| Summary | "Dog Breaking" by W. N. Hutchinson is a practical guide on the art of training hunting dogs, written in the mid-19th century. This manual focuses on an efficient and humane approach to training various breeds, particularly pointers, setters, and retrievers, tailored for sportsmen who value both skill and companionship in their dogs. The author's insights suggest that even individuals with limited experience can successfully break dogs by following clear, straightforward instructions. The opening of "Dog Breaking" establishes the importance of dog training and sets the stage for a comprehensive method that combines kindness with effective techniques. Hutchinson emphasizes that dog-breaking can be easily learned and elaborates on the significance of early, consistent training in a calm environment. He introduces key principles such as the necessity of understanding a dog's temperament, maintaining a positive relationship with the animal, and the importance of initial lessons that lay a foundation for advanced training. He encourages readers to participate actively in their dogs' education, ensuring that training is engaging for both the dog and its owner. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
