If, btw, you're serious and not trolling, you'll soon find most British style trainers, like Stewart and Milner, get hammered on these boards.

What do you recommend as a good traing either book or DVD for traing a duck dog? I was just looking though some books and came upon it and figured I would ask about it.

He still uses these methods and has an awesome retriever who is likely about to enter his last season before retirement. he has helped me a little but with my dog who is now 6 months old without using a shock collar. I love it bc i do not like the idea of a shock collar at all and do not plan to compete in trials. Just want my dog to be a hunting buddy that fetches ducks. The rest is for show.

I haven't even tried one bit yet, so have no clue if it works or not. But I find myself agreeing with darn near everything he says. I'm of the mind that if I like what someone says, I'll be more inclined to try a little harder, and look in the mirror more often if something goes awry.
I'll let you know how it's working out when I start.

I'm a poor person to ask for a single guide, as I've borrowed from several but found none I would want to follow too closely. Hopefully, folks who've been in your shoes more recently will be along with suggestions.
