I love this book for a practical, easy to manage guide on how to train your puppy. It is well written and interesting.
Barking: The Sound of a Language by Turid Rugaas
This is an excellent book on all the different types of barking, what each means and what to do about it. Besides being practical, it is also interesting.
On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals by Turid Rugaas
This is a super interesting book that explains canine body language. It is excellent and helps you recognize when your dog is stressed and when to intervene. Turid Rugaas has a unique understanding of canine behaviour. It is a very interesting read.
The Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson
I really love this book. It explains dog behaviour in a very easy to understand, impactful way. I learned so much from this book and know you will as well.

I love this book so much. Suzanne is very entertaining and knowledgeable. She is known for relationship based training. I have been to her seminars and read her book. I can't recommend it enough.
Oh, Behave! by Jean Donaldson
This is a really good book on training. It has many dog training issues and solutions.
Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz
This is a super interesting read on dogs. It explains the details of dogs from how they see the world from their physiological perspective. I loved it!
