Books about Puppy and Dog Training and Behaviour


We have assembled a selection of dog books and puppy books covering subjects such as bringing up your puppy, training your dog, canine behaviour in general, dealing with dog aggression, understanding your dog etc.
All these are available to purchase on-line from here and we have added our own comments if we have read the book.

Border Collie Books Understanding & Training Puppies
Typically common sense and down to earth our only critisism would be that whilst everything Mrs Sykes says applies 100% to the Border Collie or Golden Retriever it may be a little wide of the mark for less biddable breeds, none-the-less this book deserves pride of place. Refreshing to find the black/white /grey area analogy which "trendy" training methods so often fails to grasp.

Dogs and Children
A must have for anyone who needs to manage the relationship between child and dog. Whether parents with children and a family pet, dog owning grandparents with children visiting regularly or any dog owner who has to entertain children however occasionally. This little book explains in typically readable style the hows and whys of the child/dog relationship.

Dog Books
The Perfect Puppy
A very useful book and one of the ones we always recommend to propective puppy owners, lots of common sense and basically very sound. Like so many books written by those involved in rescue it focusses on problem solving rather than prevention and is a little over the top in places, for example suggesting that puppies should be in their new homes by 6 weeks, no, no, no!

Dog Books
Understanding & Handling Dog Aggression
Cunningly titled to be sure of good sales this is not really about aggression but about relationships (perhaps the same thing). None-the-less the best dog book we have read for many years and a must for every dog and puppy owner. It is reassuring to know that we are not the only ones who are uncomfortable with so called "motivational training"..

The Dog Listener
This book was reviewed in Swedish by one of our dog au pairs.
Very well written with practical advice backed up by illustrative Case Studies, an exellent book for those experiencing problems with their canine companion and ideal for owner seeking to establish the right relationship with their dog and avoid creating problems through misunderstanding.
