The Best Dog Training\/Behavior Books<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\"\"<\/a>The Culture Clash<\/a>  by Jean Donaldson  (My Note: If you purchase only one book for your library, THIS is the one to own) The  ground breaking book that has shaped modern thinking about canine behavior and the relationship between dogs and humans. Dogs are not little furry humans. Dogs are clever and complex creatures that humans need to take the time to understand in order to live together successfully. <\/em><\/span>\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n\"\"<\/a>Dogs Are from Neptune<\/a>   by Jean Donaldson  In 41 essays, Jean highlights the common and frequently wrong-headed notions people have about why dogs behave the way they do, and explains what really motivates your pooch and how to change behavior. <\/em>\n

 <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n \n\n \n\n\"\"<\/a>Canine Body Language<\/a> \u2013 A Photographic Guide by Brenda Aloff  Hundreds of images in this almost 400 page book illustrate the incredible variety of postures, behaviors and situations that the typical dog either manifests or encounters in his day-to-day life.<\/em>\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n\"\"<\/a>The Other End of the Leash<\/a>  by Patricia McConnell  When humans communicate with dogs, a lot can get lost in the translation. Focusing on human behavior, Dr. McConnell teaches readers how to retrain themselves to speak consistently in a language dogs understand and avoid sending conflicting and confusing messages.<\/em>\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n\"\"<\/a>How to be Leader of the Pack<\/a>  by Patricia McConnell  (My note: even though I don't like the title of the book, it has been proven time and again that dogs are NOT pack animals, this is still a good and inexpensive book) Learn how to love your dogs without spoiling them and provide boundaries without intimidation. This booklet clarifies how to be a benevolent leader and avoid aggression related to fear or dominance.  The ideas and exercises in this booklet are based on the way dogs communicate with each other, so they are highly effective and easy for your dog to understand.<\/em>\n\n \n\n \n\n\"\"<\/a>Love Has No Age Limit<\/a> - Welcoming an Adopted Pet Into Your Home  So here you are, right next to a new dog who just entered the house, and whose life history you know little or nothing about. Now what? How do you welcome an adult or adolescent dog into your home and incorporate this new individual into your family? <\/em>\nLove Has No Age Limit includes information on what to do as you enter the house, how to handle the first few days, what to do and what not to do as you get to know each other, and tips on everything from the car ride home to the first vet visit. It includes advice on training and a section on solving common behavioral problems to helps prevent the most frequent dilemmas that people encounter when adopting a new dog.<\/em>\n\n \n

Two Advanced Books for Those Who Are Interested in the Science Behind Canine Behavior\/Learning Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>How Dogs Learn<\/a>  by Mary Burch and Jon Bailey  Explains the science of operant conditioning, the psychological principle upon which almost all animal training is based. Operant conditioning is the place where science and dog training meet, and the authors bring you there in terms anyone can easily grasp. Every scientific concept is explained clearly and precisely, and its relevance to your dog is laid out. Includes a history of animal training, the basic principles of behavior, behavioral diagnostics (why does the dog do that?), increasing behaviors (teaching your old dog new tricks), decreasing behaviors (dealing with canine delinquents), differential reinforcement, antecedent control, and using punishment. A must-have book for the more serious dog person or behaviorist.<\/em><\/p>\n \n

\"\"<\/a>EXCEL-ERATED Learning<\/a> - Explaining how dogs learn and how best to teach them  by Pam Reid, PHD With the freedom of understanding 'how your dog learns' comes the ability of making the process easy, efficient and enjoyable for your dog. You'll be in a position to excel-erate your dog's learning! Agility enthusiast, obedience competitor and psychologist Dr. Pamela Reid introduces you to cutting-edge scientific techniques in dog training including, autoshaping retrieval (i.e., letting the dog train itself), and 'errorless discrimination learning' for teaching scent articles and directed jumping. The combination of a relaxed writing style and numerous examples that relate to dog training makes learning theory actually fun to learn.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\n \n
