    Arrived quickly and packaged carefully in a bubble mailer. Book is in better condition than anticipated and described. I'm very pleased with my purchase as it has added to my collection of books to preserve the erasing of history, especially the darker more negative sides. Great value, great seller.

    GREAT READ

    Received in a timely manner. Book is very well kept and looks very new even though previously read. Highly recommended from another dog lover and I think all his books are a great purchase.

  • Perfect Title

    Richard Wolters has a great grip on what it takes to train dogs. My Labrador retriever was hunting ducks perfectly at 10 mo old. I used his book Water Dog for that training.

  • Great book from the master of training

    I’ve used his training methods on literally a dozen dogs now. This one is tailored to a dog that is good for your family and stays in the house. I can’t recommend his books enough and if he was alive today, would be writing him and thanking him for his work.

    Well used for but cared for this book is especially helpful. Instructing the reader how to immediately begin training their puppy. The cover intact and looking good. This book is worth every penny!

  • The right stuff

    Wolters is great. I’ve used gundog for a couple pups with wonderful lifetime success. His books help make a pup a better friend.
