Aaron was making fun of me earlier for the amount of dog books I have (they're all organized by subject in my book cases) and I got to thinking... I do have a lot. lol

I'm curious to see which books you have, and if I'm the only crazy one here who has a ton of them.

 

[Paige]

I own all the books by Stanley Coren and a few others I don't remember the name/who they are by.

 

[GlassOnion]

I have two. One is about psychadellic and other drug usage in dogs and the other is about Reveille, our school's mascot.

 

[Pam111]

Not many
I have a couple husky books because I used to have a husky/malamute
Little Dogs: Training your Pint-Sized Companion
Getting Started: Clicker Training for Dogs
The Dog Handbook (I just wanted to look at pictures mostly---it's not actually a good book )

Really, I don't have the need for many training type books because I learn a lot on forums and other places on the internet

 

[Buddy'sParents]

If I decide to not be too lazy I'll type up a list soon. But I have a lot.

 

[JennSLK]

I dont have any of them here. BUT I know I have a Vet maunal, a bunch of breed books, 2 doberman books, a beagle book, and a pitbull book.

 

[CharlieDog]

I have like, two shelves dedicated to dog books. And I'm waaay to lazy to type them all up.

 

[Pam111]

While we're on this topic, I would be curious what people consider to be "must haves" for dog lovers?

 

[jess2416]

I have ONE...lol

Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin

 

[Dizzy]

Only ones from when I was a kid.

 

[SisMorphine]

I don't have too many. Mostly because my boss has two entire bookshelves at her house, and we have an entire bookshelf at work, filled with anything I could ever want to read. Here's my short list:

[Dekka]

Culture Clash
If Bones would rain from the sky
Excelerated Learning
Shaping Success.

Oh and I have No Bad Dogs...but its a really silly book so it doesn't really count.

 

[ACooper]

I only have 2 and they are both doberman pinscher books, LOL

Doberman Pinschers by Kerry Donnelly
This one I like, it has a health care section and other useful information.

&
Doberman Pinschers A Complete Owner's Manual ( ) by Barron's
This is one of those generic breed books that pretty much has doberman pictures in it with some fodder that applies to most any breed.


Any training books or the like I have checked out from the library and returned

 

[Laurelin]

None of the spiffy ones, just like... Encyclopedia of the dog, and dog breed books. I have ONE papillon book.

I just like the pictures.

 

[RedHotDobe]

For The Love Of A Dog is currently sitting on my bed since I've been reading it. The rest are in a box somewhere until I can find a place to put them.

 

[Whisper]

I have wayyyy too many to list, but I'll list a few off the top of my head.
The Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson
The Other End of the Leash by Patricia McConnell
For the Love of a Dog by Patricia McConnell
Bones Would Rain from the Sky by Susanne Clothier
A book on Pugs, no idea why I bought it, I just wanted to read up on a random breed.
I've got some generic dog books that give general (and often limited) info on breeds and health, etc., like The Dog Bible and The New Encyclopedia of the Dog.
I've also got two training books I don't care for because of the methods they use. One of them is Good Dogs, Bad Habits (can't remember the author) that addresses "behaviorial issues" to be treated with shaker cans, scruff shakes, aplha rolls, and on and on. The other is a very old book, the Pet Library's Dog Training Guide. It was written in the 60s using very old, traditional training methods.
And then of course I have an array of dog novels like Where the Red Fern Grows, Sounder, Shiloh, Old Yeller, The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, Marley and Me, etc.

And lots more.

I have the basic must haves for dog training, but I will never have enough, lol. The majority of mine are now at a friends house because she has a new puppy.

I would be curious what people consider to be "must haves" for dog lovers?

I recommend (in this order):
Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson

(Those are the 3 I started out with, and the ones that I reference most and which taught me the most)

Right now I am saving for a very expensive Brenda Aloff book.

 

[Snark]

I am a bookaholic... and it's not a problem. A partial list, doesn't include all of the breed books, the fluffy info books and the fiction books. (Does anyone read Albert Payson Terhune anymore?)
