This DVD set covers marking from puppies through advanced training. Mike uses field demonstrations and evening  discussions to describe a complete sequential marking program and to explore a wide variety of marking topics.

Fireside discussions with Mike Lardy expand on the marking concepts in each DVD. These discussions cover commonly asked questions from both FIELD TRIAL and HUNT TEST perspectives.

A comprehensive manual includes introductory remarks, clarifying comments, definitions, diagrams and detailed information on various topics. The manual supports the dvds and details important concepts in sidebars throughout the manual.
