Understand your dog!

Norwegian dog trainer Turid Rugaas teaches you to understand and make use of canine body language.

The American Kennel Club recognizes 150-some breeds of dogs. Each of those breeds of dog has a "parent club", that is, a group of breeders who have determined what the ideal dog of that breed should look and perform like. These determinations are called "standards." The 150-some breeds that the AKC recognises have their standards listed in full in this book. There is also a short section on canine health, behavior and training.

This is probably the best book on pet allergies and skin diseases. It contains a lot of scientific information and jargon but isn't too over the top for pet owners that want the nitty gritty details.

The Pet First Aid & Disaster Response Guide is designed to help pet care givers provide temporary, urgent care to pets until they can reach a veterinary or emergency clinic. The text will teach readers how to care for animals before, during, and after an emergency.

This book is an introduction to the scientific principles of behaviour & learning. The information is presented in a text book type of approach with good doggy examples. Great for instructors and those wanting a bit more of an understanding of how dog behaviour works.

A great picture anthology of dogs being dogs. This is a very helpful book in that is captures a snapshot of canine emotion to help increase our awareness of dog-dog and dog-human communication.

This book a good reference source of dog language as it is as the title describes encyclopedia and lists behaviours in alphabetical order.

Just one of those must read books. Explains the principles of Operant Conditioning in a wonderfully easy to read entertaining way.

Jean presents our dogs as they are in this book, giving us a no nonsense approach to understanding and dealing with their behaviour. Excellent!
