Sure, we can train our hunting dogs, but can they train us? Based on a decade of hunting with over two hundred dogs on his television shows, What the Dogs Taught Me: Observations and Suggestions That Will Make You a Better Hunter, Shooter, and Dog Owner by Scott Linden will shave two years off the learning curve, empowering newcomers to better enjoy bird hunting and dog training. Linden's book is now available wherever books are sold, including big-box, independent and online retailers.

If you hunt for pheasants, grouse, quail, and other upland birds, forming a partnership with your dog can be a daunting challenge. With lessons on dogs' desires, skills, and abilities to learn, care and feeding, health and safety, preparation, and shooting, What the Dogs Taught Me is the ultimate guide to maximizing happiness and minimizing frustration whether out on the hunt or relaxing in the backyard. Even better, Linden's lovable, often hilarious tone makes taking advice on training, strategizing, and partnership enjoyable to human and canine alike.

Full of information found nowhere else, it can be described as a "201-level" handbook for bird hunters and dog owners. Linden describes it as a season-full of hunting with your expert best friend, who is generous with his own experiences, offering shooting tips, dog training insights, bird behavior, hunting strategies, and shortcuts, tips, and tactics. Also included is the most comprehensive glossary of hunting-dog and hunting terms, and an extensive "Ultimate Upland Checklist" for trip planning.

Don't be a student at the school of hunting hard knocks-What the Dogs Taught Me advances an upland hunter's skills quickly, creatively, and without any of the angst of more difficult methods.

Scott Linden is known as one of the foremost media interpreters of outdoor pursuits. He is the creator and host of Wingshooting USA television series, as well as two nationally-syndicated radio shows that bear his name. He lives with his wife and two hunting dogs in Bend, Oregon.
