At 245 pages this is the most detailed guide to raising & training English Springers.
English Springers are energetic, handsome, intelligent, enthusiastic, & extremely loyal. They get along with everybody; they are the gundog of choice for many - & lots of FUN!
They are also easy to train - provided you use the right techniques.
This book has over 50 pages devoted to TRAINING: Housetraining & Crate Training, Obedience Training, Collar & Lead (Leash) Training, Teaching The Recall, & How To Start Gundog Training.

Together they share their advice & experiences throughout the pages of this book.

A very thorough guide. I read this in preparation for being a first-time springer owner, and found Whitwam covered the breed, training, home-life, and dog health with the depth I was looking for. Everything was beautifully expressed and easy to read.
I highly recommend this book to any other prospective springer owners.

We haven’t had a puppy for more than 20 years (adopted rescues) so felt I needed reminders before bringing our ESS puppy home in 3 weeks time. It was an excellent refresher and learned about new stuff available eg vet bed. Good discussion about puppy socialisation period. I’m sure I’ll come back to it when starting some training down the track a bit. Highly recommended 🌟
