Favorite dog books!

TankGrrl66 · 08-05-2011, 12:25 PM

Ok, I am on a search to collect really good books on dog behavior and training.

I recently bought 'The Art of Raising a Puppy' by the Monks of New Skete. Interesting Read. What about their other book?

I also wanted to pick up 'Dog Sense', 'The other end of the leash' and a few others.

What do you all think of the Monks of New Skete books?

Instead of books just about the GSD, I am more looking for dog psychology/behavior and training books...I am going through the sticky thread though.

I like the Monk's books. Somewhat outdated IMO, but a wealth of information non the less.
Although not a training book per se, I highly recommend "I & Dog" by the Monks of New Skete
...more of an inspirational photo book. Check it out.

Personally, 'Dog Training in 10 Minutes" by Carol Lea Benjamin has been my favorite training book.
hope this helps!

Train Your Dog Like a Pro by Donaldson is a rather nice introduction to training.
