STEVE SAYS: I had the opportunity to meet Charlie Jurney at a new product demonstration this
summer at the SportDog Collars offices in Knoxville, Tennessee.
A customer of mine (Hey, Sandy!) recommended that we add his book several months
before I met him , but it slipped through the cracks
around here and I had not made the arrangements to add it to our
product line.
After having a couple of days to see him work dogs and hear his
philosophy on dog training, I felt like "Finished Dog: A Complete Training Manual for the Finished Hunting Retriever" would be a great
addition to our catalog.
I think the thing I enjoyed the most about his book is the way he
credits other trainers when he has adapted their ideas to his training
methods.
There is an open-minded feeling to his book that shows you can always
learn new ideas and techniques to improve the way you train and
interact with your dog.
His book is also written in a very enjoyable question and answer
format, making it one of those dog training books that is hard to put
down. Highly recommended!
