From Sit to Gundog

From Sit to Gundog is a wonderful book. Steve Reider's comfortable prose, practical wisdom, and dog-training expertise guides the reader along a rich and colorful journey that addresses virtually every key step of dog ownership, basic discipline, and hunt training. It is informative and fun to read and weaves a masterfully descriptive narrative with an attractive collection of corresponding photographs of the dogs, tools, and methods used to prepare competent bird hunting dogs and responsive family dogs. From Sit to Gundog is a book for anyone who loves dogs and appreciates the indelible bond that can flourish between a well-trained dog and a loving human companion.

Over Left , Over Right and Back TOP picture shows the over left and over right and the back. As the dog is sitting in front of you remember that your over left is sending your dog to his right and your over right is sending your dog to his left. The back is shown in the center of the three photos. The back hand signal is pushing your arm out and slightly upward with you wrist bent and the palm of your hand facing your dog as illustrated. The whistle command for over left or over right would be the hand signal and two peeps on the whistle. BOTTOM CENTER shows the hand signal for the lay down command, which is using one word "down".
