Recommended Dog Training Books Using Positive Reinforcement
From reading a selection of recommended dog training books, in my experience, the best ones focus on using positive reinforcement, which seem to get the most positive response from the dogs or puppies being trained, as opposed to using more negative methods such as choke or check collar training or electric collar training. It is important to train your dog or puppy by gaining his or her respect and not through fear.
The books all teach methods of establishing yourself as your dog's pack leader which is essential if you want to gain your dog's trust and respect. There are several things you can do to accomplish this such as controlling your dog's food, making sure he or she gets plenty of exercise and teaching him, or her, the basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come and heel.
The best dog training books all start off with puppy training, as in house training, crate training etc and then explain how to look after you dog regarding, diet and nutrition, exercise and vet visits. It then describes all of the different types of training methods such as clicker training, reward training and dog whispering.
They then go through all of the dog behaviour problems like aggression, barking, nipping and basic disobedience and go through the different steps to rectify these problems and create a harmonious environment in your home with your dog or dogs.
Finally, there is always a list of advanced commands and tricks you can teach your dog once you've mastered the basic obedience commands and have him or her under control.
From all the recommended dog training books using positive reinforcement that I have read, the one I personally would recommend is ‘Secrets of Dog Training'. If you want to teach your dog to be well behaved and obedient, you can get this comprehensive dog training handbook at http://www.thedogtrainingsite.info covering all aspects of dog ownership, from understanding your dog to problem-solving to complete obedience work.
