Recommended Books on Puppy Training

We often get asked what books we would recommend.   Here are a few:

PRE-ORDER Annie's new book coming out Sept 2024!   Annie, owner of The School for the Dogs in NYC, that has worked with many RVDs has written her own positive reinforcement training book - https://amzn.to/3VmmWNj 
​

Zak George is a YouTube star that does videos on how to train dogs - this book is a complement to his videos - everyone loves his enthusiasm and flexibility.  

Here is a link to one of his books on Amazon:  ​https://amzn.to/3ViDbem

Dr. Ian Dunbar - a positive based approach - Before & After Getting Your Puppy ( See Chapter 7!)
​
Here is a link to one of his books on Amazon:  ​https://amzn.to/4cfSGJV

Goldendoodle Book - a general book about goldendoodles, what to expect, and their care - we are in here!

Here is a link to the book on Amazon:  https://amzn.to/3Tfj0eC


Training the Best Dog Ever (positive reinforcement) - this a great book that efficiently gets you with training you can push for in 5 weeks - here is a link to it on Amazon:  ​https://amzn.to/3Png5iW

​Patricia writes a lot for The Whole Dog Journal (A really good monthly subscription) - Her Puppy Primer book is a great starter place for those that have never had a dog before, but, even with my experience I have learned new things by occasionally re-reading it.   The Other End of the Leash is a great book for once you have had your puppy dog for awhile - you will realize all the silly things you are doing that are probably driving your dog nuts.  ;-)  

Here are links to her books on Amazon:  
The Puppy Primer - ​https://amzn.to/3x0kTEk
The Other End of the Leash - https://amzn.to/4a2CdqG
