Doc, forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what CC, FF, or FTP stand for. As far as "distance handling" and complex handling, in Game dog, he talks you thru handling drills up to 200 yards away, with control and precision that would appear to tackle 99.9 % of hunting situations.

I'm not trying to argue. I just want a full understanding of the difference between his training method and the more "modern" forms of training. I should state that my goal is a top level HUNTING dog. I want a dog that can handle, that is precise on commands, and won't disobey just because he is excited. The dog will be steady to shot, and good at marking doubles and triples. No plans at all for field trials. Also I am a first time trainer, so overly advanced training might be over my head at this point.

Given what I am looking for can Wolters book get me there, or will I fall short?
