Greatest Lab Training book ever!
My entire family loves Labs, but--as most people who own Labs know--this breed requires an iron hand in a velvet glove when it comes to training, whether you want a housepet or a hunting dog. I originally purchased this book new from a bookstore in 1965 and have used it to train every Lab puppy to cross my threshold since then (five in all). The last Lab we owned came to live with us when she was 13 weeks old. She'd lived with a littermate until then, and had some habits (like excessive barking) I'd never encountered in my six-week old puppies. Since she grew to be a very large Lab (90 pounds of solid muscle), it's a good thing I had "Water Dog." Like most Labs, she was eager to please and within three weeks we'd cured the barking and she was obeying the commands: Sit, Stay, Come and Down. She became a beloved housepet and was my youngest child's most faithful companion for more than 12 years. Over the first six months, this wonderful Lab learned an impressive variety of commands, including "Wait, Hide, Seek, Back, Shake and Over." I credit "Water Dog" with creating such an absolute joy out of a Lab who could easily have become a problem dog. If you own a Lab (or any large breed, in my opinion), do yourself and the dog a favor and get your hands on this book. When the Lab I mentioned above passed away two years ago. I still miss her. I loaned my original copy of the book to my married son who had just been gifted with a Lab puppy. I ordered this second copy for my son-in-law who also owns a puppy from the same litter. If I ever own another Lab, I'll buy another copy of Water Dog for my own use again.Read full review

I bought this book years ago to train my first Lab and gave it to a youngster to have to train his dog. I highly recommend this book to anyone that has intentions on hunting your dog. It WORKS!!!

This book will "Train" the Lab owner then the Lab.
I purchased this book to brush up on my training techniques. I've trained two Labs in the past and have been without a dog for about six years now. My last dogs were great to hunt with but after reading this book I realize how much I was missing. This without doubt, is the go to book for training your Lab to hunt waterfowl, it is difficult to put it down once you begin turning the pages. I can't wait for my new friend and hunting companion to arrive and to put the principles gathered from this publication to the test. Thank you, Richard Wolters, for taking the time to "Train" me.

Best dog training book.
I have used the book Water dog to train 4 labs. It is unbelievable how easy it is using this book. It really brings out their intelligence and their need to please. The book even has humor. I have also trained rottweilers and German shepherds using the methods in this book.

fast easy simple
Just follow chapter to chapter. I found that do one chapter at a time and do not move on until you finish the chapter and can preform it perfect then go back and do every chapter before. So do chapter 1 perfect then do chapter 2 perfect, do not go to chapter 3 until your dog can do 1 & 2 perfect. So it goes 1, 1 & 2, 1&2&3, 1&2&3&4 ext. ext all the way through the book. I used the book i took from a friend a few years ago and i had a junior hunter lab at the age of 11 months. It works
