“it’s packed with helpful hints
and common sense; follow its instructions and you
will have a dog capable not only of passing The
Gundog Club’s Grade One retriever test, but also an
animal to be proud of”
"you could train almost any breed of gundog with
the advice provided"
"there is plenty here to make you smile"
"sometimes even the best bred puppies show no
interest in retrieving, here you can learn how to
kindle their enthusiasm"

"Passing
Grade One is truly a quality production both in its
presentation and especially its content.
With over 150 pages it is the
most comprehensive guide to the early stages of
training I have ever read and whether or not it is
intended to progress to the training awards scheme
(and I hope many do), just reading and following the
easily understood step-by-step format will be a huge
help to new and/or struggling trainers.
The attention to detail and the
inclusion of a problem solving section is
refreshing, something often missed or washed over in
the more popular publications.
This guide will help focus your
early training in a logical and practical order with
specific goals to aim for at each stage.
Almost everyone would gain
something from reading it"

I received my passing
grade 1 book a couple of days ago, am pleasantly
surprised very easy read and what makes it even
better is the step by step guidelines including
problems covered that may arise when training your
gundog.
I am impressed and can't wait to get on with passing
grade 1!

"The Gundog Clubs
first training guide "PASSING GRADE ONE - Beginner
Retriever" is a 150 page manual designed to give any
trainer the best start with his or her dog. The
style of writing gives you the essential information
you require without the waffle you so often get in
gundog/dog training books. All the important
information is readily to hand yet delivered in such
a way that it shouldn't overwhelm a beginner but
covers enough ground that it will fill in gaps or
jog the memory of a more experienced trainer
starting out with a new pup.
Step by step the techniques required to teach your
dog to heel, sit to the whistle, retrieve, stay and
recall are all covered.
A comprehensive troubleshooting section is also
included that should help solve most of the problems
new trainers encounter. Details on how to teach the
clicker retrieve are included for dogs that aren't
natural retrievers or who need to have aspects of
the retrieve polished. Detailed instructions are
given for dealing with a dog that has a poor recall.
The troubleshooting section has no magical
shortcuts, it does however give suggestions for
solving the problem and makes it clear that it will
take time to resolve problems.
I am convinced that if someone takes the time to
systematically work through all the exercises they
will have a dog that will breeze through the grade
one test and more importantly they will have laid
very solid foundations for both themselves and their
dogs. I only wish I had this book to hand when I
started, it would have saved me so much time
If this work sets the tone for all the future Gundog
Club publications, then I can say without hesitation
that they cannot fail to increase the skills of both
the handlers and dogs that go through the scheme"
