I wanted to improve my website building skills and sharing my passion for Labradors seemed like a great place to begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the founder of the UK Gundog Club and creator of it&#8217;s Graded Training Scheme I had also discovered a passion for helping pet dog owners experience the fun of retriever training and the joy of owning a well behaved dog. And my first mainstream book Total Recall was published the following year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started working with Penguin Random House in 2014 and with them have produced the Happy Puppy Handbook, and The Labrador Handbook. And there&#8217;s an exciting new title due in 2025. More of that soon&#8230;!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id565_1551cd-1d > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:center;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id565_1551cd-1d >
