... This book is a treasure of advice, guidance, thoughts and tips to assist professionals, amateurs and all gundog owners enjoy the partnership, relationship, love and training of gundogs. I certainly will recommend it to all who wish to enjoy and learn from the life path of dog training, and achieve "The Balance".

When I started to train my first show golden I had lot of training problems and because of it I bought some books. The main problem when you start training is to understand the dog and to solve the handler or the dog bonding faults. That's the reason why I stopped to buy the "how to do training" books. Beautiful exercises, everything correct but... what if me or my dog doesn't follow the book's expectations because of poor relationship? That's the main difference between what I've read in my past and "The Balance". Oliver spends lot of pages explaining the relationship between handler and dog and clearly guides a new handler with an easy to follow program, using simple words, from the beginning of the handler and dog life together to the open level training and the competitions. Oliver's book is a must have. Being a professional trainer he doesn't forget how hard the start of this activity can be. Thank you Oliver!

To be honest I was very sceptical of your book at the beginning. I thought again one of many, then my friend, Roland gave it to me for Christmas. I read it now for a few days and I really must confess it's the best dog book l've ever read.
