Dog books any reccomendations?

[Disenchanted3]

I have about a few, 2 of the 'for dummies' ones! on pugs and bitches.

I've a dog behaviour one.

And just got 'book of the bitch' this morning.

Any others I should read?

TIA

Which behaviour one have you got?

it was from a charity shope before i even got my dogs...

its this one

No idea about that one.

A pretty essential and basic book is this one.

Gwen Bailey's Perfect Puppy is a great book. Comes highly recommended from the more experienced posters on this board And I have just started reading it myself and loving the advice and support it gives.

I have the Puppies for Dummies book but found it a bit vague, tbh.

I am reading the Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson and I think it's brilliant. Vets should be giving it out with the microchips imvho.

My top two are Culture Clash and the one OhFuck linked to. Just got that one recently (on Minimu's recommendation) and it is very good.

Needless to say, Cesar Millan useful only if you run out of loo roll

I've ordered that one too, and also Don't shoot the Dog. Am not having much luck finding a clicker trainer here at the mo.

I third The Culture Clash - what a top book it is. Really, really intersting, v funny in parts and the chapters at the back on how to progress trhough sit, down, stay, recall etc are (I imagine) going to get very well thumbed in the future.

I'm still ploughing through Don't Shoot the Dog. Despite the name on the cover it is not specifically about dog training, it's more about the why's and hows for successful learning/training in anything really. In fact I have been using some of the stuff I've learnt with the dds (not with a clicker mind) and have seen some interesting (positive) results.

I think the two books compliment each other very well.

I've also got The Perfect Puppy, there are lots of turned over pages in that one too

Ordered culture clash thanks!

No, my dog prefers the newspaper.

Don't be silly, Grimma.

He just looks at the pictures

Awww sophisticated chappy!
