Reading List
Keeping up to date with the latest developments in Canine Science is important as modern science and especially genetics is revealing remarkable insights into dog evolution, behaviour and breeds. Equally it requires a strong grounding in the classic works of Dog Behaviour such as Coppinger, Miller, Donaldson and Lindsay. Meet Your Dog – K Brophey & R Coppinger – Highly recommended, if you want to understand your dog better, in my opinion this is the best book to help you do so. The Culture Clash – J Donaldson
The Other End of The Leash – P McConnell PHD
The Power of Positive Dog Training – P Miller
How Dogs Think – S Coren PHD
How to Speak Dog – S Coren PHD
Decoding Dogs: Inside the Canine Mind – E Furlong
