This book has so many great drills. I love how it is laid out with a purpose of the drill, drawings, what to do if it's not working, etc. Every waterfowl handler should get this, especially dogs that do hunt tests!

Building a Retriever is an excellent source for expanding traning drills while providing a cLear explanation.
I train weekly with several friends and their gun dogs of various breeds. All enthusiastic waterfowl hunters and several of us handle our dogs guiding hunts during the upland season.
Thanks for an excellent training resource.
Building a Retriever - Drills and More by Carol F. Cassity is a valuable source of information to us help train and continue to improve our gun dogs.

I love how the drills are ranked beginning, moderate, and advanced. And also ranked by how many helpers you need to do the drill. I'm a rookie retriever trainer, many times working by myself; so I can focus on the drills that are for my level and I can do by myself. Also the explanations of the early drills are understandable.

I love the drills. They are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The only thing I would change is I wish they were sequenced to #1, #2, etc. You can sort of figure that out, but you have to really dig all the way through the book.
