There was a request for favorite books on dog training so here's my list of favorites. There may be others out there that I haven't read, but this list will give you a pretty great education on dog training. You can find a lot of these at your local library and some are even on audiobook/audible! 


Favorite Books:

Favorite Puppy Books:

Puppy Primer: Dr. Patricia McConnell

Puppy Culture DVD Series (this is a breeder series for puppies 3 days to 12 weeks but I think is helpful for puppy owners too and you should be looking for breeders that do puppy culture/early neurological stimulation (ENS) with their litters)

I started listening to On The Other End of The Leash and oh my gosh, there's so much there! The first 2 chapters have been on dog body language, human body language, and some places that they aren't naturally in alignment. It's been helpful already!

I'm so glad you are finding it helpful! It's one of my favorite books if you're into anthropology type stuff!
