Book "The Training of the Hunting Dog"

Fichtlmeier's Hunting Dog Training - Proven and Successful
The legislator and the mandates of animal welfare as well as fair hunting require a usable dog in the practice of hunting. 'Hunting without a dog is nonsense' sums it up in a hunter's wisdom. How the hunting dog becomes a reliable, joyfully working helper is shown here by a widely respected dog expert. Clearly and with a structured approach, he informs about the species-appropriate and animal welfare-compliant training of the dog for all tasks in hunting practice.
