Dog Training Book

Hi can anyone recommend a good training book. Lily and Lola can be quite naughty and I think I need to start a strict training program. Thanks

Its a tough one there are so many different styles and techinques or training out there so it would depend on your basic needs for training i would go on amazon and see what takes your fancy Dr Ian Dunbar is a good trainer but you could just go for a basic training book and adjust too your needs x

I enjoyed this book...

Amusing, informative & makes you realise you're not alone!

Thanks for your help. They are fine in the house its when I take them out the fun starts. I think I'm going to have to walk them separately until they behave. I need to go back to basics!

Never used a book, more instinct! I'm sure you'll sort it

I'm afraid instinct isn't working lol

There are loads of good ones:

When Pigs Fly by Jane Killion

The Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson

Control Unleashed by Leslie McDevitt

Don't Shoot The Dog by Karen Pryor

Are just a few

It really depends on how you feel about certain aspects of training because they all have different opinions and methods. For example, we had a debate about bite inhibition. Some trainers and members here feel that teaching a dog to bite softly before teaching them not to bite at all is necessary whereas other trainers and members feel that teaching them not to bite from the off is the way forward. I would have a look at the methods and opinions of a few trainers online, and buy a book written by the trainer that you most agree with. Theme you know you'll be getting what you want in regards to training and results. Good luck!

Has Victoria Stillwell ever written a book? I've watched the program and I really like her training methods

I really rate her too. I'm not sure if she has, we'll have to Google it. I would think that she would have written a book though.

Yer just 1 or 2

I wouldn't kick her out of bed!

I use the Jan Fennel book "The Dog Listener", She has a puppy one too, although i also enjoy her "7 Ages of the dog" All positive training and explains the psychology behind their actions. Really good read if nothing else
