K9 Personal Protection: A Manual for Training Reliable Protection Dogs
Author: Resi Gerritsen
Binding: Hardcover
Price: $27.01
The successful training of a reliable Protection Dog starts with good education and obedience training. With this in mind, Ruud Haak and Resi Gerritsen open their book with a solid coverage of the preliminary considerations: conditions for success, breeds suitable for protection work, a look at various training approaches, and an explanation of basic concepts in training dogs. From there, they launch into basic training every dog should have, as well as thoroughly covering how to break bad habits in your dog.

AnimalSign TO You. Imagine! Signing Is Not Just For Primates Anymore
Author: Sean Senechal
Binding: Paperback
Price: $19.95
This book explains a ground-breaking approach to human animal communication--treating animals as language learners. The approach teaches animals a new sign language for them to use to communicate. The language is AnimalSign that Senechal created with her animals. It extends beyond the natural body language animals already use, into new learned gestures. The first part of the book is about AnimalSign Language, its origin, development, structure, and dialects. The second half has a 'how-to-section' for dogs and horses. It shows pictures and stick sketches of the gestures. A teacher, Senechal has a future vision of uses and benefits of animal signing. She describes new and expanded careers for signing animals and people. An explorer, she believes that we just don't know whether animals can learn a new productive language--as until now, no one has tried to teach them in such a focused man

Dog Training: Retrievers and Pointing Dogs (The Complete Hunter)
Author: Jason Smith
Binding: Paperback
Price: $9.53

There is nothing more pleasing to an avid bird hunter than to watch a well-trained sporting dog do what it was bred to do: hunt. Likewise, there is nothing more pleasing to a pet owner than to watch their well-trained family dog interact in a calm and controlled manner with family and friends.

With step-by-step instructions and detailed photographs and illustrations, this book provides proven information for achieving the best of both those worlds. Everything is discussed from choosing a sporting breed (retriever or pointer), to basic family-friendly obedience commands, to introducing the dog to the sound of a gun, competing in field trials and hunt tests, using an electronic collar, and keeping your sporting dog happy and healthy. It even covers how the nation's top trainers troubleshoot some of the more common problems faced in the field.
