George Hickox: legendary bird dog trainer, trialer, hunter on what dogs really want and why

Break out a pen and paper and get ready to take copious notes. You will learn something. Trainer/handlers of the winningest field trial dog in history, George has been helping dogs excel in the field for decades. Author, video teacher, writer, hunter, his approach to dogs' learning abilities is built on a foundation of insights and perspective. We'll go from big-picture stuff like what truly motivates a dog (not what you think), to practical ways to steady a dog (again, not what you think). Whether you own a flusher or pointer, George has recommendations that will alter your thought process about dog training. Think you're using your e-collar right? Think again. Think your dog wants to please you? Uh-uh. "Fix it" offers a hack for those having trouble getting a young dog to "hold" on a retrieve ... we cover some of the survey issues you said were important from how to save our sport to how many of you spoil your dog during the holidays, and you have a chance to win great prizes in the Fur Feathers Friends initiative if you know the Word of the Week.
