A couple of weeks ago I had a conversation with Robert Milner, the author of Absolutely Positively Gundog Training. I had sent him an email with a few follow up questions after doing an article on his book. He was very gracious and allowed me to ask him these questions over the phone. You can tell Milner is passionate about not only dog training but the science behind it. He’s not willing to settle for doing things because that’s how they’ve always been done. He knows the science and how to put that science into a practical training model. I hope you enjoy the questions and answers.

There are a lot of books about gundog training available and even more on dog training in general. If you start your dog training journey without a plan, you’re going to take a difficult task and make it nearly impossible. Books provide insight on training and can help you formulate your overall training plan.
