Recommended Books on Puppy Training

We often get asked what books we would recommend.   Here are a few:
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.  
Dr. Ian Dunbar - a positive based approach - Before & After Getting Your Puppy ( See Chapter 7!)
Goldendoodle Book - we are in here!
Training the Best Dog Ever (positive reinforcement)
​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.  ;-)
