Barking: The Sound of a Language (Dogwise Training Manual)
Turid Rugaas
Dogwise Publishing, 2008
A deep understanding
I also read a great many dog books, and this is one of the best. Rugaas' descriptions are deceptively simple, and might appear to be nothing new. However, they portray barking as a language we simply don't speak, rather than as a problem to be solved.
Rugaas does ...

Positive Perspectives 2: Know Your Dog, Train Your Dog
Pat Miller
Dogwise Publishing, 2008
EXCELLENT continuation of Positive Perspectives
One of my biggest pet peeves is 2nd edition books that change a few minor things about the first edition and rename it "2"; this is not the case with PP 2. There are many new things that build on Positives Perspectives. I highly recommend this for anyone who is ...
