. Conflicting advice from fellow dog owners and books that delved in-depth into the aspects of training an older dog led him to seek his own path. Healy shares his personal story of raising his pointer through their third hunting season, recording the training of his dog, first by himself and then with a professional trainer. Entertaining and informative, a great read for all who want to own and train a working dog.
