   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.   To purchase this book please
