good training book suggestions pls

[ladyearl]

I am working on lots of things with Tess just now and some things are working and some I'm not sure of. Yesterday I called her to me to sit and wait while a van drove up the farm track past us - she sat and waited and I released her, she went a little way off and I called her back and she came but the next time I released her she went hell for leather after the van!!!! I thought maybe she thought that was actually what I wanted her to do! So I need to think of ways of preventing this happening again!

I like reading and musing over this kind of thing and I realise I don't have many training manuals for dogs. One or two but they are all quite basic. I have Understanding the Border Collie by Carol Price (quite old though) and find that quite good. Does anyone have any other suggestions...............

thank you in advance

Ditto previous two suggestions plus In Defence of Dogs by John Bradshaw and Kikopup's training videos on Youtube.

Train your dog like a pro, by J Donaldson.

 

[Dobiegirl]

Dog training for dummies by Jack Volhard & Wendy Volhard. A really comprehensive easy to read book that covers everything from crate training your puppy up to training your dog to compete.

Oh great thanks I have ordered The Culture Clash and Don't Shoot the Dog as both were recommended elsewhere too. Excited now, love getting books!

nb: am now convinced that Tess thought my wait command was to wait and then get the van. So I'm trying wait and once van/jogger/cyclist is past then I do a recall or a watch me command. Also getting the habit of saying something to end a training exercise so she knows it's over.
