Retriever Puppy Training presents a program of basic training that will turn young retrievers into efficient and enthusiastic hunting companions. A step-by-step teaching schedule provides the continuity so important to fostering a puppy’s confidence. A favorite with people starting out with their first retriever or those who want to raise a hunting companion from puppyhood, the program is equally effective with young dogs starting beyond that age. Experienced handlers and those planning to trial or hunt test their dogs will also find it helpful. The book covers puppy selection, puppy personality types, basic house manners, and a progressive retriever training program that includes water retrieves, blinds, and marks. When your pup has completed this program, he will be ready to hunt. You will have worked out of all the excuses that retrievers try to use, and you will have a well-mannered companion.

"The third edition of Canine Reproduction: The Breeder's Guide is a wonderful tool for novices as well as experienced breeders who wish to delve into the world of canine reproduction. It can also easily serve as a powerful tool for veterinarians with an interest in reproductive medicine and as such should be included as an excellent quick reference. The author is a veterinarian with over 40 years of experience with dogs who does an excellent job of discussing all aspects of canine reproduction in a straightforward and simplified manner using language and terms that are appropriate for breeders or laypersons while also providing medical information and scientific data in a practical and engaging format for veterinarians...Perhaps most endearing for readers is the author's ability to provide the material with both humility and humor. This book is certain to be a valuable reference for both breeders and veterinarians and should be part of their libraries, where it will be used time and again."

Rally Obedience Courses were changed by the American Kennel Club in the fall of 2017, adding Masters Courses and altering specifications for some of the other classes. This book was created for exhibitors, trainers, and judges to be used for training or setting up competition events, and also serve as helpful guides for designing your own courses. Bold and italic bold wording shows the principal parts of each exercise. If these portions are not done correctly, it is scored as an Incorrect Performance or IP for minus 10 points. This is when exhibitors may want to do a retry. Using this book will help improve exhibitor scores and provide practice courses. Rally judges and trainers will find it to be an invaluable aid. The author, Janice Dearth, is an accredited judge who has also competed in and taught Rally Obedience.
