Customer Reviews

Excellent Book!!

I am not much of a reader. But I could not put this book down. Excellent stories!! I will continue to look for other books by this author!!

Bird Hunter

A very entertaining read with plenty of education on pointing dog training. Most of the lessons are anecdotal, but this book will certainly help anyone who's training a bird dog. He does admit that the best book he knows for training is Gun Dog by Wolters which I also recommend. Steven Mulak writes wonderful short stories on bird hunting and for those stricken with the upland hunting "bug", his books are a must for your library. Mulak is to bird hunting as Gierach is to fly fishing. There is a sense that these two authors understand why the reader is so obsessed with these outdoor activities and they are adept at passing this on to the reader. It feels as if you are accompanying the author on his hunting trips, experiencing the point and the flush. Mulak is able to pass his love for upland hunting to the reader. Pointing Dogs Made Easy is a must read for anyone who owns or trains bird dogs.

excellent well-written book on the philosophy of dog work

This is a remarkably fine book on the philosophical under-pinnings of all dog training, with emphasis on bird dogs. Humorous, well-written, interesting. Not a "how-to-do-it" book,this should be read (repeatedly) in conjunction with other more step-by-step books on dog training. Title is misleading.Mulak's approach isn't easy,but it is effective,rational, and fun. A mandatory purchase for all interested in the subject.
