Smyth & Bergh-Roose dog training handbook. I don't agree with all of it but it woould be very good for people new to dogs!

And now I am reading The Dog Listener

The Other End of the Leash by McConnell. This is a very interesting book on animal behavior. I've also read The Other End of the Leash, and Feisty Fido- both good reads.

I just read "Teach Your Dog to Behave"
Simple Solutions to over 300 Common Dog Behaviors
from A-Z By: Bashkim Dibra.
Loved it! It isnt a book totally based on puppies! It is for any dog. It will come in very handy for my work also.
It is the 2nd book he has put out. Now, I am reading his first one. It's called "Dog Training by Bash".

My favorite:
Fundamentals of Learning and Motivation...by Frank Logan (see description in 2nd page of this thread)

My next favorite:
Dogs...by Raymond & Lorna Coppinger

Written by two biologists, this book explores the origin of the dog from a biological point of view.
Along the way you find interesting little tit-bits, like the fact that in the biological latin nominclature, the dog was lumped with the wolves only because both have 42 teeth, not because Linnaeus (the creator of the nominclature) thought they were related!

And you read in the chapter on "Behavioral Conformation" about a predator's "motor pattern", which explains why a Border Collie will eye-stalk-chase sheep, but not grab-kill-dissect-consume (he lacks the rest of the pattern to do so)

There is also a section on the unexpected results of breeding for certain traits.
Ie, breed-select for tameness in wild silver foxes, and one gets a tame fox....with a pinto coat, floppy ears, and dog-like sounds.

Not a glossy quick read, though it does have a few B&W photos.
But interesting stuff!
