Summary: A blessing for the aspiring retriever trainer
Comment: I've corresponded with Amy Dahl regarding retriever training in detail over several years. We've discussed principles, techniques, and experiences. The very fine book offered by Amy and her husband John represents all that I would expect from first-rate dog people.
Anyone getting into retriever training can propel his or her knowledge base and general understanding of dog behavior, as well as learning how to effectively guide it, through the information provided in the 10-minute Retriever. Further, it must be said that their approach is humane, and is directed toward the fair and empathetic treatment of dogs, using techniques proven in the field over considerable time and through extensive experience.
I have recommended it to many trainers, and will continue to do so.

Summary: Every retriever puppy should come with this book
Comment: The Dahls have written a training book that no retriever owner should be without! Whether your aim is a hunting partner, hunt test or field trial competitor, or even if you're a novice and want to train your dog for what it was bred for, help is here.
Time is the thing most of us lack, so here is a program everyone can use, from professional to amateur, to train his or her own dog in easy increments spending only 10 minutes a day. The Dahls are professionals, and they've trained, shown, competed and hunted with all the retriever breeds. But they've presented their information in a very readable format, interspersed with real-life tales of actual dogs.
The 10-Minute Retriever is highly readable (you'll devour it in one or two sittings) but also well-organized complete with a glossary and index to refer to. I can't say enough good things about it, and my fellow retriever owners who've read it all agree.

Summary: One of the best!
Comment: This book offers the clearest, most detailed description of not only the HOW of basic training of retrievers, but the WHY behind the techniques and the progression.
Many dog training books offer "cookbook" instructions for training a dog, but dogs are living beings, not souffle's, and often times do not follow the manual! An underlying knowledge of WHY the trainer is performing each training step is key to understanding why each step needs to be done correctly, not rushed, and not completed until the dog understands what is being asked. This book offers several different techniques and methods for working a dog through each step, and for dealing with things dogs will do when they don't "follow" the book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone starting out training their first retriever. It's clarity and conciseness are what every person needs when starting out training dogs to retrieve. I have given this book to several friends as gifts, and recommend it personally to many.
