Other Behavior/Training Books....

[Brooke&Ryan]

Hi everyone----

I ordered "Bones Would Rain Down From The Sky" by Suzanne Clothier & haven't recieved it yet. I'm excited to start reading. I've read & re-read "Culture Clash" & I'm very interested in reading more dog behavior books & relationships between humans & dogs. Can anyone suggest any decent books to check out???

I was looking at possibly buying:

"The Other End of the Leash" by Patrica McConnell
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

"The Cautious Canine" by Patricia McConnell
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

"Dogs are From Neptune" by Jean Donaldson
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...82201?v=glance

and there is a book that I'm not finding on the amazon.com site about dogs & what they do when we're not at home. Basically just sleep...but it looked cool. It looked interesting also. Thanks for any input!

Leader of the Pack, by Nancy Baer and Steve Duno...a great little book that kind of combines NILIF with Culture Clash info that anybody can understand that has half a brain (did I say that?)...well, I got it for the in-laws of a friend who were having trouble with their Golden, if that says anything...and The Dog IQ Test by Melissa Miller, just for old-fashioned fun!

Hi Brooke - Here's a couple of other books that I really like -
Karen Pryor's "Don't Shoot the Dog" (a great book on understanding behaviors and changing them, even in humans!)

"Purely Positive Training: Companion to Competition" - Sheila Booth

"The Power of Positive Dog Training" - Pat Miller

Best wishes -

Thanks for all of the suggestions Kathy & Flyballmom.

Kathy---I was just watching "Cell Dogs" on Animal Planet & they were reading "Don't Shoot the Dog". I'll have to check them all out.
