Recommend me a good book on dogs

[Merlin11]

Hi, I am planning to get a Labrador pup at some stage. I had a dog when I was young but am a bit rusty on training and feeding etc. Can anyone recommend a good book or books on this? Many thanks.

Ian Dunbars 'before you get your puppy' and 'after you get your puppy. Hang on a jiffy I think there might be a free version online.............. I'll go look

The culture clash is also good

Dog training for Dummies by Jack & Wendy Volhard published by Wiley Publishing. Its a good all round book that covers everything in cluding what drive your dog has and how to train to maximise this. Its very user friendly too

Thanks all. Have just bought a copy of the perfect puppy. This should be a start if it doesn't scare me off! Forgotten how much work puppies are. Then just have to persuade the OH.

My friend sent me a copy of this when I got Sprocket. Unfortunately he shredded it before I had a chance to read it
