Milner debunks a number of groundless myths and counter-productive training practices that proliferate in today’s sporting dog culture. A big divide exists today in the gundog sector in America.

Milner cites many examples of recent dog research that upend traditional training theories. The simplicity of the training model will be a pleasant surprise to many new trainers. Most importantly, Milner’s training model is fun for the trainer and the dog.
