Find the Right Dog Training Book

By Brad Davenport

If you're trying to find the right dog training book, you might feel as though the options are limitless and it is difficult to find just the perfect one. Unfortunately, many books on the market are simply rehashed information that someone has quickly thrown together while others are quality information that can really help you.

One of the best places to find a dog training book is by looking online. E-books contain the most up-to-date information because they are so easy to edit. Physical books can go out of date quickly, so finding an online e-book can provide you with instant information that you're looking for.

Before you choose a dog training book, it is important to consider the breed that you're trying to train. Because full-blooded breeds have particular characteristics that come with their genetic makeup, it is important to cater the training methods to the breed. What will work for one breed may not work for another.

As an example, Jack Russell terriers were bred to chase foxes which means that their noses sometimes take precedence over their brain. Beagles suffer from the same issue. Therefore, it makes sense to use training methods that are specific to these kinds of dog breeds and can overcome their intuitive sense of smell.

Before you buy a dog training book, you want to make sure to read the summary to see if you will be comfortable with the training methods being used. There is no need to invest in a training program that you don't feel comfortable with.

You also want to know that the author of the book has specific experience in training dogs. You don't want someone who simply put a bunch of material together but doesn't really know what they're doing.
If possible, look into the background of the person who wrote the book to make sure that they have the right kind of training.

In conclusion, you want to make sure that any dog training method you use does not involve punishment. Disciplining a dog is fine, but physical punishment should never be used as it breaks down the relationship between the dog and their owner. Plus, it simply doesn't work. By doing some research, it is possible to find the right dog training book for your needs
