Please do not go on to Amazon UK and think this is the price I have set for my book. This is a reseller trying to price my book out of the market. I have been in touch with Amazon and the seller to try to get this removed. Thank you for your patience

What a day it was at the Whistle Workshop! Nine enthusiastic owners and thier dogs joined us. The session was lively and engaging, as we explored effective whistle techniques. The dogs were receptive and responsive, making the workshop a success. Our shared goal of enhancing communication between handler and dog was clearly achieved, hopefully leaving everyone with a sense of accomplishment.
Well done guys.....

In my new book, I dive into the fascinating lives of working gundogs as family pets and companions. Bringing these loyal dogs into your home means understanding their unique needs and adapting them to domestic life. These dogs are known for their intelligence and energy. It's crucial to channel their instincts properly. In the book, I share practical advice on training, exercise, and creating a harmonious home environment. I also explore how these intelligent animals can become beloved family members while still honouring their natural instincts. Whether you're considering a gundog for your family or already living with one, this book offers insights and tips to enrich your journey together.

Reflecting on the evolution of retrievers, it is clear their history is as dynamic as their personalities. These dogs have transitioned from field to family life without losing their keen instincts or gentle dispositions. Originally bred to retrieve game from water and land, they have shown remarkable adaptability. They have moved from the marshlands to our living rooms, becoming cherished pets. Their intelligence and trainability make them excellent hunting companions and loving household members. By looking back at their history and understanding their development, we can ensure they continue to enrich our lives for generations to come. Understanding their lineage helps us appreciate their unique attributes and maintain the qualities that make them special. Whether working in the field or sitting on the couch, they simply just fit into our lives, showing us their versatility and unwavering loyalty.

Training your dog to handle distractions is crucial, especially if you're planning to enter trials or tests. Dogs, like people, can get easily sidetracked. A sudden noise or another dog can throw them off course. I think Jethro and his owner handled this extremely well....
