Recommended Reading

I am regularly asked what dog books I recommend. The following list is by no means complete but it's a good beginning. If you read no other book about dogs, read The Other End of the Leash: Why We Do What We Do Around Dogs by Patricia B. McConnell. When you've reached the final page of this amazing book you will understand your dog on a level you cannot even imagine now.
