Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-03 00:00:00 Nick Mutascio Great book. Very easy read. Some points/instructions he gives need clarification, but I hope to find that clarification via youtube videos.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-13 00:00:00 Julia Cole Interesting book for sure. Tom Dokken is an excellent trainer and he certainly knows how to bring his knowledge of Retriever training straight to the reader. I only gave the book three stars because I do not agree with all of Tom's methods with training especially crate training. We had every intention of training our Pointer rescue by Tom's method's but Penny became more of a family pet than a working retriever and she is absolutely spoiled with table scraps and bed time (no crate). I will say though that I have used a few of Tom's methods recently on my two Great Dane pups in the areas of mouthy pup, and coming when called. Overall not a bad reference book and definitely a good read for those who are just starting to Retriever train.
