Parenting your Dog

by Trish King

Trish is in charge of training a the Marin County Humane Society and does a lot of training the trainers for Association of Pet Dog Trainers.  She does a great job in this book of comparing raising our children to raising our dogs and how they, in many ways, aren't all that different.  Well, you know what I mean.

 

 

 

Cesar's Way

The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems

by Cesar Milan

Another book I loved.  Although  I am a fan of  positive reinforcement for training and teaching a dog new things,  I've long believed it did not work well for correcting bad behavior.   I think Cesar's Way brings some common sense to dealing with problems.   And aside from that, I think Cesar's  personal story which is a big part of this book is inspirational and shows what determination and hard work can achieve.  What a great success story!

 Dogs in their Gardens

by Page Dickey

After a career in horticulture and then a 5 or so  year time out from doing any gardening at all I decided it was time this year to get back to the earth.   I purchased a few dog/gardening books and this was a favorite.   Lots of great pictures of real dogs in real gardens and it even featured a Chicago garden with a couple of Tibetans!
