Dick Wolter's previous books Gun Dog and Water Dog revolutionized the accepted techniques of training pointers and retrievers. Today they far outsell any other books in their fields. Now once again this innovative thinker has developed a quicker and more efficient system of do-it-yourself retriever training, designed expressly for the bird hunter.

Game Dog is the first book developed exclusively to training a dog for hunting both upland birds and waterfowl. If this concise new method is followed, you can be sure of having a skilled hunting retriever by the time your dog is one year old.

Dick Wolter's step-by-step instructions are generously illustrated with sequence photographs of his own dogs in training. His method, based on scientific discoveries in dog psychology, uses almost no force. Following a clear timetable, week by week, Wolters gives complete directions for synchronizing your dog's training with its natural development. It takes only a short training session a day to produce a versatile retriever skilled not only at bringing in game but also in flushing upland birds.

Wolter's method saves many months of time and labor by eliminating unnecessary steps that are used by field trialers but that are not needed by the hunter. At the same time, he has included many valuable instructions for training the hunting dog that have never been published before.

An extra bonus is a full discussion of the new Hunting Retriever Stakes, in which dogs and their handlers vie for championship points under actual hunting conditions. An appendix contains the complete official rules for competition in these popular events.

Here, then, is a book that every hunter with a dog will find invaluable. And what's more, it's great fun to read."
