When we take a new dog home, there are many things that we need to take into account and consider in order to give the new incomer a healthy, happy and comfortable life. But there are some others that will not be useful for him, but especially for us and to avoid unexpected and uncontrollable situations. We are talking about training as a method of teaching your dog rules of behavior and response towards your orders. In the first place, we must recommend you the Dog Obedience Training book, written by Ross Allan and published in 1997 by TFH Publications. Through its over fifty pages you will find information about general rules of the training process and many exercises to practice with your dog. It is important for you to know that this book has some of the best reviews and it is also quite accessible in terms of language and vocabulary. 21 Days to Train Your Dog is another greatly reviewed option. Its author, Colin Tennant gives us the chance to learn about different training styles, techniques, exercises and also why is obedience training important. This book has been published by Firefly Books in the year of 2006 with over one hundred and fifty pages for you to enjoy. You can also learn quite a lot from Expert Obedience Training for Dogs, by Winifred Gibson Strickland and published by Howell Book House in 2003 as the fourth edition and consisting of over three hundred pages. This is clearly one of the most complete options available and in its thorough analysis you will be able to read about important subjects such as why training is recommendable and in which cases, when the process should start and a lot of exercises divided into different levels of complication. With a nice and attractive title, Dogs Love to Please… We Teach Them How!: The Safe and Gentle Guide to Dog Obedience Training Through Interspecies Communication is a beautiful book since it is not only useful and interesting, but also really accessible and impressive. Written by September B. Morn and printed by Pawprince Press in 1994, this book is perfectly usable and results will quickly appear. Finally, an easy to follow book is ABC Practical Guide to Dog Training, written by Steven Appelbaum and published by Howell Book House in 2003. Through its over two hundred pages you will find the information you need about training techniques, trainers and many other possibilities. The most important thing for you to remember once you have read any of these books is that training should be done seriously, but it should also be a moment of fun since from there on is when you and your dog will truly bond for ever. |
