Can anybody recommend an excellent book for obedience training dogs?

September 10th, 2009

I hate the thought of paying hundreds to have our puppy trained when we could do it ourselves. Can someone help recommend a very good book to us,we have a border collie currently 8 weeks old.

Try any books by CAESAR MILAN, also know as THE DOG WHISPERER.
He gives great advice, and very easy to follow his instructions.

    There are several books I would recommend. One is "Good Owners, Great Dogs," by Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson. You can do a lot yourself, but having your puppy in a structured class, along with reading and working with your pup at home, is the best way to do things. Interacting with other pups and people in a setting where you expect your pup to obey in spite of major distractions is something you can’t do at home. Our local park district charges $84 for an 8 week class. I would highly recommend a lot of reading, practice at home and the classes.

    Good luck!
