Are you the type of pet owner who taking care of his dog has taken center stage? Is your furry friend subject to behavior problems? Perhaps you wish he would sit when you asked him to? These are some of the topics modern dog training authors address in their books. More and more books ob dog training appear on store shelves every day, because of the increasing demand for them. Dog training book authors aim to capitalize on the growing niche of pet owners who embark on the task of training their dog all by themselves. However, some unscrupulous writers don’t miss the opportunity to invade the market with anything they can come up with and call it a training book.
The truth is that some training books out there look and feel more like a comic book, since the author never actually had a dog before. These books completely void of substance, stand side by side next to material written by authors with more than thirty years of dog training experience. The use of a printed guide can be a powerful tool for pet owners in search for plan on how to take their dog through the basics of dog training. However, an incredible amount of weeding must be done in order to get rid of the junk that can stand in the way of a good book.
An example of a well written book, might be Help! My dog has an attitude written by Gwen Bohnenkamp. It is easy to find substantial information included in this book. One of the things pointed out by the author in this book, is the fact that dogs, like human beings, are subject to every day stress situations typical of modern day life. Incidents like the noise of the ambulance, a car stopping right next to you and honking the horn, are just some examples that can drive any living organism to the top of his nerves! The book gets the reader to think about his surroundings from a dogs point of view, and become conscious of the fact that we are directly responsible for much of it.
Another example of a dog training book is The Dog Whisperer written by Paul Owens. His work is completely void of significant information, and could be labeled an example of the kind of book that needs to be weeded out at the library. The book starts off to include a few basic principles on training, and then goes on to talk about love between you and your pet. He also attempts to include spirituality as part of the training, digressing a great deal from the matter at hand. Therefore, in order to avoid spending your money in a dog training book that turns out to be lessons in Yoga, ask around and search online dog forums for worthy recommendations. Although some people may consider yoga the way to go when it comes to teaching your dog a few lessons, this article is meant for those who wish to keep it simple, and within the means of traditional dog training.
