Good books?? Want to share?

I am always looking for books about dogs that will further my knowledge. I noticed the thread about The Other End of the Leash and I wondered if we could all share which books have helped us the most. I'll start. Here's what I have read so far that have made the most difference in my life and more importantly, my dogs lives.

FIGHT! - Jean Donaldson

Culture Clash - Jean Donaldson

The Power of Positive Dog Training - Pat Miller and Jean Donaldson

How Dogs Think - Stanley Coren

The Tellington T-Touch - Linda Tellington Jones

Don't Shoot the Dog - Karen Pryor

Think Dog - John Fisher

Bones Would Rain from the Sky - Suzanne Clothier

The Other End of the Leash - Patricia McConnell

For the Love of a Dog - Patricia McConnell

On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals - Turid Rugaas

Give Your Dog a Bone - Dr. Ian Billinghurst

The BARF Diet - Dr Ian Billinghurst

I also love this page by Suzanne Clothier: http://www.flyingdogpress.com/artlibreg.htm


That's all I can think of right now. There are more but my books are not next to me at the moment. Does anyone else want to share?

Re: Good books?? Want to share?

I think I've read most of those, all great selections.

Here are a few of my favorites:
Dogs: A Startling New Understanding of Canine Origin, Behavior, and Evolution - Raymond and Lorna Coppinger.

Canine Body Language, A Photographic Guide: Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog - Brenda Aloff

Excel-erated Learning: Explaining How Dogs Learn and How Best to Teach Them - Pamela J. Reid

The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins (not really a dog book but it's very applicable to our dogs)

Control Unleashed: Creating a Focused and Confident Dog - Leslie McDevitt

Man Meets Dog - Konrad Lorenz
