HUP!: Training Flushing Spaniels The American Way

Good book, needs needs video update.

Thought I had a smart dog, unfortunately he would prefer to physically digest it rather than mentally digest it. I may have better luck if they had a large print version.

A lot of good information, the way the book was laid out wasn't for me. More geared towards a retired/full time hunter or someone in tests or trials. Not the weekend warrior

Great for new dog trainers. Step by step instructions. Provides a lot of background information and lessons learned by the author. I used this book and program to train a springer spaniel for both upland and waterfowl work. She is currently 10 months old and has been successful for first year hunting. Pup has solid marked water retrieves, steady in the duck boat in all conditions and success on wild pheasants. I can’t recommend this book enough.

Great book for training flushing spaniels to shoot quail.

I began training English Cocker Spaniels in the field some 14 yrs ago. A friend turned me onto this book and it has become my bible for training flushing spaniels. It is very common sense an even if you have never trained a spaniel before it is easy to follow. It also has a wonderful section on each breed which is of great help to those wanting to choose a spaniel hunting companion. Jim Spencer has made it easy for anyone to train a hunting companion in the field. Thanks Jim.

Jim Spencer covers all areas of spaniel training in a logical and understandable way. His methods and techniques make sense and can be accomplished by novice and experienced trainers. Whether one looks for a good hunting companion spaniel or a potential field trial champion, this book presents all aspects of training a spaniel to become an excellent gun dog. In addition to specific spaniel training methods, Jim covers general retrieving and spaniel breed history which make the book a must for any spaniel fancier's collection.

Good content. Horrible photographs
