hillfamily Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm looking for some recommendations of good puppy training books or dvds :D Although we had dogs as a child, I have never trained/been responsible for the training of a dog from puppy stage so I'm looking for a book that can back up what I already know or clarify what I am unsure of :D Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 We have recently(well 2 months ago) got a puppy and the book i got our of the library when we got her was the 'puppy parenting' one and the one i got out last week just to read up on training now she is a bit older is the gwen bailey one! I really liked how the puppy parenting one is set out as it is divided up into ages up to a year old so its useful to see how the pups behaviour changes. The diary part that it has is also really good to read as it makes it more 'real'. His dog destroyed lots of things, Lola hasn't reached that stage yet We are off to try out another puppy training class tomorrow with Lola!
