From the preface:

The Brittany: Amateurs Training with Professionals will enable amateur pointing dog trainers to train hunting dogs that they will be proud of and field trial dogs that will win. While emphasis is on the Brittany, this book will help people who train pointing dogs become better trainers...

This book has been more than ten years in the making. Soon after acquiring her Brittany, Martha Greenlee began going to field trials - observing professional dog trainers and discussing their teaching methods with them. She listened, took notes, went home and began using this information to train her dogs for hunting and field trialing. Martha soon learned that some training methods worked better for her Brittanys than others.

At about the same time that Martha was training her first Brittany, Dave Webb was training his new Brittany pup. After reviewing all the extant publications on training pointing dogs, he found that most of the reference books for training pointing dogs were written by or about professionals who trained breeds other than the Brittany.

This book is a must for the amateur pointing dog trainer and particularly the amateur Brittany trainer. The authors assume nothing of the extent of the readers experience so each section covers each subject carefully with illustrations where needed.
