Canine Ergonomics: The Science of Working Dogs by William S. Helton
Traditionally, information concerning working dogs is mostly hearsay, with the exchange of information informal at best and non-existent at worst. Most books available are too general in coverage or conversely, too specific. They explain how to train a service dog or train a dog to track, based on training lore rather than empirical methods verified with rigorous scientific standards. This book, drawing on cutting edge research, unifies different perspectives into one global science.

| The Power of Positive Dog Training by Pat Miller
The first positive reinforcement dog training book that we read. It was easy to read and follow, while guiding the reader through teaching correct form and problem solving techniques. A great start for pet training and helpful beginnings for canine sports. |
