Here is my list of the best dog training ebooks. I’m not calling it the “top ten” or any other number, because over time I intend to keep adding to it. Who knows? Maybe someday it will be the top 100! These downloadable products are typically in PDF format, and the free software you need to read them — the Adobe Acrobat reader — is probably already on your computer. If not, get it at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Okay, they are, listed loosely in terms of much I like them and my opinion of value for the price:

Before You Get Your Puppy, by Ian Dunbar, is a popular paperback by a foremost dog trainer now available as a free download from the publishers. It “covers the first three developmental deadlines covering the period of puppy selection until your puppy’s first week at home,” according to the site. They offer it as a public service. If you haven’t read anything by Dr. Dunbar, he writes extremely well.

The A1 Dog Training Collection, by Silvia Kent. The link takes you to my page reviewing this collection, which can be purchased individually or as a group at a good discount. Individual ebooks are: Dynamic Dog Training, Overcoming Dog Behaviour Problems, Your Dog and Your Baby, The Harmony Program, and Take the Class: The Dog Obedience Instructor’s Handbook. (I have separate pages reviewing each ebook, all linked to from this link.) I really like how much love and respect she shows to dogs.

The Ultimate House Training Guide Ebook, by Martin “Scoop” Olliver. The link takes you to my review of this comprehensive ebook on potty training puppies and adult dogs.

Sit Stay Fetch. While I don’t subscribe to some of the theories in this ebook / mp3 set, it is very nicely put together and quite comprehensive. The link takes you to my review, where I explain my differences with Daniel Stevenson’s approach and describe this well-organized training plan.

If you have written a dog training ebook, you would like me to review, please email me about it at my first name (rosana) at the name of this website. By the same token, if you have read a good dog training ebook, I would love to know about it.
