 |  |  |  | I enjoyed *The Other End of the Leash*, Patricia McConnell. It left me hungry for more of her material. She will be in Louisville this coming October and I would love for the Clinic send me there. Wouldn't that be awesome!!
Recently I read *Who moved my Bone*, Teresa Mancuso. This is an interesting guide to managing multiple dog households, although I would have liked to see her tell a few more corrective stories and focused less on the more generally known information.
I really liked the new Monks of New Skete book, Divine Canine. I know that many trainers these days frown on the Monks and Cesar Milan, et al, however, even though the techniques may be rougher, the knowledge they have about the dogs mind is incredible. And both have recanted some of thier earlier training methods and now use the Positive and more acceptable styles.
The truth is I used to train differently also. Ask Tessa!!
Bones would rain from the Sky - excellent!!
The Dog Who Loved too Much - Nicholas Dodman
I have some older books as well that I keep returning to...
The Dogs Mind, Bruce Fogle
The Intelligence of Dogs, Stanley Coren
The Canine Good Citizen, The Volhards
Never Cry Wolf, Farley Mowat
and John Cree's, Understanding the GSD.
I have numerous other books in my library but those seem to be the ones I keep re-reading or refer to.
As soon as my classes are completed, tests and all, I will order another batch of books from the suggested reading here. |  |  |  |  |
