Adding to the wealth of knowledge in the volume 1, Walk with Wick: the Treedog Encyclopedia Volume 2 is a fantastic reference for any houndsmen.
“Walk with Wick- The Treedog Encyclopedia should immediately go to the top of the heap of books on training and caring for hounds. There is simply no one more qualified to write on the subject. Nor is there anyone more able to pass on what he has learned."
“John wick is recognized as perhaps the nation’s leading coonhound trainer. His methods are based on his own vast personal experience. For many years John worked with 50 to 100 dogs a year and hunted all night almost every night of the year. There is no more serious student of the training of coonhounds alive today. There isn’t a training technique he hasn’t tried. And there isn’t a coonhound related problem he hasn’t encountered—several times.”
