Smartwork for Retrievers volume one: Basics and Transition by Evan Graham Detailed easy to follow instructions for retriever training, from puppies through Basics and early-to-mid transition. ILLUSTRATED by the author, this unique training text is designed for your use. It is SPIRAL BOUND so you can leave it open to the section or diagram you are working on without breaking down the binding. LAMINATED COVERS help to protect it from the elements. There are NOTE PAGES with each diagram to help you track your dogs progress. Also included is a comprehensive GLOSSARY OF TERMS to help you to get acquainted with the language of dog training.
REVIEWED AND ENDORSED BY:
The Retriever Journal. See review in this spring's "SPECIAL PUPPIES ISSUE", page 65.
"...an informative book with a nifty design,...Smartwork is filled with the kind of information you'd expect from a retired professional dog trainer...laying down a good philosophy that usually gets glossed over in some books, but something that Evan puts first and foremost in his." ~Jake Smith Managing Editor
Regarding the new SmartFetch DVD's:
"Just finished viewing these training DVDs from Evan Graham. They are excellent. Even though they are designed to tie in with the Smartwork books, I found that they stand-alone very well.
These should be a must for anyone planning on forcing their own dog or even sending a dog off for training. A very big Congrats on these to Evan and his crew." ~ Gordy Weigel pro trainer, Missouri
