| Good training book??? Can anyone reccomend a good training book? I am going to go out to the store and buy an obedience book... I think I need it. I have read "Yorkie" books, but these books only touch on training. I need a more detailed one. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

| I've read a LOT of training books. I love Patricia McConnell's books like The Other End of the Leash, but it's not so much a "how-to" book but a "this is why training is awesome" book. The best straight forward how-to books that I recommend are: Little Dogs: Training Your Pint Sized Companion by Deborah Wood The Power of Positive Dog Training OR Positive Perspectives: Love Your Dog, Train Your Dog both by Pat Miller - these overlap somewhat so start with one or the other.

| I second Erin's nominations for books (although I haven't read the one by Deborah Wood). Don't Shoot The Dog and Click for Joy are also excellent. To be very honest, though, I get most of my information from the internet these days and there is an amazing amount of good stuff out there. You just have to be careful, though, because some is better than others. My absolute favorite website about dog training is: http://www.clickersolutions.com/arti....htm#behaviors Other good sites for basic training are: http://www.clickerlessons.com/ http://www.dragonflyllama.com/%20DOG...evelsBook.html http://www.shirleychong.com/keepers/index.html http://www.clickertraining.com/skills_for_every_day Happy reading!
