Mine ain't naturals. I just take them in the shop get them a nice bowl of feed and bowl of water so they comfortable. I then get my easel out and draw a picture of a coon so they know what they are searching for. Sometimes they tree something that don't look like a coon,but I blame that on my drawings not being clear.
From there I draw a few trees and show the coon going up one so as they know were the witty fellow hides. I then draw a picture of a dog barking up tree to show them what to do when he goes up the tree.
I spend a few minutes on creek crossings,trying to show dog importance of only crossing creek were it does not get over my waders. We also work on going the right direction instead of just opposite of where the guide wants them to go.
From there I put up some pictures of off game and draw an X over them.
We finish the sessions listening to Eye of Tiger and watching Rocky run up the steps so they can start to imagine what winning feels like.
We then put hands and paws in on circle like a ball team shout and head out.
This training method may not work for everyone but it has helped me. It saves me a lot of steps in the woods avoiding personal injury from tripping or crossing fences to teach them.
I have a stud dog session also where we start by watching Lady and the Tramp.

You've given me enough information, I don't think I need the book. But where do you buy that easel thing?
