The good and the bad! Sometimes you need to read about what NOT to do as well. Here's a list of all the books I've read with links to source and quick reviews.
By Dr. Ian Dunbar
Great book and properly labeled! Get this BEFORE you get your puppy so you are not scrambling.
By Dr. Ian Dunbar
Don't stop now that you have the puppy! Keep going with Dunbar's Next book. Easy read as I know you are now busy!
By Jean Donaldson
I think this book should be mandatory reading for all pet owners! Gives you a proper perspective about what it's like being another species living in our homes.
By Dr. Patricia McConnell
Another must have for the average dog owner.
By Karen Pryor
Karen is the founder of clicker training. This book is known as the Bible of Learning Theory in the dog training world! A technical book for training nerds and professionals.
By Pamela Reid
Another techy book that is a fundamental for all dog trainers.
By Jean Donaldson
Another great book for owners. Resource guarding is a pretty common behavior and this book makes it easy to understand and modify.
By Dr. Patricia McConnell
Another one for owners. Understanding dog reactivity.
By Brian Killcommons
Here's an example of what NOT TO DO! These types of training methods were once common practice but are now known to be barbaric, fear inducing, and totally unnecessary!
By Cesar Milan
Another what NOT TO DO! Milan is know for his outdated methods rooted in theories of debunked dominance ideologies in dogs. This first book is fairly innocuous but his methods quickly deteriorate into physical domination and intimidation.
By Dr. Sophia Yin
Love her! She was the leader in low stress veterinary care.
By Dr. Sophia Yin
Anything by her is amazing. Easy, step by step guide.
By Dr. Rise VanFleet
Let's face it! Dog training is easy, people training is hard! This book helps.
By Terry Ryan
Another great training humans book.
