How is Wolters outdated?
After reading several old threads, I noticed a recurring theme that all of the books by Dick Wolters are outdated and obsolete. I would like you all to expand on specifics. I am currently training a female chocolate lab using Game Dog. It seemed like a good choice, as I will be using her for both upland and waterfowl work, and I want her to be proficient in handling. The training seems logical, step by step and straight forward, and while it is early on, so far things are going extremely well.
It is early enough that I can switch training styles, but I would like from those of you that feel he is outdated to give me some specifics on where is training comes up short, or where his premises are false. Do you feel he brings the dogs along too fast? Is Game Dog a little more up to date, since it is the most recent of his books? Please give me some insight.
