Joseph Healy's first working dog was ten weeks old when he acquired her but he had no idea how to train her. Conflicting advice from fellow dog owners and books that delved in-depth into the aspects of training an older dog led him to seek his own path. Healy shares his personal story of raising his pointer through their third hunting season, recording the training of his dog, first by himself and then with a professional trainer. Entertaining and informative, a great read for all who want to own and train a working dog.
