In Professional Gundog Training, best-selling author Joe Irving reveals the techniques used by the top trainers and shows how they can be used by the individual handler in their own training programme.


Written in a straightforward A to Z format, the author covers all aspects of training. He also gives advice on field trials, breeding and general care and management of gundogs.


At the start of the book the author details a step-by-step training schedule and by following this the reader can plan their dog's training and check that the dog is developing as it should be.


The text is accompanied by line drawings and photographs all of which amplify the various points made by the author. With its wealth of sound, practical advice based on forty years' experience of training gundogs, Joe Irving's book will be of benefit to both the new trainer and to those who are more experienced.

Joe Irving, winner of the prestigious McNeil Professional Handlers' Cup, was the author of a number of gundog training books including the classic titles 'Training Spaniels' and 'Gundogs; Their Learning Chain' (both published by Quiller Publishing). He was training gundogs since acquiring his first Springer Spaniel in 1963. A former child psychiatrist, he discovered that his psychiatric training gave a unique perspective to gundog training. He used this method to great success as a professional trainer.
