Dog books I own:
Culture clash by Jean donaldson
The power of positive dog training by Pat miller (gave me a good start when I started learning about dog training)
On my mums kindle:
So you want to be a dog trainer by Nicole Wilde (mostly about being a dog trainer, but has some useful training tips I guess)
Mine! A guide to resource guarding by Jean donaldson
I like to look for books at the library, so far the only one I've liked is "the power of..." by pat miller (which I got my own copy of later) and Reaching the animal mind by karen pryor. The library doesn't stock many books I'm into, they have some good books on training tricks, but I know how to train most, if not, youtube is easy enough. I only buy books if they've been recomended by people I know use the same methods as me, or are written by authors I know and like.
I want:
Don't shoot the dog, control unleashed, click to calm, calming signals, the other end of the leash and I know there's a whole lot more. Hopefully I'll have a bit of birthday money. My family must think I'm a dog nerd... I spent half the birthday money my grandparents got me (they gave me $40 + whatever gifts I get on my actual birthday), on kong like toys for the dogs. Now I'm thinking I'll be spending the rest on dog books lol

As far as a training book goes, 'Don't shoot the dog' is amazing. Clearly explains all the "rules" and tips in to an organized method, as well as being all positive. Because It doesn't focus specifically on dogs, it's basically a manuel for training anything. Also, Karen Pryor helped make clciker training as well known as it is; a pioneer in training, so to speak. Highly recommended.
I want to read Click to Calm! I need to get around to ordering it through the library....For someone new to training, the 'for Dummies' dog training book isn't bad.
Another couple good books are 'Animals in Translation', and 'Animals make us human', by Temple Grandin. No so much a training book, but another view on animals, they way they see life, and how we can make life better for them because of it.

I just like reading books *shrug* it gives me some good ideas especially when I can't find the right info online and I like reading about different methods and what different trainers have to say etc.
Quote: I want: Don't shoot the dog, control unleashed, click to calm, calming signals, the other end of the leash and I know there's a whole lot more.
I really want control unleashed (and in focus), but it's so darn expensive on Amazon and clean run...The library doesn't have it and none of the bookstores carry it
Quote: I like to look for books at the library
I wish our Library had the books I want... If they did I wouldn't have to buy them...
Click to calm should be coming in the mail today or sometime within the next few days. I'm really hoping it gives me some good ideas

I keep hearing about Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson. For those who already read the book, how was it?
The books about animals that I read are all story books (mostly autobiography):
Marley & Me by John Grogan
Izzy & Lenore by Jon Katz
Oogy by Larry Levin
Dewey the Library Cat by Vicki Myron
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
Books I'm going to read:
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
Unsaid by Neil Abramson
I'm still reading the culture clash. I'm always only ever in the mood to read it after I've been doing hard schoolwork, and when my brain is already fried, so it's slow going. I'm nearly at the end though, and so far, I like it, and have learned a fair bit from it.
I've been readind culture clash on and off for a few months now :/ I just keep putting it down and when I do it takes me a while to pick it back up, but I'm at least halfway through razz |
