A comprehensive guide to transforming your dog into a valuable wing-shooting companion in the field and at home. Created by Mike Stewart of Wildrose Kennels, the Wildrose Way is a unique, low-force, positive training method that is field-proven for upland and waterfowl gundogs. The training prepares dogs for versatility—any game, any terrain, any destination—and makes them desirable companions for any situation. Now, for the first time, Stewart’s methods are compiled in one indispensable reference book, fully illustrated with photographs and diagrams. Containing chapters on establishing essential behaviors, the core skills of the hunting retriever, and waterdog finishing work, as well as sidebars on such topics as breed selection and effective canine leadership, this step-by-step book is designed specifically for wing-shooters who want to transform their pup into a gentleman’s gundog.

He grew up in the Georgia woods, played football for the New Orleans Saints, spent a few years as a ski bum, put in his time as a Vermont farmer, and eventually sold his farm to take a desk job. Through all this, writer Paul Fersen has never lost his sense of humor or appreciation for a good hunting dog. These are tales of becoming a New Englander while remembering a strange and distant life in the rural South, of building one's own home and raising a family, of finding the best dog ever, of catching the biggest fish with his smallest son, and finding respite in the field with dog and duck. A wonderful collection of stories outdoorsmen and women will laugh along with, in small doses or all at once. Paul Fersen is a longtime staffer for Orvis, and who has written a regular column for Stratton and frequently contributes to Gray's Sporting Journal. He lives in Dorset, Vermont.
