What the Dogs Taught Me
Observations and Suggestions That Will Make You a Better Hunter, Shooter, and Dog Owner
By Scott Linden

Sure, we can train our hunting dogs, but can they train us? Based on a decade of hunting with over two hundred dogs on his television shows, What the Dogs Taught Me: Observations and Suggestions That Will Make You a Better Hunter, Shooter, and Dog Owner (Skyhorse Publishing, June 2013) by Scott Linden will shave two years off the learning curve, empowering newcomers to better enjoy bird hunting and dog training. Linden will present a free two-hour seminar on Sunday, August 25 at the Filson flagship store in Seattle starting at 1 p.m.

Linden says if you hunt for pheasants, grouse, quail, and other upland birds, forming a partnership with your dog can be a daunting challenge. With lessons on dogs’ desires, skills, and abilities to learn, care and feeding, health and safety, preparation, and shooting, his What the Dogs Taught Me seminar is the ultimate guide to maximizing happiness and minimizing frustration whether out on the hunt or relaxing in the backyard. Even better, Linden’s lovable, often hilarious tone makes taking advice on training, strategizing, and partnership enjoyable to human and canine alike.

Full of information found nowhere else, the book can be described as a “201-level” handbook for bird hunters and dog owners. The seminar distills much of the book into a concise, fast-paced two-hour session. Linden describes it as a season-full of hunting with your expert best friend, who is generous with his own experiences, offering shooting tips, dog training insights, bird behavior, hunting strategies, and shortcuts, tips, and tactics.
