From the author:
Water Work, Water Play is a
detailed training manual for Newfoundland water rescue work, based on
the water rescue exercises devised by the Newfoundland Club of
America. The book clearly and completely describes how to train your
Newfoundland for successful water competition, taking you step by step
through the training process, and then further, through proofing for
success. It also has extensive chapters on puppy training, introducing
the dog to water, helping the reluctant swimmer, teaching your Newf
basic obedience, and retrieving training.
The chapter describing the
history of the water test and how its exercises have changed over the
years is fascinating reading. A glossary (brand new) clearly defines
often confusing terms, and a greatly expanded index makes finding help
or inspiration a snap. A source guide lists equipment and training
aids.
Hundreds of photographs enliven
this new edition. Dozens of sketches make the book easy to understand
and fun to read. And even the casual Newfoundland owner with no
interest in competitive water work will find many ideas and fun games
that he and his dog can enjoy together.
