My favorites so far are:
P. McConnell "The Other End of the Leash"
K. Pryor "Don't Shoot the Dog"
A. Hallgren Can't remember what his books are called right now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/01_smile.gif[/img]
T. Rygaas "On Speaking Terms with Your Dog" I think that is the English tittle.
S.Coren "How to speak Dog"

Can't remember more right now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/01_smile.gif[/img]

I have a few GSD specific books already mentioned throughout this post, but my favorite book is the one that saved the lives of 2 of my dogs. The Nature of Animal Healing by Dr Martin Goldstein. It costs under $20 and is invaluable.

I have to agree with two that have already been mentioned-
The German Shepherd Today- (I have had it for 5 years and I still use it for reference and genetic info it's my GSD bible!)
Schutzhund Theory and Training Methods- (very good basic information)

this is the best book i have read so far...
Grrr! : the complete guide to understanding and preventing aggressive behavior in dogs / Mordecai Siegal and Matthew Margolis.
check it out, alot about a dog's body language and bark tones.

I just started reading the most incredible book. Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior. It's very simple for people with no background in animal science and right now I'm reading about genetics and there is some great information in there. There is also some things she is saying that I don't exactly disagree with, but it's making me think about (in the dog genetics area). I'd love if I had someone to discuss this book with.

The Power of Positive Training:Pat Miller
Culture Clash: Jean Donaldson
Excel-erated Learning:Pamela Reid
How To Speak Dog/The Intelligence of Dogs: Stanley Coren
Training Your Dog: Volhard and Fisher
Schutzhund; Theory and Training Methods:Barwig and Hilliard
Purely Positive: Shelia Booth
Schutzhund Training in Drive: Dildea and Booth
Decoys and Aggression: Mackenzie
Der Schutzhund (The Protection Dog) Helmut Raiser
Excelling at Dog Agility, Books 1-3: Jane Simmons-Moake

These are probably my most favorite , I do have a few that could be listed as take it or leave it. I am rather fond of the Flinks and Tom Rose videos. That reminds me, I need to order Toms book.

Suka, I LOVED Animals in Translation! I need to read it again, but I refer to it often in conversation. It probably is my favorite book on animal behavior. I also enjoyed Nicholas Dodson's behavior books: A-Z of Dog Behavior and The Dog Who Loved Too Much. Great, easy reads.

Currently I'm reading Control of Canine Genetic Diseases - not exactly light reading but extremely interesting. I'm not looking to be a breeder, but I do want to understand the nature of genetics, particularly with respect to inheritable diseases. The author, Dr. George Padgett, offers the premise that through the use of open registries, genetic diseases in purebreds can be eliminated. Despite the complexity, I appreciate gaining a little knowledge in this area.

I'm happy to discuss any and all!
