Can anyone recommend a good book for dog obedience training?
I hate the idea of paying hundreds to have our puppy trained when we could do ourselves. Can anyone recommend a good book for us, a border collie currently 8 weeks.
There are several books I recommend. One of them is "Good Owners, big dogs" by Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson. "Secrets of Dog Training" by Dog Trainer Experts Daniel Stevens. It's a terrible book on how to train dogs. Http: / / kingdom-of-dog.blogspot.com / You can do a lot yourself, but to have your puppy in a structured class, with reading and working with your puppy home is the best way of things. Interacting with other dogs and people in an environment where you expect your puppy to obey, despite distractions is something important you can not do at home. Our local park district charges $ 84 for a class of 8 weeks. I highly recommend reading practice at home and school.
